Ever since Locke started blowing stuff up in Season 3 I haven't really liked him. He seems to me like the dorky kid in high school who is so desperate to be liked that he goes through a wacky escapade in an 80s high school comedy. Only unlike the John Hughes movie, in Locke's case he doesn't learn that he can be liked for being himself, he gets killed and comes back extra creepy.
I am more and more convinced that resurrected Locke is different than old Locke. He says he has "a purpose," but to me he just seems extra crazy. The loser-ish part of Locke that just wanted to be one of the guys has died and been replaced by a crazy dude who I have no idea what he wants to do.
He does seem determined to maintain the timeline, which coincides with my view of that being one of the main purposes of the Others (as per the previous Eloise post.) I am not sure what is up with the killing Jacob thing, the telling one story to Sun and another to Ben, and the whole upsetting Richard thing. I do think that the Island's ability to directly tell him things is related to the fact that as a dead man he is now a manifestation of the island rather than a normal human being. I am convinced that Jacob is real so am not sure what will happen to Locke in the next episode.
Is Locke on the side of the island, if so has the island turned against Jacob? Or is Locke a renegade on a mission to destroy the island? Widmore says that Locke needs to be on the island for the right side to win the coming war, how does this fit in with Locke's seeming opposition to Richard, who up until now has been a voice for the Others.
