Locke-d

So let me picture the writer’s meeting that led to this show. “OK, we are in the 5th of 6 seasons, we have over 50 characters all with loose ends we need to tie up. What should we do? Hey, how about we introduce some NEW characters!” “And let’s have those characters act just like all the other ones, you know, hide things from each other, don’t answer questions, hell, we can even get them to cock a gun!”

The whole Locke thing was pretty anticlimatic being that:

a) We already knew Locke would die.
b) We already knew Locke would live.

I guess my biggest problem with the whole episode is that it wasn’t even the first time. Ben already killed Locke! Furthermore, it didn’t work the first time. So now we have Ben killing Locke again, and once again it didn’t work. What’s the point? Ah screw it!
