Javi,
Hello, hello, hello. I recently read the interview where damon states that much of LOST is fashioned after, and inspired by, THE STAND. Since then I have read a few different posts claiming that Locke is modeled after Randall Flagg, who is, in King's verse - the devil. But I have yet to see anyone post thier source for this claim, and I have asked.

Can you confirm or deny that Locke is modeled after Randall Flagg? if not, was he in fact inspired by any certain character from THE STAND? Thanks in advance!

ps- I LOVED "collision" by the way. Great script!!

dunno, quite frankly, i've never read the stand. i know that damon is a major stepehn king fan, but lost is it's own animal with its own life and integrity, so even if damon was inspored by king, the direct juxtaposition or locke/randall flagg is probably not a fair/accurate one.

thanks for the question!

Cool. Thanks Javi. I was hoping to get that response actually. I really don't want Locke to be a bad guy! ;)
