Maybe I'm reading too much into one little, hard-to-hear line from some random guy on the radio?

At least in the next few shows, we might get to find out what the hell is behind the hatch, eh?

Locke is certainly the most interesting character on the show and his back story was pretty good, but it didn't explain why he was in the wheelchair in the first place, which is what I wanted to know. Locke is one strange dude, no doubt about it. He seems to have encyclopedias worth of knowledge lodged in his head, but seems to be pretty stupid concerning the world and how it really works. How naive do you have to be give a relative stranger a kidney? Even if he is your father, Locke hardly knew the guy.

Maybe I'm a cynic, but I like to have some history under my belt with someone before I make the decision to volunteer a vital body organ.

Did anybody notice the book Sawyer was reading? A Wrinkle in Time. My grade school literature may be a little fuzzy, but wasn't that about the relationship of time and space?

I wonder if they put the writers put that book there on purpose.
