Widmore is kind of laughable in hindsight. I remember it being so flaccid in Season 6 with him, but I couldn't even tell you what actually happened to him in Season 6 at all. I just remember so much disappointment from it.

But Richard is weird. Because it absolutely feels like everyone laughed and then said "Hahaha, Richard doesn't age at all because of the shitty make-up work," and then people did as they usually did and went "So what if it's really BECAUSE he can't age?"

And then it felt like the writers just leaned into that because it was a stupid fan theory based on a bad wig or whatever it was? Like, more than anything else in Lost, I distinctly remember it feeling like something they just tacked on after the fact.

That said, Nestor Carbonell is an amazing actor. He's brilliant in Bates Motel. I really enjoyed the character throughout the series. I'd probably rank him higher still, but I'm not going to complain too much. It's such a bizarre choice they made with the character.

Am I crazy and remembering this timeline of events wrong? Because I swear that's how this played out in fan circles and then the writers.
