Yeah, a little x-posty there.

Hee. The funny is, I was replying to the 'doomed' comment. Your post was just serendipity.

If they all wake up in their beds the next morning I am going to be really angry.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The SO still claims (albeit laughingly) that Locke is totally good guy.
Definitely he's manipulative -- he's the one pulling the strings for a LOT of what's happening. When major action gets taken, it's usually got Locke behind it in one way or another. Motive is another thing altogether.
When he did the whole Boone bondage thing, I was thinking that it was pretty irresponsible to leave them tied up in a jungle where there are known predators. Unless he knows the extent and potentially has control of the danger, that is. Locke knew immediately that the danger to Shannon had been imagined -- he should have known that there was a hallucination, but not perhaps what it was, and indeed not that she hadn't come to any harm -- so did he have some sort of insight/tie/control that allowed him to know that?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Absolutely. I would, however, like to see an episode in which one of the characters (perhaps with the aid of Dr. Locke's Crazy-Making Head Ointment) dream/hallucinate that they've been rescued--as long as it's a brief flash, and not a whole episode.
At some point, I'd also like at least one of the characters to freak out about their family thinking they're dead, worry about who's feeding the cat, etc.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
This is how things transpired in my head...
Locke and Boone had been going out to the jungle by themselves for how long...a week? They had spent roughly 8 hours a day together for 7-8 days. During that time, I'm sure they talked about a helluva lot and I'm fairly sure Shannon came up A LOT. Locke probably recognized that there were the foundations of an unhealthy relationship, but of course he didn't know about the stepcest.
So after Boone kept pushing to tell Shannon their secret, Locke decided he needed to "free" Boone - for his own good.

It just occured to me that it makes sense that Sun would be the one getting on with life and preparing to be on the island forever andnot worried about teh rest of the world - she was getting ready to disappear out of her old life anyway (until Jin got all charming at the airport and she couldn't leave him). She was mentally prepared for everyone (her father, etc) thinking she was dead or kidnapped or something.

I think this is what all the staring into the ocean/fire is supposed to be assumed to be.
Ooh, this is also a good point about Sun. I wonder what happened with all the plans-to-be.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
It just seems like a weird thing to say to me after Jack saved his life in a much more immediate way more recently.
Yeah, that sort of amused me, because he was rhapsodizing to *Jack*, who had saved his life *twice*, including charging back into the teeth (or rotors, or id-manifesting tentacles...) of Lostzilla to do so.
