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.
