Thank God I took two years of Spanish in high school because tonight’s episode was “en Espanol” (that means “in Spanish” for those of you who didn’t know).
The Passion of Richard Alpert
The episode was titled, “Ab Aeterno” (which loosely translates into “from the eternal”) and it was Richard Alpert-centric. Who knew that an episode focusing on the ageless wonder would kinda answer so many questions? More than that, who would’ve known that a show that was nearly 80 percent in Spanish would’ve been the most intriguing of the season?
That said, here’s what we learned:
1.) Richard was also known as “Ricardo” – which definitely sounds exotic.
2.) Back in 1827, Richard looked a lot like Jesus.
3.) According to Jacob, the sole purpose of the island is like a cork to a wine bottle. Why couldn’t they have just said this in the very beginning?
4.) Richard looks really cool when riding a horse.
5.) The more Hurley wears the red shirt, the more I want Kool-Aid.
6.) We FINALLY know where that Goonies-like pirate ship came from!
7.) We FINALLY get a break from Flocke’s moobs.
8.) We FINALLY understand WHY Ricardo maintained his great physique and dreamy eyes.
9.) Ricardo looks much better with short hair and just a healthy hint of a beard.
10.) The island isn’t hell – it’s just a lot like it.
Above all, this is the first time in a long while that I got misty eyed at a Lost episode. I mean, if you didn’t get tears in your eyes and a lump in your throat during that Ghost-esque scene between Richard, his wife and Hurley (who in this case was Whoopi) then you are dead inside.
