Richard Alpert.

He was the guy trying to convince Juliette to go to portland.

He seemed to have some high power of authority. I'm thinking that he might be Jacob....even though we all think eye patch man is Jacob. I for one, would like to see/learn more about this character, I hope he wasn't just a one off for that episode.

Maybe he was working for the Mittlewerk Hanso Foundation?

Could he be HIM?

No he's not him, Ben was him. Or atleast he was the him of the island until he died. Maybe before there was another him such as Rich, but at that time of Ben lying, Ben was him.

Maybe we'll be seeing more eps of how more of the Others got on the island. We'll have to keep an eye out to see if he's the once doing the convincing.

A link to a "real " Richard ALpert- interesting.

Biography

Hmmm... very interesting link Lostolio! You have Juliet with her fertility knowledge and now a reference to a child-rearing guru. Are they raising a little colony of super children?

Super children?? more like freaks of nature like Henry and his tumor friend.

Juliet hs been there 3 years and hasnt seemed to have done anything as far as making childern is concerned... I see none. And the progess hasnt bee shown either. I think shes been reading stephen king the whole time and bieng a gossiping wortthless OTHER like the rest of them. Richard knew she tends to side with the evil in us all. thats why he chose her. Sure her research.... BUT more so becuase she is a schemer and liar and thats the type of people they need.

Bunch of failures if you ask me. And Richard is just a creep. Hes like the stereotypical creep who shows up for the rich people. ( like in jurassic park) he knows how to manipulate you and such and knows that "NO" is not an acceptable answer. Hes like The m,ain character in Thankyou for Smoking... point is.. he is a creep a hired creep at that.

Super children ideally in theory, but plans go BAD or AWRY, you know what I mean. Now it's damage control & containment, damage cotrol & containment, damage control & containment! I agree with you Benmer - richard is CREEPY, and jurassic park is the name of the game - the kind of control you are attemping is , uh..., impossible!

I wonder if Henry gale and the others onlly have 4 toes? Maybe whats the Physical feature we can see to tell who the " others gone bad are..."

OOH.... I never thought of that! (a Dr. Suess Star-bellies Sneetches thing) There has to be a reason for the 4 toes. Some sort of sign of a genetic mutation of superiority?
