i figured they would have just filmed those to keep the cast and crew unable to spill the end. so the scene was completely the same until the pan over to the casket? lame.

of course locke has the worst luck. that's why he has the best luck on the island. how the hell'd he get off? don't you ever get that twin theory from ben? like when he was talking on the phone with michael, he never said who he was, just assumed that michael would recognize his voice. there's a lot to be said about what people don't say. like when ben told locke not to come after them until he'd killed his father, but then locke had james do it, which worked out well for everyone, but when locke showed up at their camp with his dad slung over his shoulder, he never said that he did it. he just dumped the body and said something like "now tell me what the fuck's going on." the island smiles favorably on that kind of thing, i think. the clever ruse still keeping some kind of bizarre moral code in tact. what could locke have done to get himself killed? i'm riveted either way.
