Did you think it strange that Locke was just shot dead last week?

He's alive for sure. If you look at screen shots of his wound its just above the waist on his left side. I just now thought that that is the same place he had a kidney removed... interesting... I'm going to start a discussion on that...

It didn't think it any stranger then anything else on the island.I don't think he will die.He can't.He is too important to the show.I think he will be back and he will come after Ben.He couldn't kill his father but he might be able to kill Ben.This week should be very interesting.I can not wait.

Locke would not die because he is a key person in Lost. He is the second one who can hear Jacob. and maybe he is more sensitive than Ben. he can communicate with the island. Do you remember that Locke has lost a kidney before. and He would surive just because of that. I think Ben shot him at the kidney while Locke hasn't that kidney, so Locke would survie. but he must be wounded severely. I think Locke would come back in Episode 22.

I think he will be back next week for the season finale. I think Jacob will save him some how- Locke is touched by the magic island more so than the other "losties". I don't think they will write him out. I'm not sure if he somehow goes back to the Losties or if Jacob saves him and he works with the "Others"- Be great if they got rid of Ben- but I don't see that happening.

I task that Locke is a crucial personage of the series and that therefore they will carry it until to the end of the television film.

I think Locke will be back next week, and as others have stated, I think Jacob will save him. Now I have to wonder though if Ben has seen his last hurrah, when Locke gets his hands on him. Next week should certainly be very interesting.

He hasnt been shot yet in Australia. We are upto the part where the "other" got pushed between the big poles and his head started to hemerage.
