I don't remember the exact timeline of when they established that he was immortal but it seems plausible that it was a retroactive decision by the writers. Carbonell was supposed to be on a new CBS show which probably would have meant he couldn't be on Lost anymore, but then the show got canceled due to the writers' strike. Cane, I think? Something with Jimmy Smits. Ab Aeterno (a.k.a. the much heralded Wrestling With Angels episode) was excellent and the best part of Season 6. Like, Alpert sits at 20 on my list for all the reasons mentioned. He's a mysterious character who gets both more complex and more dumb with age. I'm also contemplating now how so many problems on Lost are defined by arbitrary rules that end up ignored or broken. The exact compass direction to reach the island, that if you talk with smokey you can never defeat him, everything with Jacob. Maybe the Swan Hatch was an experiment after all! Pressing the numbers in does work and save the world every 108 minutes, but that doesn't mean every dumb rule there is needs to actually be followed. *foams at mouth remembering the stupid candidate shit and the lighthouse and Eloise's pendulum and graugfahfyzhyd* --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD ...
