His name is John Locke, and...
...oh my good Lord. This week's episode, entitled "Eggtown" features one of the most stunningly, orgasmically cool Lockean moments ever captured on camera. It goes like this:
Locke, prison warden to Ben (about whom we care marginally because he's a super actor playing a super actor) and Miles (about whom we care not a bean beyond his value as a significant plot device) goes to introduce himself to this Miles chap. This is Miles:
Hungry, Miles?
"I realise that when I tied you up in here the other day, I made the mistake of failing to introduce myself: my name is John Locke, and I'm responsible for the wellbeing of this island...I learned something yesterday - no use having rules if there's no punishment for breaking them. You'll be fine if you bite down on the trigger. Enjoy your breakfast"...
...which is without even the briefest glimpse of a doubt's shadow, the coolest thing anyone has ever said as they shoved a grenade into another man's mouth and pulled out the pin.
John, I'm lost for words.
