That totally makes sense, I never thought it through to that conclusion, especially the part about the Island (or whatever ) stopping him from going into the plane to save him , I must admit I am not a fan of Locke and for some reason look the other direction concerning him . Sort of like he is the catalyst for a lot of the bad things that happen as well as the good . You know the black and white , good and evil thing , Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde ... , anyway , Thanks , and I will try to be more open minded when it comes to Locke ....
