Where the Kids Come to Mouth Off

More spoiler stuff:



My $0.02:

It's clear that Locke has a rich fantasy life that involves playing military-based role-playing games (and also believing phone-sex girls are his girlfriend). I believe the phone call was from a friend/co-worker who was also into role-playing. Locke and the friend were merely "in character" during that phone call, and could have simply been psyching each other up for their big battle during lunch hour. His superviser is aware of Locke's role-playing and derisively calls him "colonel" as he walks by.

I took the whole thing as emphasizing the contrast between who Locke acutally is, and who he wants to be. On the island, it seems he has a chance to actually be the tough-guy character he was pretending to be. He's a possibly psychotic Walter Mitty.

New to this spoiler color thingy... Hope it works....



Aren't they all dead? I watched it last night for the first time, and only half of it, but I saw where Locke found he could walk and him killing the monster... It just seemed like they were caught in some limbo world and they are living out their fantasies... But I want to know more, so if any of you tv junkies can enlighten me on the first two (or did I miss more) that would be great.
