Abbadon has a few roles, he was the Oceanic Airlines Lawyer when he visited Hurley in Santa Rosa and then he recruited Naomi and the gang to go to the Island so he could be working for Widmore.

The african american that told Locke to go on a walkabout? kinda strange name they gave him... Matthew Abaddon which means lost forever (the most accurate I think)

Erm, dead?

Hahah oh yeah I forgot about that. I was thinking the last place we saw her was when they took her captive when they killed Danielle and Karl.

Yeah it would be interesting if he is with Richard in the Temple and the rest of the Others.

He was shown off island both right before current times (talking to Naomi) and after (meeting Hurley). He can't be there, why would he leave?

Though, the 'you're going to owe me one' line to Locke was interesting. Since Locke won't leave the island, that means Abaddon must get there somehow.

"Abaddon" is the name of the biblical Angel of the Abyss (Revelation 9:11). The name is Greek for "destruction" or "the destroyer". As a place, it is likened to Sheol or hell.

The name is rendered in Greek as Apollyon and described as king of the locusts which rose at the sounding of the fifth trumpet. "In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails. They have as king over them, the angel of the Abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon." (Revelation 9:7-11)

Abaddon is mentioned again elsewhere in revelations "And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit; he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft." (Revelation 9:1-2)

Abaddon is pictured as a human sized locust, and is known as the lord of pestilence. "Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth; they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads; they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man. And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them." (Revelation 9:3-6)

My brother spotted an interesting thing regarding Richard visiting Locke as a kid and asking him to remember his possessions and how this reminded my brother about a similar thing they did with the Dalai Lama. Looked on wikipedia and it says:

The title "Dalai Lama" is presently granted to each of the spiritual leader's successive incarnations (for example, the 14th Dalai Lama's next incarnation will hold the title "the 15th Dalai Lama").

In the Himalayan tradition, phowa (Tibetan) is the discipline that transfers the mindstream to the intended body.

Upon the death of the Dalai Lama and consultation with the Nechung Oracle, a search for the Lama's reincarnation, or yangsi (yang srid), is conducted. Familiarity with the possessions or attributes of the previous Dalai Lama is considered the main sign of the tulku. The search for the reincarnated mindstream typically requires a number of years. The reincarnated being is then installed and trained by the other Lamas.

So is Locke a reincarnation of someone?

I have a feeling the Alpert we saw this week was a time traveling Alpert from today's era using the Orchid to test Locke.

Locke picking the knife was less of a "your not ready" thing and more of a "oh ****, he's the one" thing.

I don't think Alpert is doing any time traveling.

What I do want to point out, though, is that Alpert visited Locke twice, once as a baby, another when he was a boy. Both times Richard's face was shaved, he was in a suit, presentable, etc. When he appeared to Ben, he was wearing the rags that the Others wore until it became known that they were pretending. We really need to find out more about the Others when Dharma was on the island and they were hostiles.

Jorge Garcia about the season finale

Jorge Garcia said the finale is gonna be "Ummm.... Well it's going to be hard to top Kate and Jack off island. But it's big. Really big."

(Doesn't need spoiler tags i reckon)

Episode 4.12 - There's No Place Like Home - HQ Promo

Is Claire not in her right state of mind? Or does she know something now?

I thought maybe shes been brainwashed by Christian and thats how shes gonna go out the show just go round with him now leaving Kate to take Aaron.

I don't think Alpert is doing any time traveling.

So the question would be:

How did Richard know that Locke will be someone special (at the time of his birth)?

When he asked Locke to choose those items that belonged to him. That kind of hinted towards time travel because There was a knife, compass, etc. Soon as he picked that knife he looked worried, perhaps he knows Locke plays a massive part on that island.

Another thing that intrigued me was how did child Locke know what items belonged to him.

No, Richard knew before Locke's birth that he's going to be someone special.

He does not visit all the babies in the world to do that test ...

Okay all this business with Richard and young Locke is confusing me...

If anyone is interested. Amazon are doing a offer to buy Lost Seasons 1,2 and 3 DVD for $80.00 instead of $180. Tbf, thats a pretty good deal (Y)
