you may well be right, but what I really want to know is WHAT THE F IS THE DEAL WITH RICHARD ALPERT?!?

watching newest episode tonight!

Bat Manuel immortal or what?

that Richard Alpert is the heart and soul of the island...he is a part of it, much like our Losties.

TheTick247: He's Batmanuel from *The Tick*!

I loved that show. I was so mad when that show was canceled.

I think this show is extremely confusing and I try not to analyze anything too much
