I get it, it's the final season. But when it was shown that Ben ordered his girlfriend's brother to break into Sam's house to steal the tape, tag 'NBK' on the wall, and leave a bloody trail in his wake....uh...were the writers smoking crack?

That is a HUGE jump. And so illogical. Just because Sam was starting to feel guilty about lying about the tape, Ben, who's been so tight knit with Sam for such a long time, decides to take this leap? I mean, what in the ever loving *beep* LOL did I just watch. The show has been so great, and in the last few episodes, they drop this hot steaming turd on your lap.

L O L I can't get over how stupid that is. It's practically ruined the show for me.

Just keep watching M8 you'll get to see where Ben's dirty tricks cause him to end up as a character. I was slightly disappointed with that storyline as well but it all kinda seemed like a part of a natural progression for Ben's use of dirty tactics which first came to light in the season 4 finale where he decides to shoot and kill Ronnie.

What was supposed to happen was Moko was supposed to break in, steal the tape and leave. Afterwards when he met Ben and the house he said "wtf man, you said no one was going to be there" and Ben confirmed that. So Ben didn't tell him to beat anyone up, Moko did that on his own. Does this make Ben's actions any less wrong? No, not at all. Just wanted to clarify that he did not tell Moko to beat anyone up.
