I don't think Locke is dead.  I thought the Russian guy was dead and look where that got me - but being in a huge pit of bodies is disgusting!  I am honestly shocked that everyone in the Dharma Initiative was murdered!  Roger "work man" was his dad.. wow so many weird things in yesterday's episode it's kind of hard to mesh it with the show (it was almost too weird, even for LOST).

 

Sure Ben could just be crazy - we didn't hear Jacob's voice until his back was turned... or course Jacob could also be real (in a way) -  perhaps this some reference to Jacob's ladder (path to heaven)?

 

In fact, I wonder if Jacob is the black smoke or "eye of the Island" we've been seeing around...

 

Curious what anyone's thoughts are on this... Ben's mom dies giving birth... now, on the Island, all moms die giving birth - I wonder if it isn't actually Ben's negative energy killing people without him consciously knowing it.

 

And the people we've been seeing as the others are actually the hostiles... who were there before the Dharma project - but had weapons... saw dead people... and wanted to kill everyone else.

 

Honestly - I wish Jack had killed Ben when he had the chance but I who knows with LOST now.

 

Maybe we'll all get lucky and Charlie will finally die (Desmond says he's due) - cause I can't imagine that is it for Locke - dead on a pile of old bones in a mass grave.

 

Maybe Rouseau will find him?
