Could Locke's dad be the same con man that screwed over Sawyer's family life?

Could Locke's dad be the same con man that screwed over Sawyer's family life?

Maybe.

...just let Sawyer get his hands on this guy.

Assuming he was "Tom," back in the day. He is a likely candidate, along with the member of the Others actually named Tom. But it would serve to create an odd triangle connection between the three men.

Yep, I am saying it, he has come home!

That is the best theory I've heard so far and not something I thought of, and I can't think of a reason to dismiss it. Heh. Maybe they are half brothers or something.

Overall, I didn't find it a very enjoyable episode - continued proof that Others = "teh suck".

However, Locke unquestionably had the best lines of the episode, and a lot of them. When he was talking to Ben, I was pretty much screaming (in my head ) "You tell him, Locke!"

But loads of stupidity abounds - Locke's dad is just conveniently on the island? All tied up ready for presentation to Locke, who shouldn't have even made it to the Others' base? I know we all draw the line about plausibility somewhere, and that some people are more accepting than others, but my suspension of disbelief crumbled at that moment. There's a point where drama ends and stupidity begins, and that was my personal point (not saying it would be for anyone else). And that "magic box" statement from Ben was just... dumb. WTF is that all about? In any case, Locke still had the good come-back: "Hope it's big enough to get you another submarine."

Finally, Jack 'shootin' the ' with the Others while waiting for his ride also strained any credibility the writers have, considering Jack and the Losties' past experiences. Not. Fricken'. Likely.

The Others continue to suck the life from this show. Mythology = good, Others = bad.

I sill hate Benry and hope terrible things happen to him.

Word.

I enjoyed it. I figure they'll provide a plausible explanation for all the implausible things that happened this episode.

 

[Mark CMG]

He didn't need to be wet to blow up the sub. I think he found a way to submerge it and set off the explosion to make the Others believe he blew it up.

Am I the only one that thinks Locke is a selfish SOB? Part of does sympathize with him, but a bigger part of me is like DUDE WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

Again he goes off to do his own thing and Kate and Sayid get captured. He goes and blows up possibly the only way off the island, trapping all the other survivors there, just because he is scared to go back to the real world. If they can't find another way off this island or Sayid, Kate, and Jack cover for him. The others survivors will tear him apart when they find out.

 

[Wycen]

I doubt the other survivors will ever realize how close they were or weren't to escape, but I do wonder, like Mark, why Locke was wet.

Nope, I group him with Sawyer.

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

...Locke's dad is just conveniently on the island?

We are supposed to believe they went and kidnapped him, to give to Locke as a bribe, before Locke sank the sub.

And the stuff about the box i took to be a metaphor, but I don't know what for.
