Sorry, took me a while to finish reading all those posts, and get the inflatbales stowed upright and back in the closet.
Good episode last night, hard to tell what we'll get out of the future though. I'm glad that somebody else noticed that Locke seems to be getting a little out of hand lately. He's not the same "island loving" guy he used to be. And when was it that Jack mentioned having a "Locke Problem?" It seems that may be about to happen.
Charlie's also taking a major character shift. In the last few episodes he's lost everything that was keeping him sane on the island. He lost his girl, baby, and heroin. Of course, Charlie wasn't using, but he had the comfort that it was there in case he needed it. But he's lost that now as well, which reminds me of another major character in a movie that turned to the dark side when he lost everything he cared about.
These characters are taking major actions very easily lately, this is going to boil over soon.
