The lost TV show has captured my interest since the very beginning in the premiere episode when the plane first crashed on the now infamous island.

The latest episode in this final season six of Lost delves more deeply into the Richard Alpert character. We learn more about his past and exactly why he appears to be immortal and never ages.

Back in 1867 on the Canary Islands he was married and is roughly the same age as he appears throughout all years of the show even when the main characters were time traveling. There was a situation he got himself into where his wife was sick, he needed medicine, couldn’t afford it, and went to the local doctor to get it.

It was a long ride on horseback and he was under extreme time constraints. To make matters worse he didn’t have enough money to buy the medicine and he and the doctor got in a struggle and the doctor ended up dead.

So Richard was sent to prison and ended up on a boat which is how he landed on the island. He runs into the black smoke demon character who attempts to persuade him to kill Jacob in much the same way that the Japanese leader of the Temple told Sayed he should kill the black smoke guy. The irony here is delicious.

The instructions are the same, “Take this knife and stab it right through his chest and into his heart. Don’t let him speak because if you let him say a word it’s already too late”.

Of course, Jacob ambushes Richard and starts talking to him before he even has a chance to stab Jacob. Then it gives an in-depth explanation about the island’s origins and how Richard came to be the way he is.

I won’t go into the full details because it’s an episode you should definitely watch. Lost season six is heating up and I’m going to be sad to see the TV show have its series finale in May.
