LOVE Locke. When Batmanuel gave Locke the compass and told Locke to give it to him the next time they met, was that referring the flashback when Batmanuel went to child!Locke's house with some story about "gifted children," and laid out a bunch of objects that Locke had to pick from (I can't even remember why anymore), and when child!Locke picked the compass, it creeped Batmanuel out so much that he left? [WAS that child!Locke in the flashback?]
I just want to note that child!Locke didn't pick the compass; he picked the knife, so Batmanuel went away disappointed, but yeah, that's where the compass is coming from.
Ah! Now the scene is perfectly clear again. Thanks Cindy.
I want to remember all the stuff from the previous seasons, but not enough to actually rewatch the episodes.
Me too, Laura. If I could do that thing Willow did with the books, it would be great.
no shit. that would change my life!
I don't really have the time to build a penis temple, though.

Huh? But according to the TWoP recap for that episode:
Lil' Locke picks the vial of sand and the compass, both of which seem to please Richard. And then he picks the knife. Richard asks him if he's sure about the knife. He is. Richard looks profoundly disappointed, snatches the knife out of Lil' Locke's hand, and packs up the rest of the items.
IIRC, Locke picks
up
the vial of sand and the compass, but then
chooses
the knife.

If there is a better first post to see in the morning before coffee, I don't know what it is.
Sorry, Ash (or possibly...you're welcome).

I'm huhing your huh.
OH, wait. So in the episode, Locke was supposed to pick thingS, not thing, and he picked the compass, the sand, and then the knife -- when Richard was perhaps waiting for a different third, or something? Is that what you mean, P-C. You're probably right. It's been a long time since I watched the episode. I was thinking Locke only picked one thing, and I remember Richard seemed disappointed when he went with the knife.
