That just stood out to me that one again Locke feels he is doing the right thing or following his hunches and ends badly twice..

I think this is an important thing to take note of. John Locke is easily manipulated. His father manipulated him over and over again. He joined a cultlike commune and was easily manipulated into protecting them and thinking of them like family. He was used by the undercover agent to infiltrate the group because his file indicated he would be easy to manipulate. He was manipulated to keep typing in the numbers because he thought it would save the world....yet Ben planted the seed of doubt that caused him to stop entering the numbers. Now, co-ordinates on a scripture stick and a chess game
later he destroys the second hatch. Just like the pawns in a chess game, Locke can be used for good or bad.......
