Yeah, in the Cleolinda discussion, some speculation was that the kid was Boone.

With Locke, it's reasonable to presume he would've begun receiving physical therapy after a certain period of time, which would've begun to reverse any atrophy occuring.
My dad underwent physical therapy for many years for left side paralysis. I don't know that his results would be universal, but even with full use of his right leg allowing him to walk he suffered considerable muscle atrophy in his left leg. This despite several therapy sessions a week. PT could slow the rate of atrophy and maintain some function, but after the first few months if his paralysis had been miraculously cured he'd still have been limited to a shuffling very slowly and keeping most of his weight on the good leg until exercise let him build the muscles back.
I don't see a way around Locke being physically healed if we take the 4 years in a wheelchair as a given.

An interesting NYTimes interview with Terry O'Quinn.
Ambiguity is power, potentially, for an actor - and the power has come as a revelation to Mr. O'Quinn. "That's the gift that they've given me on this set - the time to explore the depth. Some actors get it when they're 12; they feel strong enough. But some of us feel, as functionaries, that we don't really have the power. We're not important enough on a set, or to throw our weight behind something, because we don't feel we have the weight. That's terrible. I let myself be that way for way too long in my career."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
What sumi said - exactly.
Although I don't know what exactly Fury will bring to the party on 24. Maybe I should pray they let him work on some of the sub-plots - that could only lead to an improvement.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's a blow to Lost. Fury's been their best writer. But go Tim with the stealing!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Huh.
I dunno that's the best move for Fury. Hope it works out for him, but we'll miss him on Lost for sure.
