I don't wanna say too much for those who haven't seen the last series but, that picture that Locke drew looks eerily similar to what happens at the end of 'Across The Sea' doesn't it? The person on the ground is even posed in a similar way. I would like to be more specific here but I don't wanna spoil it for anyone. Those of you who've seen that episode know what I mean .
Yes the compass did belong to Lock in 1954 according to Richard, considering Locke gave it to him. But Richard had no idea at the time, future Locke was obsessed with knives. It's a shame... and I felt so sad for young Locke, because he was right.. in his choice. The compass initially belonged to Richard or Locke, or neither.. depending on how you look at it. I'd say none of the above. The knife had the most significance, for a knife wielding Locke.
@Scoonertuna Or it's the Ash that was never explained that for whatever reason, the smoke monster can't move across, that surrounded the cabin, and also who Bram in Jacob's home surrounded himself in a circle, so the smoke monster couldn't touch him.
@WhiteStar11111 I think Richard wanted Locke to choose The compass, the bottle of sand, and the book of Law. if you watch Richards face he smirks a little when Locke is looking at the book of law.
@xbrindle It was either a vision of a dream. I think the person in the drawing is Locke. It's foreshadowing that Locke is going to be possessed by the smoke demon.
@schoolgurl95 He was a tragic character from the beginning, but it shows that even the person with the most tragic life can be a good person. He grew up to be a good man, but fated to become a vessel for a monster.
It actually has to do with how they find the Dalai Lama. John Locke failed the test because he didn't pick up the compass therefore he isn't the true leader of the others.
richard will always look good.............lol.........he is very old though, probably only bad thing, oh besides the fact he probably has never gotten over his wifes death......man 1.16 and 1.20 thats just to wierd
@RrriiiCkkk actually the guy that plays richard syas that his eyes have always been like that, he was asked that question in an interview.....that or a fan asked him that question
I just watched Kundun and there's a scene just like this, where they ask the young Dali Lama to pick the things that already belonged to him. Just a cool connection I thought, wonder if that was intentional.
Locke didn't pick three things. He only considered the sand and the compass. His final choice was the knife.
Richard was the one making the mistake here. He didn't understand how time travel worked. Locke had given Richard the compass some years earlier. There was no way young Locke would know about that yet.
Oh man. This is one of the most haunting scenes of the series for me. What was so bad? What could be learned from this test? Probably the producers just wanted to screw with us. They sure did that a lot. Damnit.
@Scoonertuna Richard had no power to choose the leader. Maybe it was some time fuck thing where John felt connected to the knife today as he would be in the future and the past but I don't know why that would disturb Richard so much.
@SPFrobber You're right. Richard did not have the power to choose who the next leader was going to be, but he was searching for the next leader. As for the knife perhaps, this is just a theory, the knife represented violence. Throughout the series the Others have always said they were peaceful and only attacked if they were threatened and when Locke picked the knife it could have meant more violence would follow. I agree with you though: Locke picked the knife because he liked knives.
This chapter explains what does the word "special" means. When someone is special, that person knows and does stuff that has never experienced. Richard made the "reminiscente test" to prove if John Locke was "special", since John Locke gave him the compas in 1954, then at 1961 approx., 5 five years after the birth of John Locke, Richard makes the test, to prove if John knows already that the compas is his, that's why he is angry when he doesn't chose the compas.
@Scoonertuna OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH Man!!!!! Ab Aeterno was so freakin awesome. Richard Alpert!!!!!!!! Oh man!!!!!!!!! You got fun in store when ya get there brotha.
(continued)........................., but the reason that locke gave richard the compass is because in lockes time flash before the jughead one, richard gave him the compass and told locke that he had to die, but thats just because it was the time after MIB took over lockes body, and told richard to go talk to the flashing locke and give him the compass....WAhhhhh MIB was thinking waaayy ahead...
hmmm....wait....the only reason that richard comes to visit locke, is some years before this, locke visits the others in the camp, in jughead times, when grown up locke is traveling throught time with daniel, juliet, miles sawyer ect., and he told him to come visit him, in a couple of years when he's born, and gave him the compass...............
@thebirdisblue Because what young Locko had chosen was not what Richard was expecting, like something positive. The knife meant something really bad about locke's future.
I am writing a short YouTube song for every episode of LOST this season. I call it a song-blog. Check out the playlist at my "rlaist" YouTube channel! Subscribe for regular updates! Namaste.
I think that during this final season, Richard Alpert has become my favorite Lost character (beating out Ben Linus). They couldn't have found a better actor to fit as Richard than Nestor Carbonell. I love this scene and it's one of my most favorite episodes of the series.
For a second I thought the vile of ash or white stuff was the medicine he got from the doctor he accidentally killed (for Isabella). I just checked, it's not.
i understand this more. Locke gave the compass to Richard in 1954, as a grown man. That was the same year he was born. And now Richard brings the compass back to locke 3 years later, and asks him if it is his.
I believe that Richard came to see if John was the one to g with Jacob and help him or go with the bad side with Jacob's brother and kill Jacob. That's why Richard put some good things on that table and some bad things. He understood that he would be evil in the future not only when John chose the bad things on the table but also when he saw that he drew a painting of a monster attacking a man and in that case the monster was the Black Smoke on the island and the man was Jacob
That's debatable. Flocke has given us considerable reason to wonder whether there's still something of John Locke alive within him somehow. An earlier example would be when shouted "Don't tell me what I can't do!" at the mysterious jungle-boy who told him he'd broken the "rules".
More recently there's his chat with Kate to consider- the one that was initially about Claire and Aaron before switching to the subject of his/ LOCKE'S own childhood and "crazy mother" in comparison.
white ash-symbolizing choosing a light side, the good, the side of jacob. The compass being the one locke gave to richard when he time traveled. He should have chosen the book of laws, instead he chose the knife, which symbolizes war/evil, the side of the man in black. The knife is similar to the one Ben used to stab jacob with.
Yeah! Didn´t think about that with the knife and the compass! Good observation!
Richard probably think something good about the compass, (don´t know what) and then the aches that John kind of choose to be on the light side, Jacobs side.
But then the knife, Richard might realise that John is going to kill Jacob, and then gets upset and says that he is not ready to go to that school.(Wich I think is the island)
My guess is the reason John Locke picked the knife was because just like the drawings of the black smoke, he's sees himself in the future(foresight), on the island, with that knife. And he will use it to kill the nemesis. That is why Richard Apert could not understand why he picked the knife, because he's Richard Alpert in the 50's.
@automaticSOM I think Locke was supposed to pick three items because Richard said, "Which of these items belong to you already." The items Locke should have picked were the Compass, The Sand and The Book of Laws. When Lock picks the sand and the compass notice Richard smirks, but when he grabs the Knife Richard becomes disappointed.
The test is similar to the test they give to the Dahlia Lama.
@automaticSOM The sand is from the island's beach and the Book Of Law represents the Laws the island has. Remember in the series, I forget which episode, Benjamin has to leave the island because he broke the laws? A Leader must abide by the laws of the island and guide his followers to safety.
@bubbah Go back and watch "The life and death of Jeremy Bentham" There is a scene that gives a clue of John Locke alive and on the island wearing the suit. Now the word "SUIT" should give you a hint.
I was thinking, wasn't Locke supposed to chose the compass since Richard gave him that in Season 5 when Locke was moving through time and Richard asked him to give it to himself in the 1950's when they met.
I know why John Locke failed the Test. The kniffe does not belong to him, Richard was right, it belongs to the man in black, Jacob's nemesis, who inhabitate John!
When a Dalai Lama dies, they believe his soul wanders around till he finds a pregnant mother and enters her womb and becomes the baby. When a couple of years pass, the Dalai Lama's closest friends take some of his stuff and go around house to house to look for children. If a house has a child in the home, they give the child a few of the Dalai lama's things and a few that aren't his. If the child picks the Dalai lama's thingshis friends assume that the kid is the reincarnation of the Dalai lama.
I wonder what theory was Richard relying on at this time to test young Locke. He doesn't seem to know about time travel because he didn't believe the old Locke's story about how he knew him. Well even if he did how come he thinks young Locke will know something that hasn't even happened yet.
Holy shit I just got it! Richard wanted Locke to choose the compass. Because the compass already belonged to him. Locke gave Richard the compass in the army tent in the 50's, that's when he told him to go visit him when he's born.
My theory is that Kacob has already been kiiled and everything we already seen has already happened and they survivior were chosen to go back an undo the killingof Jacob..I also think thats a picture on the wall of jacob b4 he gets kicked into the fire by locke,thats why when he chooses the knife Richard looks at the picture on the wall with disgust
@lilrdog I thought it was pretty clear that the picture is the smoke monster attacking someone. And considering what we now know happened to Locke, it makes perfect sense...
This does makes sense; the adult Locke gave Richard the compass in 1954 as proof of his time-travelling, the vial contains sand from the island (so it's basically John's) and the book is sacred to the Others, who Locke later becomes the leader of.
But Richard has miscalculated here and the child Locke has only vague memories of the Island (his drawing at 1:17 shows he does have some recollection), so he just chooses the knife because it looks cool.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
clse5d2,your right thats why richared noticed that lock is not special,,lock is just a pawn..he got played by the bad guy..he got used just like his father used him.locke is a bitch,he got used so jacobs enemy can get closed to jacob,,locke was never a leader,..hes a bitch....bald headed wimp!
"a number of objects such as rosaries, ritualistic implements, books, tea-cups, etc., are placed together, and the child must pick out those which belonged to the late tulku, thus showing that he recognizes the things which were theirs in their previous life."
What interests me even more about the test are the objects Richard placed in front of young Locke. The comic book to represent a belonging of Hurley, the mitt representing an item of Jack's as a kid, "the book of law" representing a belonging of Sayid, etc.
I also wonder if Locke DID have knives with him on the island as an adult later, why the reaction from Richard?
@Darkwolfproduction right and i believe hte previous life of locke was jacob's enemy from the beach. So what item was he supposed to pick? do you know? lol
@Darkwolfproduction No, he didn't pick the right one. Go watch season 5. Locke gives Richard the compass in the 1950s - therefore, it belongs to Locke - and then in the 1970s Richard says that he has been to visit Locke-the-child "off island" several times.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@RandomPenguin101 he did pick the compass you idiot he picked three items that belonged to him already, the sand the compass and the knife. which the knife is wrong to richard.
well most people wonder when Locke lands on the island that it's Aj being able to 'pretend' to be Locke. Since no one knew him it would be easy to be somebody new.
Can someone tell me what the drawing is all about? I'm watching season 5 now, so if i'll find out in season 5, don't tell me. But if it's not, what's the drawing all about?
Alpert is, to me, the most interesting character on "Lost". A theory of mine is that he came on the Black Rock and then become a lifetime guard (somewhat) to Jacob. The only reason I believe he let the fake-Locke go into the "foot" (aside from not knowing he was a fake), is because Jack told him not to give up on Locke, which seemed like an odd scene until I connected the meaning to it.
I don't wanna say too much for those who haven't seen the last series but, that picture that Locke drew looks eerily similar to what happens at the end of 'Across The Sea' doesn't it? The person on the ground is even posed in a similar way. I would like to be more specific here but I don't wanna spoil it for anyone. Those of you who've seen that episode know what I mean .

@automaticSOM I think Locke was supposed to pick three items because Richard said, "Which of these items belong to you already." The items Locke should have picked were the Compass, The Sand and The Book of Laws. When Lock picks the sand and the compass notice Richard smirks, but when he grabs the Knife Richard becomes disappointed.
The test is similar to the test they give to the Dahlia Lama.

But where does either the sand or the book of laws fit into that particular storyline?
automaticSOM 1 year ago
@automaticSOM The sand is from the island's beach and the Book Of Law represents the Laws the island has. Remember in the series, I forget which episode, Benjamin has to leave the island because he broke the laws? A Leader must abide by the laws of the island and guide his followers to safety.
This is all a theory of course.

@gottu4 Locke is dead. How can Locke kill the nemesis if he's dead and the nemesis has taken Locke's form?
bubbah 1 year ago
@bubbah Go back and watch "The life and death of Jeremy Bentham" There is a scene that gives a clue of John Locke alive and on the island wearing the suit. Now the word "SUIT" should give you a hint.

Richard was told by the MIB (through fake locke) that john was special...so Locke was never truly the leader.

I was thinking, wasn't Locke supposed to chose the compass since Richard gave him that in Season 5 when Locke was moving through time and Richard asked him to give it to himself in the 1950's when they met.

When a Dalai Lama dies, they believe his soul wanders around till he finds a pregnant mother and enters her womb and becomes the baby. When a couple of years pass, the Dalai Lama's closest friends take some of his stuff and go around house to house to look for children. If a house has a child in the home, they give the child a few of the Dalai lama's things and a few that aren't his. If the child picks the Dalai lama's thingshis friends assume that the kid is the reincarnation of the Dalai lama.

Locke pics three items that belong to him. he picks the sand, which he moves in front of him, the compass. and the knife.

I wonder what theory was Richard relying on at this time to test young Locke. He doesn't seem to know about time travel because he didn't believe the old Locke's story about how he knew him. Well even if he did how come he thinks young Locke will know something that hasn't even happened yet.
LoserUser1127 2 years ago
Holy shit I just got it! Richard wanted Locke to choose the compass. Because the compass already belonged to him. Locke gave Richard the compass in the army tent in the 50's, that's when he told him to go visit him when he's born.

I have a theory:
I reckon Richard actually wanted John to pick the compass (note his smile at 2:55), the vial (2:45) and the book of laws (3:01).
sam6066 2 years ago

This does makes sense; the adult Locke gave Richard the compass in 1954 as proof of his time-travelling, the vial contains sand from the island (so it's basically John's) and the book is sacred to the Others, who Locke later becomes the leader of.
But Richard has miscalculated here and the child Locke has only vague memories of the Island (his drawing at 1:17 shows he does have some recollection), so he just chooses the knife because it looks cool.
(I watch Lost way too much)

that test he gives lock is a ---- Tulku Lama----
"a number of objects such as rosaries, ritualistic implements, books, tea-cups, etc., are placed together, and the child must pick out those which belonged to the late tulku, thus showing that he recognizes the things which were theirs in their previous life."

What interests me even more about the test are the objects Richard placed in front of young Locke. The comic book to represent a belonging of Hurley, the mitt representing an item of Jack's as a kid, "the book of law" representing a belonging of Sayid, etc.
I also wonder if Locke DID have knives with him on the island as an adult later, why the reaction from Richard?

@Darkwolfproduction No, he didn't pick the right one. Go watch season 5. Locke gives Richard the compass in the 1950s - therefore, it belongs to Locke - and then in the 1970s Richard says that he has been to visit Locke-the-child "off island" several times.

Alpert is, to me, the most interesting character on "Lost". A theory of mine is that he came on the Black Rock and then become a lifetime guard (somewhat) to Jacob. The only reason I believe he let the fake-Locke go into the "foot" (aside from not knowing he was a fake), is because Jack told him not to give up on Locke, which seemed like an odd scene until I connected the meaning to it.
