My goodness! How old is Richard Alpert, anyway? So he has been watching Locke all his life. One thing that this tells me is that whoever has been manipulating everyone to be on flight 815 knew that it would crash on the island, and that these people would survive.
Matthew Abaddon, the orderly, was also interested in Locke (he advised Locke to go on a 'Walkabout'). Abaddon appears to work for Widmore, so Alpert and Abaddon are not working together (unless Abaddon is a spy, working for the others). With these guys pestering Locke all his life, it's no wonder he thinks he has some destiny.
We also saw that Locke has had a fascination with knifes since he was a child. I wonder which object he was supposed to recognize as belonging to him.
In the cabin, Christian looked pretty darn real to me. I still wonder whether he is really dead. Of course, if he was alive, how could he convince Claire to leave Aaron in the woods like that? As a ghost, perhaps he is manipulating her supernaturally or something...
Am I going to have to go back and figure out whose side each minor character is on now? Alpert is with Jacob, Abaddon is with Widmore(?), Christian Shephard is with Jacob, Libby is with Widmore, Kelvin Inman is with Widmore (Kelvin is the one who taught Sayid to torture, and Desmond to push the button). This is one big chess game between Jacob and Widmore, and I don't know who to root for.

Something Nice Back Home
Sorry for the late post. I was dealing with family matters this week.
I don't know that I was really too impressed with this episode. We saw Jack together with Kate. We saw Jack's slide into mental and emotional instability. And we saw Jack begin his drug addiction.
The most important thing, in my opinion, in this episode was when Claire saw her father. We have recently been shown that ghosts may be real on this show. Although I don't know why Claire would leave Aaron like that, I think she is ok for now, and that Christian is going to tell her that Jack is her half brother.
When Jack said to Kate that she is not related to Aaron, I think we were meant to think it is ironic, and that Jack doesn't know that he is related. However, I believe that he does know. I think Claire found out from their father, and she told Jack. That would begin to explain why Jack didn't want to see Aaron at first. There was some kind of emotional baggage there.
Now, what is the deal with who raises Aaron? At first, Claire is told that no one but her could raise him. Now that Clair is unable to, we learn that Jack, specifically can not.
