Is ‘New John Locke’ Smokie?

Good eveining to all.

It’s been good to find a site of this calibur where many of the questions, and thus far unentertained ideas, that watching Lost brings about are discussed in the manner they are here… So the first hat-tip goes to the creators. 🙂

So I ask you: Is the ‘new Locke’ a creation of the monster we’ve come to love and respect, more recently dubbed ‘Smokie’? Well, whist watching the end of ‘Dead is dead’ this evening, that very thought was rolling around in the ‘ole noggin after having read several similarly-themed posts on this site and I happened to notice: Shortly after Ben falls through the stone walkway that he and John are treading underneath the temple, John says: “Hang on I’ll find something to get you out of there.” and then he disappears rather abruptly, as does the glow of his torch. Ben then gets himself together and proceeds into the chamber where he of course has his moment of judgement with smokie and what many are assuming to be a smokie-driven Alex. After that’s all done with, Ben picks up his torch and hears a somewhat conveniently timed John Locke calling his name, DIY rescue rope in hand. John asks: “What happened?”. I’m thinking that if John couldn’t have wandered far from the chamber, surely he might have noticed the flashing lights and characteristic sounds of smokie? Or for that matter heard the commotion Alex kicked up when she appeared?

I don’t know just how likely a possibility this is, or if even perhaps I’m overlooking something that already rules this out completely. Nonetheless, I’d love to hear what other fanatics have to say on this one, being that it strums a similar chord to other recent queries.

Incidentally, this would also explain just how ‘new John’ suddenly knew exactly how to find the temple, and to go into the chambers beneath to find smokie.

Have fun!
