"The List" for Richard Alpert

[ladylacewing]

I would like to compose a list of places/people that Richard Alpert has been/seen. Hopefully, get some conversations going about his 'genisis'. his agelessness, and his connection to the losties - past/present/future.

I will start:

- Visits John Locke as a child. Gives him a visual object test.
- Discovers a young Ben and introducing him to the Hostiles.
- Is at the meeting for Juliet and Mittelos BioScience
- Gives Sawyer the file on Anthony Cooper - to assist Locke (?) or assist Sawyer (?)

Please correct/add to this...I am so curious about thoughts and theories about Richard Alpert - where has he been/where is he going? who is he connected to?

Any help would be appreciated...in a big way.

Yeah, um, I am a little Obsessive. :)

Much thanks,
LLW

LLW,

Alpert is certainly mysterious. One of the things that has bugged me about him for quite awhile now is the clothing he wore when he first appeared to young Ben in the woods. That may seem very miniscule in the mystery of Richard, but the clothing appeared to possibly suggest he may have been on the Black Rock. I'm not sure I believe that or not. Many have posted for or against this notion. But the clothing thing bothers me for the following reason. I think every other time we have seen Richard he has had time-appropriate clothing on. He wore a suit when recruiting Juliet. He also looked appropriately dressed in the hosptial for Locke's birth. Maybe I am mistaken.

Regardless, I was thrilled to see Alpert back in the story and hope there is more info to come. Although I am betting it will be next season before we get any more.
