Locke's coverup...

Ok, how many other people think that Locke pushed Mikhail into the fence because back in the jungle he was going to reveal something John did not want to share,when Danielle interrupted?

Any thoughts?...Thanx

yea mikhail was defiantly about to single out locke. i wonder if it was something that we know like the wheelchair....what was he saying about the list again.

He didn't really say anything about the list to Locke, but he said that he remembered Locke being a pa...then he stopped.

Yep, he was talking about him being paralyzed. I think we'll understand more of why he pushed him through in this next episode.

Oh yeah,for a while there I forgot that nobody knows he was paralyzed.

Yeah he is defenitly hidding something, maybe that he was a coward before he got to the island and was never the warrior he appears to be untill he got to the island LOL. Well at least in the previews it looks as if he is going to put a bullet in Bens forhead so it looks as if Locke will finally do something right!

well, Rose knows - they have their little "island healing" secret together, so she doesn't seem to be telling anyone. This is another minor problem I have...if I was cured of something by the island, I think I'd tell everyone, but I guess it makes for better drama by keeping secrets

I thought Danielle was conspicuously 'helpful' to shutting Patchy up as well...

John was definitely shutting Patchy up so he could tell his friends about him being paralyzed before the crash. The combined facts of his "miraculous healing" and his feelings of a connection to the island, would cause others to look more closely at his actions. It seemed he was a protector of the castaways, a food provider, a warrior from the beginning. However, we have seen his priorities switch from helping his fellow castaways to "serving" the benefactor that gave him his legs back. He had no problem with it "demanding a sacrafice"...Boone. He didn't seem too broke up when it killed Eko either. Him being healed by the island, is similar to a mobster doing you a very big favor. It expects to be repaid.

To me, Locke seems to be acting in a vengefull kind of way. Like he is placing blame on the Others for all of the problems he may have had before the island. It's almost like he is thinking that if they know so much about him at the present time, maybe could they have helped him in the past (before he was paralized and when his father conned him).

I don't know why he is going through such great lenghs to hide the secret he was confined to a wheel chair, it just seems odd to me.
