Didja see how Jack and Locke looked at each other and then at the open hatch? Locke said you're a man of science and I'm a man of faith. Jack said to Kate "We're going to have a Locke problem." Jack and Locke don't agree with each other. I'm thinking there will be a seperation of the tribe! It'll come down to a good vs. evil type thing like eluded to at the beginning of the season. We don't know who's who yet though. dun dun DUNNNN!
Did anyone think Hurley jiggling around the airport for 10 minutes was a bit much? I needed more CONTENT! If I wanted to see man-breasts I'd call Mike. I also think Jack, Kate and Locke would have been covered head to foot with Arzts guts and bones. Nevermind that lil spot on Jack's back. Also--WHY DIDN'T THEY INVESTIGATE THAT WHOLE THAT LOCKE ALMOST GOT PULLED DOWN?! Ugh.
yeah when Locke said "let me go, i'll be alright" that freaked me out, like he knows something! woot!
I think it's more that he's made peace the island, somehow, and since he is a man of faith he believed he'd be ok.
"we're gonna have a locke problem"
I think that's why they showed him in the airport. he felt humiliated, inferior, embarrassed, emasculated when he was in the wheelchair. Then he crash-lands on the island, and his life is 100 times better. everyone else thinks its a disaster, and hates their situation and the island, but to him its salvation from a pathetic life. They definitely wanted the viewer to be reminded of the change in his quality of life.
