According to one of the writers on the show a book that is seen on the shelf in the hatch, The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brian. Supposedly this has some ties to what is going on on the island.

Locke's legs

Now, this doesn't really have much to do with the new developments on episode 3, but I thought I would mention it anyway. As you all know the island has some sort of magnetic enigma (possibly related (or not) to the average length of the rotational period of the sun (108 divided by 4 = 27) hinted at by the 108 being at he center of the sun drawn on the wall inside the hatch (as mentioned at egoplex).) What if the magnetism of the island helped Locke regain the use of his legs? If Locke was in an accident that shattered bones in his body, doctors would have likely used metal pins and screws to help his bones heal properly. Magnetism has been known to increase circulation in the body (red blood cells contain iron, and thus are affected by magnetism.) Maybe the magnetism of the island helped increase the blood circulation to his legs so that he was able to heal. The affects are not permanent though. The suns influence on Earth changes as it rotates. Could it be that Locke's sudden loss of feeling and use of his legs were related to this cycle?

Maybe that's why they had so much playing golf--the magnetism improved their game. Golfers seem to have this superstitious belief that wearing magnetic bracelets help their game.

I would think that a magenetic field making Locke's legs work again wouldn't have been as abrupt a process as happened on the show. It had been 4 years apparently since he had walked. He woke up on the beach, wiggled his toes, got up and walked off. Barring some kind of mystical deal I can't see that happening due to simple healing.

funny thought

I think it's kind of funny that 2 people that were paralyzed (sarah and locke) werre able to walk again when desmond and jack were in the same area.

This was discussed last season, Jack seem to keep people alive too, the marshall and Boone he had to give up on, so his will may be all it takes.

We know that someone considers the baby and Walt to be special children....who's to say that Jack isn't similar?

Haven't we established this is a Fan site, Not affiliated with Disney or ABC?

In my mind it is, from my research last week.

Jack's father told Sawyer in the bar that Jack was "special", much the same way Locke's mother called him "special" and so we look at the contrast between the two and we can use the word juxtaposition because it is used as a reseach being performed as part of the island!

I'm special too dammit!
