SABATHIUS.. I think you did hit on something with that awesome picture. Not that the island is the Matrix, but there is a correlation. Locke believes, and just like Neo from the Matrix having to believe he was the One, Locke had to be reminded from Walt that he is one of Jacobs/the island favorites. Trust me, I'm not saying they are hooked up Matrix style, but the fact that Locke shows time and time again, when he believes and puts his whole person to a task, he gets it done, no matter what. I think Ben has been losing faith, and that has caused him the pain of a tumor, and uncertainty among his fellows.

And Benmer, thanks a lot, that was supposed to be a secret. Most people won't have my bionic abilities for years. And it's not Bluetooth, because my religion is against toothbrushes, I actually use Yellowtooth technology. But it's becoming Greentooth slowly.
