Presumably it was, yes.

The more i think about it, the less i think its biblical, the more i think its fate and chance...

I really wanna know the importance of Jack's grandfathers shoes and Lockes compass though... the final series is gonna be awesome but Jacks Grandfather deffo has more to play in this... as does Desmond

[Mikz]

as does Richard

I'm gonna try and keep this brief so I don't go on for pages

Here's a very brief summary of what I think in response to what people here have said:

1) Locke's compass was another example of making us think Locke was chosen by Richard when in fact he gave the compass to Richard in the first place. It's the time loop paradox, like when he told Richard to get the bullet from his leg.

2) The Jacob/brother thing. Obviously it's two people (gods? demi-gods?) playing a game with humans but i'm not certain it's as clear as Jacob=good, brother=bad. They both seem happy to use and sacrifice humans. For instance, Jacob stopped Sayid from being hit by the car but let Nadia die.

3) The love quadrangle is the most annoying thing in the show since nikki and paolo. I really don't care who ends up with who anymore.

4) Hurley seems to be the only one who has never done wrong. He hated the money he won and has always been the voice of conscience. Also, there are repeated times he has said or been told that he's not supposed to be there. (he said it season 1, ben said it to him on ajira 316). Could he be the human Jacob has been striving to find?

5) Desmond is the coolest character and should be the saviour. If he dies I will never forgive the writers!! One point I have picked up on is that Ecko was going to be an integral part of the show and the mythology until the actor left (he didn't like living in Hawaii). Since then Desmond appeared and developed. Could the writers be using him as a substitute?

I'm gonna stop myself now. One disclaimer I'll make is that a lot of my theories have either been "borrowed" or confirmed by recaps on darkufo so if it's familiar to anyone that is why!

On that front (the timeloop paradox thingy) I wonder if the whole thing was not part of some elaborate plan (or 'long con' if you prefer) hatched by Jacob's nemesis.  Remember, "resurrected Locke" tells Richard to help the wounded Locke, give him the compass and tell him he's going to have to die to save the island.  Perhaps this was the nemesis' way of bumping off the real Locke in order to impersonate him and manipulate the situation to his advantage.  After all, the 'real' Locke was the one that approached Richard in 1954--when all the timeshifting was happening--and explained that he would eventually be the leader of the others.  This, Richard admits to Jack, was what got Richard curious about Locke in the first place and so perhaps Locke simply planted the seed in Richard's head that he would be leader and Richard made it happen eventually because he thought that's what was needed.  The nemesis would want to look to bump off the real Locke and install himself in his stead in that situation because he knows that Richard and Ben will follow his direction and provide the opportunity to kill Jacob.

Another thing i would like to know is the way they were showing that Micheals son Walt is like a chosen one, special etc was never really explained. I thought he was going to have a major role in the show. Also why were the others after him in the first place and yet they let him go.
Another thing comes to mind is when ben shot locke in the ditch of bodies i remember walt came to locke and told him you still have lots to do. Could that have been smokey/black shirts impersonated as Walt?

[JoeTerp]

I think the main thing with Walt not playing a bigger role had to do with logistics. For a long time only a few months were supposed to go by while the actors were aging by the years. With adults that isn't that big of a deal, but with kids it is. Now that we are in 2007, I think the chances for a Walt comeback are greater.

They only showed an older walt when locke went to him. Its a bit add though i mean the first few series it was like walt i special etc but after walt went on the boat with his dad his story ended.

Not sure if its true but someone on a tv forum said they did a report with Dominic Monaghan (Charlie )about his new part in PET(Charlie ) and after the report ended  he said that he was back filming Lost next year.

[GOAT]

Great stuff if true, I liked Charlie

He'll most probably come back as a manifestation again

[lakes10]

do you find it strange how locks boddy was taken into camp???

it looked like this

[Madmax]

Also hurley's visions of charlie, eko etc wonder who that was?? Jakob or smokey/black shirts
