WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT MATTHEW ABADDON?
Thus far, Abaddon has helped assemble the team that came to the island from the freighter. He visited Hurley in the booby hatch to ask about the rest of the Oceanic 815 passengers. And he convinced a wheelchair-assisted Locke to go on a “walkabout” through the Australian Outback.

WHAT DOES HIS NAME MEAN?
Although Matthew means “a gift from God” in Hebrew, the Bible assigns Abaddon many not-so-cheery meanings, including “a place of destruction” and “the realm of the dead.” The word is also described as a creature that resembles a centaur with long hair, locusts’ wings and the tail of a scorpion. All in all, scholars have roughly interpreted all this to mean that he’s the king of hell, the anti-Christ, the big guy: Satan.

SO HE’S A BAD GUY THEN?
When asked this very question, Reddick chooses his words carefully: “He believes he’s on the side of the good guys.” This answer is, of course, fitting for a show that also features Benjamin Linus, Charles Widmore, the Others and “the freighter folk,” none of whom conform easily to good guy-bad guy characterizations.

EXACTLY HOW MUCH DOES HE KNOW ABOUT HIS CHARACTER?
While Reddick says he has been given key pieces of context on Abaddon’s backstory, which he declines to share, he says he prefers to “play to the mystery.” Well, it has certainly worked.

WHO DOES HE WORK FOR?
Wait, you mean he doesn’t work for Widmore? Maybe not. While Reddick declines to answer definitively, he says that we have been given information that could lead us to a conclusion. Further, he teases: “It’ll be crystal clear on [Wednesday] who he works for.” Like, maybe… Satan?

WHO WILL HE HAVE SCENES WITH?
Unlike Abaddon’s previous appearances, in which he had one-on-one encounters, this time he’ll get around more, it seems. “It’ll be with several of the main characters,” he reports. “He’s all throughout the episode.” The episode purports to show us what happened to Locke from the time he left the island via frozen donkey wheel until his death.

HOW DOES HE APPEAR AGAIN?
“Just as every single moment that Abaddon has shown up has been a surprise, how he shows up and how the character develops throughout the episode… just be prepared to be very surprised,” Reddick says.

We’re prepared! We’re prepared!

SPOILER ALERT! ”LOST” returned to downtown Honolulu this morning to film a New York street scene. The intersection of Bethel St. and Merchant St. was converted into the Upper West Side in Manhattan, with a tell-tale subway entrance (”Columbus & 67th St. Station”), New York cabs, some news racks, and an antique rugs shop (”established 1902?).

The centerpiece, though, was Honolulu’s upscale preschool, The Cole Academy. Through the power of quality set signage, its ornate entrance became the door to Fieldcroft School.  Students, perhaps in their early teens, stood around with their backpacks.  Nearby, a limousine waits.

So does, I’m told, John Locke (Terry O’Quinn), Matthew Abbadon (Lance Reddick), Ben Linus (Michael Emerson)… and Walt Lloyd (Malcolm David Kelley)?  I might be taking a long lunch today to check this out!

Question: I need to know what night and time Lost is on starting in Jan. ’09. I need to select which evenings I’m teaching next semester, and I prefer to watch Lost live, not on DVR two hours later. — Rosamaria
Ausiello: No decision has been made yet, but my gut is telling me it’ll return to Thursdays at 10 pm. In related news, remember my scoop last week about Lance Reddick returning for an episode? Well, my Hawaii mole reports that he was shooting scenes in a hospital with Charles Widmore. Theorizes Doc Jensen: “If you believe, as I do, that Charles Widmore has been chasing after the Island in order to cheat death by exploiting its time-travel properties, my guess is that Daddy Devilbucks was telling his mysterious henchman, ‘Would you please hurry your ass up and find me that Island?! I’m dyin’ here!’”

***************

I have this nagging feeling that Lost from here on will focus on the Oceanic 6, at the expense of the people – my Sawyer included! – left on the island. Please tell me I’m wrong. – Lauren
Matt: I take great pleasure in telling you that you are wrong. I then laugh derisively in your general direction. Have no fear, Lauren, the left-behinders will get plenty of air time. In fact, a (probably well-tanned) setsider tells me that Elizabeth Mitchell, for one, has never had more to do and as such is busier than a one-armed paperhanger. But is she getting busy with Your Sawyer? That’s the question.
