Interesting literature speculation in Tim Goodman's blog's comments (riffing off the Kurtz reference):

Let me answer my own question. Digging back into my English lit stuff this other Conrad novel jumps out at me:
"Lord Jim": About a ship thought lost at sea with all souls but later found and the scandal that arises from the crew having abandoned the passengers. The narrator of Lord Jim, a man named Marlow, also is the main character in "Heart of Darkness". So I expect a character named "Marlow" to show up any time now.
Also although Sawyer called Locke Kurtz the description might better fit Ben.
In the novel Kurtz refuses to leave and is "king" to the people of the settlement but not from the settlement. Ben is a Dharma person who betray the Dharma initiative and became leader of the others.
"Man, this onion just keeps getting larger!"
The underwater wreckage was in pieces but it looked like an entire plane - cockpit, tail, bits in between. Which means it's fake or some other plane.
I'm thinking there may be different values of "scientific explanation" at play.
I just checked that scientific explanation thing out, and the exact quote the showrunners used was 'pseudo-science'.
Which is probably what psychic detectives refer to themselves as.
People who investigate the paranormal are sometimes referred to as
parapsychologists.

So, the ghosts need therapy?
Well, when so many people don't believe you exist, it can do things to you. You know?
Oh, silly question.
I'm still watching Lost. That's about all I got. I like Locke again and that is good.
I like Locke from a character point of view, but I've no idea why any of the survivors would be following him.

*BAP* back at you. Any theories on who the other Oceanic 6 are? I I get the sense from the flashforward bits that Jack, Kate and Hurley are feeling a bit guilty about how they got off the island and/or who they left behind. The one in particular danger if left behind is Sun -- she's pregnant and thus unlikely to survive the pregnancy on the island. I keep going back and forth in my head as to whether that means they got her off the island with them or not.
