Does Locke know how "LOST" he is?

Locke has come a long way. His state of mind in the tour group office, his patience after the accident, glee at walking, and friendship with Walt was taking him new places. Then Boone happened. The vision of his mother. The smoke monster. The hatch debacle with Ecko.

Then the thing with "Sawyer". Does Locke know how LOST he is? Or is he just acting defensively? I have always thought something was not right about him, but I root for him because psychologically he's had such a hard time.

Is Locke the new Others leader? Does he have a future with Rousseau? Why does the island like him so much?

*Nobody has a future with Rousseau.

*Do you know how LOST Locke is?

*Isn't better to root for him because as Ben said "At Least Someone Knows What The Hell There Doing" In other words he seems like he knows what hes talking about. So its a good reason to root for him.

Is ben really an impartial observer? Almost everything he says has a double edge.

The fact he went with Locke means that he trusts his life more with Locke then Jack. So that means Locke knows at least more then Jack does.

Ben shot Locke in the gut and left him for dead because he was jealous of the Island's favoritism for Locke. Remember his dialogue in the finale indicated that he was lying to the other Others about hearing Jacob. Locke actually heard Jacob! Obviously Ben has taken a "keep your friends close but your enemies closer" attitude, and I have absolutely no doubt that he will betray Locke down the road. Just wait for it. Don't trust Ben! I certainly would not say that he knows the right course of action or that he believes Locke is pursuing it.

A future with Rousseau? That would be weird...

yes yes yes the island favoritism for Locke is evident. And Ben is keeping secrets from the other Others about what things Ben is being helped by Jacob doing and what he has engineered to appear that way.

Why would Locke want to prevent the other Losties from leaving? He blew up the submarine. If he wanted to stay, he could just stay behind and let others carry on with their lives. Is his motive to keep company for himself. That would be very selfish. Any theories?

I have never questioned this. To me I just saw Locke doing what was best for everyone. He knows that if they leave the island that there going to regret it. And hes right.
