When Locke fell down the well, did he end up with a really nasty looking compound fracture, or did something sharp on the ground pierce his leg? At first I thought like a sharp stick punctured him, but then I thought he must have broken his leg and that was his bone sticking out. But now today in Jeff Jensen's column over at EW previewing 316, it seems to say that he did land on something sharp. Any ideas which one it is?

I agree with you in thinking that it was his tibia.  |

i think the general consensus on here was that it was a compound fracture. BUT, i will say that when i first watched i thought he landed on something sharp.

Yeah he has a compound fracture of the leg - could be what ends up killing him. Nasty and should be splinted right away if nothing else. Christian wasn't very helpful in that regard, but that could have an island hallucination brought on by pain  |

maybe its because his legs arent supposed to be working, so anytime theres a chance he can hurt his leg, he will hurt his leg? lol idfk

Doc Jensen in his column today opines that any time Locke is about to embark on a new path (or, perhaps, unwisely deviate from the path he's currently on) he seems to temporarily lose full use of his legs. The Island giveth, and the Island taketh away...Or should I say Jacob giveth, and Jacob taketh away? |

Don't you think it heightens the dramatic tension for the viewers too? Everytime we see him injured, we silently scream, "Please, gods of the Island- not the legs!" lol
