that certainly was one pants-jizzing episode.

okay someone update me here cuz I havent seen seasons 3 or 4 although I think I kinda know what happens. jack's father being there talking to locke is supposed to be jacob right? or the island using dead people as always to say things to john. but why did he say "say hello to my son" if he wasnt indeed jack's father? unless he was refering to someone else...

and why is it ben that is doing everything that this person said?

Christian is still Christian. He was just 'chosen' by Jacob to speak for him and do what he needs done. He isn't Jacob, he just speaks for him.

and why is it ben that is doing everything that this person said?

What person? Christian? He has never spoken to Christian.

Rebecca Mader Confirms Death

How did the producers break it to you that Charlotte was going to die?

I've known since June of '08, because that's when we negotiate contracts between seasons. Originally when I started on the show in August 2007, I was only supposed to do eight episodes. I ended up doing 20. I was on the show a lot longer than I thought I was going to be. A lot of it has to do with the writers strike. Less episodes in Season 4 meant back stories were compromised for the new people. I think that's why my character carried into Season 5.

And how did you take it?

I was disappointed when I found out. When I got to the end of Season 4 and found out Charlotte had been born on the island, that was huge. So when I found out I was leaving, I was disappointed. Like all things, it's for the best.

How much did they tell you about Charlotte initially?

When I first got the job, I was told nothing about my character. She's an anthropologist and she's tough; she's a female Indiana Jones. That's what I went into the show knowing. That's all I knew all of Season 4, until the very end, when I learned I was originally from the island. I was on a break reading my script, and I said, "Bloody hell!"

It seems like the actors spend a lot of time just walking across the island. True?

[Lots of laughter] Traipsing. It's a lot of traipsing. You have to do it a lot of times. First you walk up the hill, then you go down the hill, then you go back up the hill. By the end of the day, you don't want to be on the hill anymore.

So many people who "die" on the show keep showing up. What's your sense of how likely you are to return?

I may end up coming back in Season 6. Some people say, "You'll be back!" If I'm not, never mind. If they turn around and ask me to come back, I'd be happy to do it.

Fans spend so much time obsessing over the clues on this show. How much time do the actors who make the show spend thinking over the creation of those clues?

[Laughter] I have to be careful how I answer this. I think they're more concerned by what's for lunch.

I wonder how Lost was suppose to turn out if it wasn't for the writer's strike... completely different story, different ending.

The executive producers have stated that they've known the ending for some time. I think since the beginning of Season Two. So the ending is probably still the same. But the stories could have changed. Obviously, they have changed to a degree. If she was only suppose to be on for eight episodes, it is probably safe to assume the original story didn't have Daniel in love with Charlotte. It probably wouldn't have felt as powerful, her dying that is, if she had died only after eight episodes.

So yeah, some stories have changed, but for the most part, the overall storyline hasn't I'd imagine.

Hopefully, maybe, on the sixth season blu-ray discs, they'll have a story featurette and tell us what major changes they did along the way.

Another possible theory...

The Black Rock's steering wheel (ship) is the "Donkey Wheel". This can be supported by the lantern used by Locke in the Black Rock and the lantern used by both Ben and Christian down in the Orchid, which appear to be the same models. This might also add to Alpert's longevity. If one of the Black Rock's crew, Alpert, figured out the way survive by traveling back and forth in his original timeline - around the mid 1800s. It would explain why he doesn't age. I just don't buy the notion that Alpert is immortal.

Well... this episode... the temple... Egyptian hieroglyphs ... Richard Alpert and his pharaoh eyes ... makes you wonder

Stargate! heh...

But seriously, makes you think, if his looks (natural eyes) have something to do with his role and didn't Ben got teleported somehow to Egypt?

Richard doesn't know about time travel. Or at least when Locke brought it up, Alpert looked very confused about what Locke was saying. I don't think that is it.

I like the theory that he doesn't age because he's one of the island's original inhabitants and they once they reach a certain age, they stop aging. Sort of like Adam Monroe from Heroes, where he stopped aging after so many years. Of course he's immortal and I don't believe that Alpert is.

It is also possible that Alpert is still needed by the island, or Jacob and that's why he doesn't age. The island still needs him for things (like Michael and Locke being kept alive).

But I don't buy that Alpert has been time traveling, not with the confused look on his face when Locke mentioned he was from the future.
