I suppose that is possible. However the question than becomes....why? Why would he fake his death and how did he even know Locke would throw him into the field to fake it?

Which brings me to another point. Right before EPG was thrown into the barrier by Locke he was about to say "The John Locke I knew was a para..."

Everyone focused on what he didn't say....paraplegic. The focus should have been on what he did say though...."The John Locke I knew..."

In other words, this guy already knew John. How did he already know him? Perhaps in a previous life?

Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome episode. Awesome.

Just brilliantly constructed. From the parallel to Sawyer's back story (being convinced he's been given the info and opportunity to kill someone he wants to kill only to find out that he was led on for his informants own purposes...with, of course, the extra twist at the end) to the perfectly executed ambiguity of who exactly Locke had tied up.

The moment Locke uttered "No one can hear you," I instantly thought, "Okay, they want us to think it's his dad, but it's going to turn out to be Ben." I rolled my eyes at that. But then they showed their hand early with Locke saying it was Ben. THEN I got interested, because now I could see it going either way. Was John really going to make Sawyer relive his sin to the letter? "It's Ben, kill him! Psych, it was my dad!" Did he really have Ben? Or will we find out that the John's-Dad-is-Tom-Sawyer theory is true and the Ben story was just because Sawyer wouldn't have believed it any other way.

As it got closer it got more obvious, already having the better than sneaking suspicion that Tom Sawyer and Locke's dad were one and the same. But it was still pulled off well enough that until that hood came of, some doubt remained.

So, what do you think, does that count for John? Having him killed rather than killing him himself? Will the island accept that as his sacrifice?

Excellent freaking episode... So into the show again....

Someone needs to shoot Kate. What a useless waste of oxygen.

Sayid is still the only person on the island with a brain.

Kate sucks. But Evangeline is hot, so I'll let her live. Sayid flat out rules. Locke. I love Locke. I think he gets it better than anyone. Do what needs to be done. Do your best to do right by those who do right by you, but don't let sentimentality, assumptions, or loyalty cloud you from finding answers.

He just needs to stop being so bloody gullible and boneheaded.

Perhaps. But I think he's on to something. I think he's decided that he knows he's being lead on, but he doesn't care. If it means getting more info, even at the cost of getting "suckered", it's worth it.

Another eloquent DITTO.

What GD said, plus.....

I love Sayiid. LOVE! Every time he gets involved, I sit up and pay extra attention. His character is just fantastic.
