Did we not see that Locke did, in fact, have a mother that wasn't his birth mother? He was in foster care. It was the mother he knew.
*If* Ben and Locke share Emily as a mother, I wonder if the accident and subsequent infandectomy she underwent caused the trauma that resulted in her death on Ben's arrival.

Horace stated that he has been dead for 12 years. That puts the purge in 1992. Danielle claimed she was on the island for 16 years, from 1988, and that Alex was taken by the others a week after her birth. Danielle was seven months pregnant upon arriving on the island. She also claimed she had never seen anyone else on the island to Sayid.
1.) Ben was still working for Dharma with his father when Alex was taken.
2.) Dharma personal were roaming around the island for 4 years with Danielle also on the island. How can they not bump into each other?

Either Danielle isn't being entirely forthright, or Horace was mistaken. (It was a dream...) Or the writers can't do basic math.

BTW, not everyone was definitely killed in the purge. First of all, the 'hostiles' were targeting Dharma members and we don't know if Danielle and her team was Dharma or not. Secondly, even Ben stated that he was 'one of the ones' smart enough not to end up in the ditch. This means there could be other Dharma survivors. Kelvin is one example of a Dharma member who was left alone, at least if we believe his own story. Now we know Danielle was also wondering around the island for four years before Ben went Darth Vader on everyone.

Is the actor who plays Christian Shepard ill or something? He's looking VERY skinny. And Claire's face seems chubbier than usual. Is she pregnant in real life and they're just hiding her?

B. Something to protect him from the effects of passing thru the island's barrier on the wrong heading (He was willing to kill Frank, despite the fact that he's the only one who can fly the chopper. Maybe he planned on using the raft to get to the island if he couldn't fly?).
Or I could be totally wrong and it could be something else entirely.

The drawing may have been an adult Locke sleeping by a campfire, a scene we saw in this episode - while dreaming of Horace.
It also appeared that Locke recognized the name Alpert when being told about the summer camp in the HS scene.

Huh, I didn't think of the campfire OR Smokie when I saw the picture. I assumed it was a picture of John lying next to the plane crash wreckage from the first episode.

Still, Jack's / Claire's dad looks ill-skinny.

FINALLY just found the time to watch the episode. This show is turning into quite the mindfuck, and I'm loving it.
I hadn't really thought of it that way. To me, the scene mirrored how a new Dalai Lama is found, and I'm thinking that the items Locke was supposed to pick were literally his in a past life.
As for Keamy's armband, maybe it's a portable Smokey-repellant? Although, why they wouldn't have worn those on their first trip to the island, or why only Keamy seems to have one, doesn't make much sense. Anyway, just a thought I had.

I think Lost is the best show on TV, period.

No, not could be, IS. It IS the black smoke. I cannot see how there can be any possible doubt as to this.
