Interviews with Lance Reddick (Abaddon)
I had posted these two brief interviews with Lance Reddick earlier, but I was unable to incorporate them into the “Abaddon/Lance Reddick” category index. So I’m reposting them here for the sake of completeness for anyone who is reading through that category.
Both interviews were released before “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham” aired.
The relevant segment on the first interview starts at 1:03:
The second video has been removed from YouTube, but you can see it at this link. It’s worth watching — it’s only about a minute long, but quite revealing.
As for the character of Abaddon — after all this time that I was so eagerly awaiting his return, I’m disappointed that he got killed off so quickly. I know this show has a habit of abruptly killing off some of its best characters — but they didn’t give this one much air time.
I wonder if Reddick was too busy with Fringe to do more than the one episode of LOST this year, and if that was why the producers got rid of the character. The second interview above seems to suggest that might be the case.
Or perhaps Abaddon might still come back as one of the un-dead, or as one of the pre-dead in a flashback or time jump. With LOST, you never know.
