Didn't, in the preview of this epi...didn't Locke say, "Why, I did everything you asked me to."?

Does anyone have the exact quote?

If so, what are your speculations on this quote?

That was the last scene of Deus Ex Machinima, not the preview...

Oh, I thought so, but I looked at the script on this site that has the LOST transcripts and it was not there...so, what did he say?

He said, "I did everything you wanted me to. Why did you do this to me.

What do you think that he is referring to? Boone? His legs? The hatch not opening?

All three I think.

I wonder why the island would ask Locke to sacrifice Boone? hmmm...so many mysteries!

Yes and two more weeks untill we find anything out. >:(

I know, these breaks are stupid...I hope that JJ does not do this next year. I wonder if they are coming back to SD to do the geek fest? "Comic Con" Maybe I will actually get the courage to ask Dom out for a drink this time!

I really have no idea what he meant, although I did hear that. Im trying to think, but cant come up with anything......who knows?

I don't think Locke sacrificed him.
I do however think that he didn't bother to stop Boone from getting hurt.
He knew something was going to happen to him, I'm not sure he knew he
was going to die, but still..he shoulda put two and two together when they saw
the plane "dangling" in the trees above the cliff.
S~

i have the exact quote for my personal quote

I don't think that Locke sacrificed Boone. I think it was just an accident. But you never know...

Neither do I.

Panthers14 that is not the exact quote, but close to it. The correct one is below and has been confirmed by Terry O'Quinn himself:

"I've done everything you wanted me to. So why did you do this... to me!"

"I've done everything you wanted me to. So why did you do this... to me!" Ouch! That does not seem to show much sympathy for Boone being injured, it shows more of a self centered "why is does everything always happen to me" outlook. To me that would be further evidence of Locke being in the middle of a mental breakdown, since he normally does show concern for others.* Note: I chose the words "Boone being injured" above, not Boone being dead, as Locke did not know Boone was dead when he said that.

Locke seems to be slipping into animism with his personification of the island.*

I beleive that is pretty true. I could say more if I knew what the heck animism means. Fogey could you please tell me. ???

Main Entry: an·i·mism
Pronunciation: 'a-n&-"mi-z&m
Function: noun
Etymology: German Animismus, from Latin anima soul
1 : a doctrine that the vital principle of organic development is immaterial spirit
2 : attribution of conscious life to objects in and phenomena of nature or to inanimate objects
3 : belief in the existence of spirits separable from bodies


I had #2 mainly in mind with my post. It looks like Locke thinks the island has a life of it's own and can have an effect on events.

Yes he never calls the island it. I think it's interesting how he thinks the island is alive. Sense he has seen into the eye of the island he probably has a good reason I just don't know what.

Well i felt the end was just him showing his anger and how he was going to give up. After all he had the dream, all the stuff happened, and since he's a man of faith he was so downhearted when the plane didn't help him get into the hatch. Then as the light came on his faith was restored in the island, and he was ready to continue.

I can't wait for Locke to reveal how the island is speaking to him and what it has told him, or if it is whispers he hears and the others talking to him

My wife has a theory that the heretofore invisible beast is an evil that has supernatural powers and can exert brainwashing and/or mind control on humans and animals to do its bidding. She believes that the Others have been indoctrinated by it and that Locke has seen it and made a deal with it after receiving his legs back. She believes that Walt has become one of the Others, and I think Walt is trying to fight it. This is why I think Locke says what he said in the episode and why he talks as if the island is alive. I think he has an idea that the beast is the central all-powerful being on the island and in many ways is ONE with the island. My wife also thinks that the beast requires worship from the Others.
