Locke...dead?

[you_all_everybody]

I just wanted to add my thoughts on the Locke dead or alive theory... I don't know if anyone had mentioned this before, but one way they could be keeping him in the state he is in is by using the medusa spiders.   Just a thought.  It would give at least a minor significance to those useless characters Nikki and Paulo.

ouch... i'd hate to have a spider bite me

Yeah.. it would suck... it was just one of those, well how could they fake a doctor into thinking he was dead.. and then I thought of the one thing on the show that, that has happened before..

[Chuckie]

This is a brilliant theory. Good thinking. I never would have thought of this.

Of course, I've had the Nikki and Paulo episode chemically erased from my brain, so...

I think he is really dead..and he gets reborn by the island, no tricks i don't believe.

i think he is dead, but will appear as christian has apears on the island, which will complete his role as being the leader and taking jacobs place. totally think that was locke in jacobs cabin in S04E01

The name on that van Ben had him in was an anagram for reincarnation.

I don't see how Locke's battered face (from the car accident before Ben kills him) could have healed if he was dead.  I saw some posts regarding five o'clock shadow but, to me, the real puzzler is how he could appear so healthy in the casket if he was really dead.
