What is't? a spirit?
Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir,
It carries a brave form. But 'tis a spirit.
The Tempest. Act i. Sc. 2
I dont have the time to read ALL the past threads/posts, but wanted to share this.
It bothered me that LOCKE had seen the monster and says nothing.
Suddenly it came to me that this is all LOCKEs Dream during a COMA; probably
from trying to do the WALKABOUT on his own and getting robbed and beaten.
(They arent showing this in Australia, probably to avoid annoying the
tourism board.)
In the end he will come out of it still paralyzed.
And, as they take him to the airport to go home, he will find himself
among the passengers prior to boarding and see that they are the people
in his dream.
The series will end with him smiling -he is going to be able to walk again-
as his flight departs Sydney.
SO THERE!!!

PS The flaw that directed me towards LOCKEs fantasy instead of the others,
is that they did the fire when it was overcast. Jack should of known better.
But, Locke had no real military experience and logic wouldnt of included
that minor detail.
THEN AGAIN...
PS2~ The ratings for this episode could be lower as the show didnt appear
as the TV Guide scheduled it on the west coast.

1. The whole everything-was-just-a-dream is a bigger cop-out than anything
else anyone can think of. I give JJ Abrams more credit than that; granted,
his explanations are out-there, but "it was all just a dream/coma"
doesn't seem to be on his repertoire.
2. Ratings for this episode were its highest since the first part of the
pilot.
