Locke Box

I wrote here that because Star Trek NG's finale is Damons favorite episode, in which a future event coupled with a past event causes, well, an incident--that the box contains another bomb that will brought to the Well(shadow of the statue) and blown up--and it will be filmed simultaneously with the past bomb by Jack.

This would mean the incident is not preventable from the Past because it was actually caused by the group from flight 316. An event that flashed back through time to cause the anomaly

This still seems to be most likely.

However, the writers made a big point of suggesting Locke is different in this episode. Now, they may have reinforcing the point that Ben and Richard dont actually know anything. This was slammed home when it was revealed that it was Locke himself who told richard that he must die--and that order actually came from Christian. So the "you look different" may be just a way to show that richard didnt know John died.

But what a twist it would be if John finds his body and then questions who he is really is. The line that really got me thinking was "This must be a real out of body experience" by Ben coupled with the intro where Ben says dead is dead--you dont come back from that.. The clues are there---but it may be a fake just to create speculation though.

Anyway prepare for 815 to crash into the trench, juliet and miles to die, and the entire timeline to get wiped for those in 1977 because it seems to me the most logical end to this seasons story line. Which is Jack's plan always backfires
