Namaste, welcome to ORANGE PEEL MOUTH

Thank you Cody. First of all I'd like to say that I am very honored to be apart of this blog. The best part of lost is indeed talking about it with your friends, whether it's at the Tower or it's on your front porch, chain smoking immediately after the latest episode has aired. So let's go ahead and get started. Let's get right into it and cut all of the bullshit. Let's talk Walt and Locke.

The season 3 finale is definitely my favorite so far. Season 1 and 2 finale's both had me crying for more, with little to no idea what would happen next, however it was Season 3's finale that had left me in total awe and with more anticipation than any of the others. I don't want to knock season 4's finale, I still have no clue what's up, but season 3 will always be dear to my heart. It was the half way point in the season 3 finale that did me in. When John Locke is about to pull the trigger, take his own life, and then Walt appears.

So, this is where most of my intrigue lies. In season 1 we know that John Locke is not dead at the end of the finale. He has just started to embark on his journey, and we all can get that when he is peering down into what seemed to be an endless hole of what we now know to be the "hatch". The season 2 finale is where we first question the fate of John Locke. Even though most of us probably just assumed he was alright, and had survived the explosion, we still had no idea as to the fate of Locke. What was going to happen next?

That brings me back to season 3. John Locke in a pit of skeletons, about to pull the trigger... and then Walt appears. What does Walt say? "Don't John, you have work to do." Well, it seems Locke spent all of season 4 trying to figure out what that meant, and us (the audience) are also trying to figure that out. What work did John Lock have to do? Was it just to move the island? Or lead the others after it was moved? If you ask me, we haven't see what John had to do, and he has not finished what he set out to accomplish. But... hes dead. In the season 4 finale we see him dead. Is Locke really dead, and did he finish the "work" he was meant to do? What does anyone else think?
