The Importance of Being Shot Don't think even for a moment that Locke's going to die. Alright, he's been shot in the stomach - perhaps even his one remaining kidney - and left for dead in a deep, open grave full of smelly skeletons in the middle of the "jungle of death", miles from anyone who could help. This, remember is a man who killed a polar bear with a bottle of hairspray. In the dark. A man who out-conned a conman. A man who fell eight stories from a building and broke his spine, and survived. A man who survived a plane crash, with the very same broken spine, and miraculously healed himself before the rest of the survivors had even got over their hair being all messed up. A man who even an invisible man asks for help. So you see, there's really no doubt that John Locke will live to kick another arse.




It's always a great pleasure to see Locke and Ben confronting each other because they're the two best characters on 'Lost'. I have the sneaking suspicion that John may end up killing Ben. That would be a shame, but inevitable, and part of John's destiny. Remember, John's destiny matters more than anyone else's.

What are we to make of the un-appearance of Jacob? It was a classic piece of 'Lost' headfucking. "OK then, we'll tell you all the answers by introducing a new character who's the real leader of the others. He lives in a cabin out in the jungle, come on.... Ha ha! He's invisible!" But apparently, he might not be. Go here to see some slow-mo revelation. It's obvious to me that anyone who's intelligent enough to ask for Locke's help within one minute of meeting him knows what's what. Hi, Jacob.
