Lost is back!

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I'm wondering why Locke would have to move the island to leave it? Plenty of people have left the island by various means. Richard presumably lives on the island, but has visited Locke as a child, etc. And I'm assuming he isn't ageless. I assume that Richard moves through time and space, and seemingly has more control over doing so than Desmond had. Maybe Locke learned the trick...

And, for fun, Jeremy Bentham.

Ben had told Locke right before he went into the ice box that once he (Ben) moves the island, he could never go back to the island. Hence, making Locke the new Grand Poobah of the Others.

I think you're misunderstanding me, love. There is more than one way to leave the island. There has been an assumption circulating online that Locke also had to move the island, otherwise how could have left the island. But Richard has left the island. Others have left. My guess is they control moving through time and space, hence why Richard seems to be ageless....

I also assume that Locke learned the trick. And when he realized the island was in peril because some of the survivors, etc., left, he too left the island to find them and bring them back.

I see I see! Well.. I also saw a hot, wet, shirtless Sawyer coming out of the water. I was a happy camper.

Note "John Locke" in his "influence by" list.

No one's dead and everyone is dead. Nothing stays buried for long on this island.

Red herrings, much the same way that multiple cast members of "Dallas" were filmed shooting J.R., in order to keep the real shooter's identity a secret.

That and:

As requested in his will, his (Jeremy Bentham's) body was preserved and stored in a wooden cabinet, termed his "Auto-icon". Originally kept by his disciple Dr. Southwood Smith,[11] it was acquired by University College London in 1850. The Auto-icon is kept on public display at the end of the South Cloisters in the main building of the College. For the 100th and 150th anniversaries of the college, the Auto-icon was brought to the meeting of the College Council, where he was listed as "present but not voting".[12] Tradition holds that if the council's vote on any motion is tied, the auto-icon always breaks the tie by voting in favour of the motion.

The Auto-icon has always had a wax head, as Bentham's head was badly damaged in the preservation process. The real head was displayed in the same case for many years, but became the target of repeated student pranks including being stolen on more than one occasion. It is now locked away securely.

Maybe they need Locke to break a tie vote?

I wonder if his head is wax. Looked kind of weird to me.

Part 1 of the 3 hour finale was shown again before parts 2 & 3 with an extended press conference. In the extra footage we learn the identity of the other 3 (of the 8 who made it off the plane in Jack's fabricated story).

Boone died of massive internal injuries soon after making it to the island. Libby died a few weeks later (no explanation of how). Charlie drowned a few weeks before their rescue.

So the math works out now. 8 plane survivors - 3 dead + Aaron = Oceanic 6.

That's relief.........I keep having this feeling that the writers don't know what they are doing or where they are going so my first instinct when I see something like this is to think along those lines.....I so hope I am wrong with my suspicions.
