This blog from Zap2it posted a "best of last TV season" blog, in which Lost and Ben got mentioned a few times. From blog.zap2it.com/scifi/2008/09/misfits-tv-best.html
Best Series
Lost. After shedding its skin in the mind-bending Season 3 finale, Lost embraced its inner hardcore sci-fi geek, introducing us to time-traveling bunnies, frozen donkey wheels, and an ever-expanding plot that just might involve the survival of the human race.
Favorite Character
Benjamin Linus, Lost. In some ways, this character resembles that of Mercutio: he so dominates the show that he threatens to overshadow everything else. Luckily, you can be sure that the producers of Lost will not kill him off preemptively. All the better for us, as every moment he's onscreen is truly Must See TV.
Character Most Deserving of A Spin-Off
Sayid Jarrad, Lost. His off-Island activities are a mix of the televised version of The Incredible Hulk mixed with the high-espionage of Mission: Impossible, with the emotional angst of an Paul Thomas Anderson film. Throw in Ben Linus as the Higgins to Sayid's Magnum P.I. and you have yourself a show.
Fight We'd Most Like To See
Runner-Up: Benjamin Linus (Lost) vs. Clark Kent (Smallville). Just wanna see how Ben would beat him. I'm pretty sure he could out-Lex Lex and actually take down the Man of Steel. After all, he's undoubtedly already studied the Last Son of Krypton's files front to back.
