[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 1806068, member: 149"] With regards to the "Wish Fullfillment/Leaving the Island" aspect of things. I can see a fair number of characters, in their heart of hearts NOT wanting to leave the island. As pointed out Lock is getting to live out his fantasy. Kate as a criminal with a reward on her head has a strong incentive for not going back. Perhaps the kid, doesn't want to go back to america. The korean couple, especially if they are North Korean could have LOTS of reasons to not want to go back there. The bickering, to be married, couple might not want to go back, because neither of them is sure they really want to get married which they would probably be forced into if they do get back. That's all I can think of off hand at the moment, but you get the idea. I do like the idea of them being dead/in some sort of midway zone. It could explain the creature as well. The creature could be yanking people out of the "dead zone" and back into life and or that being "killed" on the island actually means you've returned to life. Since Locke wants to be there very much the creature might not have been able to force him back. It could also explain the spontanious healing, since if you are dead there's no reason why real world wounds should/would persist, especially if the will to over come them is strong enough. Another example might be the pregnant woman, her baby could have survived her death. Thus seeming dead on the island, but eventually died and thus came back to life on the island. Bringing the island food, theory into things as well, according to greek mythology if you ate food from the land of the dead then you had to remain there. Which if tied into the real wounds not being present in the dead zone of the island might also explain why eating native food seemed to be linked to some of the spontanious healing, like the pregnant woman's baby.
