Okay, here's the DeGroot photo comparison. What do you think? To me the beard, the eyes and the shape of the nose look similar...and we're talking about 20-25 years later. It's the addition of the boat's driver that really makes me go Hmmmmm...

Check out who's driving the boat.

Well, there is a huge, huge spoiler over at IMDB that I just blundered into on this very subject. But really, don't look unless you want to KNOW who took Walt. Spoiler block, GO!

[sblock]I was looking under the IMDB entry for M.C. Gainey, the actor who played the Bearded Man who took Walt (and was most recently Rosco in the Dukes of Hazzard movie - they must have put a lot of makeup on this guy), and it says that he is credited in the next episode as Kelvin. That would be Desmond's predecessor who Des claimed was dead.[/sblock]

IMDb is by far not the best place to find spoilers for shows, since it's all fan submitted. For example, somebody posted on IMDb that Samuel L. Jackson would be playing Bernard in the first season finale as well as in the second season. It was rapidly propagated as truth until someone finally owned up that it was a hoax. So take what you read there with a grain of salt.

I don't know LightPhoenix. My BS detector's usually pretty finely tuned, and right now it's not registering a blip. I never bought that Samuel L. Jackson thing for a second, but this sounds way more plausible and adds to the mythology of the show.

The island fixed his eyes! O_O *cue dramatic music*

[fan wank]It was contact lenses or laser surgery, man![/fan wank]

I have a good feeling you won't find a Lense Crafters on the island. And he if he took them with him, did they have lenses in the earliy 80's? You can't make your pair of contacts last you 20+ years.

That is one possibility that I had not thought of. If it fixed Locke's legs, Eyes should be no problem at all.
