Just as I suspected, Locke is turning out to be the most interesting character on this thing.  It wasn't until that episode when he gave Boone his vision that I realized the position Locke occupies in this little society.  He's the priest, the shaman.  Quite archetypal.  A wounded man who has visions, sees what no one else does, has a special connection to the land and the spirits that dwell there.  Very interesting.  I bet he elects to stay on the island, maybe with Walt, who looks like a little shaman-in-training to me.
Looking forward to where this is headed.
