The universe isn't telling him to get fixed. It's telling him some much bigger things.
I agree.
Sadly, if Locke does let go, he leaves the "reality" where he's about to get married to go to one where he is dead. Who wants to do that?
Clearly Desmond needs to come to my house to help me "let go" too.
Heh
I wondered whether Jack's repeated injuries, echoing what's going on in Island reality, suggest that nothing in the Sideways reality is real.
Where
is
that neck injury coming from? Have we seen him get cut on the Island?

Oh, but I want them to get their happy endings! Even Jack, who seems on track with his kid and everything! And Sun and Jin are all alive and baby-ful, and Locke is happy and going to marry Helen, and Ben is apparently going to hook up with Rousseau and be stepdad to Alex (that's not a spoiler; just my speculation), and and and!
I continue to be impressed with Terry O'Quinn's and Michael Emerson's acting chops.

"Did you say there were more people to kill?"
OH BEN.
"Did you say there were more people to kill?"
"You DON'T get to save your daughter."
"Hi. Do you want some lemonade?"
"Hi. Do you want some lemonade?"
I expected Smokey Locke to say yes, honestly.

Just as I would watch an alternaverse Miles-and-Sawyer buddy cop spinoff, I would totally watch a Ben and Locke -- from EITHER universe -- spinoff.
Oh, but I want them to get their happy endings!
I do, too!
I just figure I won't get what I want.
Honestly, I gave up hope of anyone being happy and that any of my questions will be answered by the end of the series.
Literally, there is not one question I expect or want to be answered at this point and I'm going to assume that everybody dies.
I think I might enjoy the finale better if I go in with no expectations. That sure helped with Kickass.
Ha ha ha. I think you're right, le nubian. I couldn't really think of any Questions I need Answered either, since most of the big ones seem to be as answered as they're going to be. The only really big one—"What's up with the Sideways world??"—is one I'm pretty confident WILL be addressed in the finale, because they kinda have to. As for everyone dying...I try not to think about that. I'm sure we have at least one or two more deaths in the future because that's how
Lost
rolls, but they always say the show is about these
characters,
so they have to leave some of them alive for the final, poignant, musical montage.
