Cordelia ,'End of Days'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
If Rousseau was an hallucination, where did the maps come from?
Does anybody think he knew that the hatch was in the forest when he told Boone to go back to camp?
If we assume that Locke is in cahoots with Ethan, then that's a fair assumption to make. I don't, though. I think Locke's got a plan all his own.
Also, does anyone have any theories as to the significance of the compass?
Aww, my computer ate my post.
But, if we do get into a 'The Stand' scenario, what are the teams looking like?
Team Randall Flagg (bad guys): Locke, Walt, Boone, Charlie. (The last would break my heart, but seems inevitable.)
Team Mother Abigail (good guys): Jack, Sayid, Michael, Sun, Hurley, Shannon, Kate, Sawyer. (Kate and Sawyer not being your traditional 'good', but who here is? I don't see either of them falling under the thrall of whatever this thing is. Also, while both of them have dirty pasts, I think they like the idea of being one of the cool kids.)
Wild Cards: Claire, Jin.
To balance things out, at least another somebody will have to go over to the dark side.
Why is Locke's side bad?

Locke will magically learn Korean, thus getting in good with Jin, who will discover that Sun speaks English and join the other team.
Also, Sayid could likely go dark. You're right about Kate and Sawyer; as much as either one might work on Locke's side, they're antiheroes, not villains. I know many would love if Hurley went dark, and it would definitely be a hell of a twist, but I don't see the seeds of that yet. It could happen, though, if he starts feeling really unappreciated and stuff...except we already know Locke creeps him out.
Why is Locke's side bad?
Cause he hits people on the head and ties them up in the forest. Of course, Jack and Sayid tied Sawyer up and tortured him. So.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about this either. Why shouldn't we agree with Charlie's assertion that Locke's the most likely person to save them all?

Well, yeah, but Jack and Sayid tied Sawyer up and tortured him because he seemed to be withholding from a suffering person the medications that belonged to her in the first place, and when lines were crossed and things got creeptastic and torturiffic, Sayid felt very obviously like shit and had to go off and be away from the humans for a bout of soul-searching, and even Jack seemed none too pleased with himself. Plus, the whole tie-up-and-torture plan was suggested by Lock in the first place, IIRC.
Whereas Locke, when Boone leapt on him all crazy with grief and OMGWTF YOU CLOCKED ME UPSIDE THE HEAD AND THE TYING UP AND THE KNIFE AND THE CHEWED-UP NOT!SISTER OMGWTF, smiled benevolently like a cat beaming at the wounded mouse it's been toying with and said, "Why, yes. Yes, indeed, that was me, and wasn't it good of me?"
IMO, Locke is the Mayor of Crazytown, Emperor of Crazyonia, and also his side is bad.
Why is Locke's side bad?
This is a good point. To me, thus far, they at least seem more interesting. I was just running with the Locke=Randall Flagg analogy. The exploration into who is good and who is bad (or if there even is such a thing) would likely wait until the lines were more clearly drawn, I'd think.
But, if whatever Locke is tapped into is the same faction involved with Charlie's hanging and Claire's kidnapping, I wouldn't feel wrong about calling it bad.

Ahahaha. Yes. I mean, "Why do you care about [Shannon] so much?"
How about, "BECAUSE SHE'S HIS FUCKING SISTER, YOU PSYCHO."

But how do we know that the two are on the same side? What if, while Locke is working with the island, Ethan and 'the others' are working against it?
"BECAUSE SHE'S HIS FUCKING SISTER, YOU PSYCHO."Aye, and of course, there's the rub.
