Hi, everyone, delurking here. I'm a faithful lurker. I like to come read all of the discussions that y'all have about my favorite shows even if I don't post often. I just had a revelation about a possible connection and I thought that I would come share it. Please, excuse me if this as all ready been mentioned in an earlier thread. So, am I right that this was the first time that it was revealed that Locke's dad was a "professional" con-artist (and the deal with Lock wasn't just a one time thing)? Cause, thinking of him made me think of the only other "professional" con-man in our group, Sawyer. So I suddenly realized (and I'm fairly certain) that we, and presumably Sawyer, never found out who the original "Sawyer" who conned his mom and led to so much tragedy was. What if Locke's dad was the original con-man? Do you think the recent revelation of shared-daddy connections between Claire and Jack make a similar connection between Sawyer and Lock more or less likely? ok, going back to lurking now. Hi Sunset! Thanks for delurking and thanks for the delicious thought! As I was watching the episode, I had a nagging inkling running around in my head about this and then promptly forgot it before the ep was over! I think it is an EXCELLENT theory and seeing how so many other lives were intertwined unknowingly (Jack being Claire's half brother, Hurley owning Locke's place of employment, etc), quite plausible.

Coda Damn, he looks terrible. The dreaded wheelchair I don't want to hear about what you can't do. Richard. No, sir. Killing Jack would be cheating. So is Locke right? That Ben wanted him to blow up the submarine to prevent Jack from leaving? Locke wants to stay on the island to hide from his dad. I guess I'll buy that. You have some kind of communion with this island, and that makes you very, very important. You have no idea what you're talking about, of course, but in time, you'll have a better understanding of things. Room 101. The worst thing in the world?And there his dad is anyway. When Locke says, "dad?" makes me think of Syd saying "mom?" on Alias. Room 101 is the special, re-education room in "1984."

I'm way late to the party on this...but I'm curious about something:
In Hurley's first season backstory episode, he was speaking to his lawyer/accountant in a high rise building when a man was shown plummeting to the ground behind him. Was that Locke?

Goodness...I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it. It seemed so random...
Maybe they HAVE planned certain things for awhile. Interesting idea!

Was that Locke? That is a really good question! OK, folks with DVDs and so on - who can go back and check this out?
