If you’re a LOST fan, follow me here … if not, go pump some gas for a bit.
OK, LOST … the producers have been pimping this new character, Matthew Abaddon.
A fierce and ruthless corporate recruiter who appears intimidating. Abaddon first appears in the flash forward in “The Beginning of the End”. He visits Hurley in the mental hospital where he tries to learn from Hurley if the other survivors are still alive. He abruptly leaves when Hurley becomes agitated. He returns in a flashback talking to Naomi about the crew he has assembled for her in “Confirmed Dead”. He appears to be in charge of the freighter’s operations on the Island and recruited all the people on Naomi’s freighter, including Miles, Daniel, Charlotte, and Frank. He and Naomi also seem to imply that they are either not convinced by the finding of Oceanic 815 or they themselves planted the fake plane. He apparently works for Charles Widmore since Widmore is financing the freighter and is the main person trying to find the Island. In the flashback of Cabin Fever Abaddon poses as an orderly in a rehabilitation clinic for John Locke after he is paralyzed. He gives Locke hope and advises him to go on a walkabout to find himself.
There are many theories flying around consisting of Abaddon and his “true” connection to the island … HOWEVER … I just saw a commercial for a new show on FOX (from LOST co-creator, J.J. Abrams) called Fringe (blog). Abaddon (Lance Reddick) is featured in this commercial for the show.
Is he leaving? Is he not as important on LOST as theorized? Is J.J. Abrams toying with LOST fans with this commercial (this being the LOST finale week)? Is Fringe a companion to LOST?
