'Henry' and the Lockdown

Anyone else find it odd that the lockdown happens and because of that 'Henry' gets promised protection from Locke?

Personally, I think that if Henry' is actually working for Dharma, then the lockdown was scheduled for when he and Locke were alone. Because 'Henry' seemed to rattle off the numbers rather quickly for having heard them only once. I don't know... maybe he just has a good memory, but in a crisis like that, my memory would cease to exist at all. What I'm trying to say is that the lockdown was not 'random', as Locke proposed. 'Henry' was somehow behind it all.

Did that make any sense at all, or was I just rambling?

I kinda agree except...Jack would have been there if not sidetracked by the poker game...if Mr. Murphy could arrange that, then he's REAL good!

Just tossing this out there for speculation... Maybe this is all 1984-like and there are tiny cameras everywhere watching what everyone does. So when Jack left the hatch and looked to be distracted for a good couple of hours, Dharma knew to initiate the lockdown.

And just out of curiosity, why is the name 'Mr. Murphy' being used? I am confused... not that that's unusual or anything...

It's the name he said to Sayid was his dead wife's...Jennifer Murphy.

well, we know he's just a big stinking liar!!! ha ha
