Ben Linus as a prison counselor

Saturday, March 6, 2010


In this intense 1992 job training video for prison guards, Lost's Michael Emerson is a squirrelish, preternaturally calm prison counselor who tries to talk an enraged, Charles Manson-ish prisoner down from the edge. Knowing how things usually go for Ben Linus, I keep expecting the prisoner to get out and beat poor Ben to a pulp. (Either that, or Ben would pull out an extendable truncheon and break both of the prisoner's knees in like three seconds flat.)

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
