That was a frustrating episode. I didn't think that any of Locke's behavior made sense for his character. First, he is leading the expedition. He knows where he is going and is in charge. This is consistent with the single-mindedness which has characterized him in past seasons. Then, they actually find some others and he suddenly turns into an idiot. None of them know who Patchy is. Yet, Locke fools around on Patchy's computer playing chess without a care in the world while his friends struggle with Patchy. Independent of Patchy, you would think that a man who was obsessed with the mystical powers of a prior computer might tread lightly when he finds a secret menu on another related computer.
