not a purgatory theory

[ZoraJ1121]

i don't think anyone's put up this theory yet:

I think that Locke is dead.

But *just* Locke. And that he's a ghost. Everyone else is alive, except for him. Think about it.

He seems to know more about what's going on on the island than everyone else-- he knew about the light and dark thing before Jack found those pebbles in the cave-- and was talking to Walt about it using a backgammon set.

He faced down the monster and lived.

He has this guru like quality about him-- Hurley said that Jack had a Jedi moment-- Locke is like Yoda compared to that.

He got up from the plane crash and walked. I think that Locke died and his spirit is wandering the island because he's got a purpose there-- he's supposed to help people on the island (like Charlie's drug addiction thing)

He's in Claire's dream and as far as I know Claire and Locke have never had any interaction. In her dream, he is a supernatural figure, doling out advice (just like in real life).

Anyway, sorry if someone's already thought of this.

Here are two threads that discussed this:

Locke dead? (http://p073.ezboard.com/flosttheunofficalforumfortheabcseriesfrm29.showMes sage?topicID=298.topic)

Locke is a robot (http://p073.ezboard.com/flosttheunofficalforumfortheabcseriesfrm29.showMes sage?topicID=312.topic)

See what you think!

I'll stop beating the Watership Down theory drum in here if you all want me too, but I do believe that there is more to it than meets the eye. There was a scene in the movie Watership Down (I still haven't read the book) where the rabbits get caught out in the open by a fox. The strong, resourceful, brave rabbit, BigWig, runs off to draw the fox off. He disappears unseen over a hillside with the fox chasing, a noise of panic or pain is heard. Then BigWig reappears but no fox is chasing him. The others are astounded, they were certain they heard him cry out, but he offers some lame explanation. He says, “I just stopped, to get ready to run”. Then he says, that he met some others and they wanted him to stay but he pushed them out of the way and kept going. He thinks the fox got them instead. It’s very vague, but the thing is, it happens so quickly. It’s a meant to make the audience say, there wasn’t enough time for all that to happen, so therefore he’s not being truthful. This scene made me think a little of Charlie when he was running with Kate and jack from the cockpit in the first episode. It made me think of Locke a lot when he went on his first hunt with Kate and I believe Michael. Maybe Locke came in contact with somebody or something who tested him with the stones, or as they are called in Watership Down, Bob-stones. Either way, both characters in lost and the character in WS went up against a something that should have killed them, but yet they all survived, unscathed and a little vague and mysterious about their encounters. One more note of mention. The author of WS, Richard Adams writes in his Acknowledgments, “I am indebted, for knowledge of rabbits and their ways, to Mr. R.M. Lockely’s remarkable book, the Secret Life of the Rabbit.” –JoePa

So, if they are all dead, then it must be a coincidence that....

oh, sorry, I see now that this is not a purgatory thread.
