Bill’s Lost Site

So, there is this guy Locke on the island. Box company collection supervisor by day and super-hero of our mystery island by night. Seems like every episode I am left asking myself, “How in the world does Locke know so much?”.

This post will be an on-going post based off feedback that I receive. My hope is that by the time we document everything Locke knows or does we will have a better understanding of his real background.

In no particular order here is what Locke can do:
— Hunt boars
— Skin boars
— Cook boars
— Collect water off plants
— Make glue out of plant stuff
— Make stuff that causes people to have really bad mental trips
— Ties up Boone in a very particular way after giving Boone the head trip stuff
— Quotes extensively from ancient history
— Speaks a little Italian
— Knows how to set a fuse in a stick of dynamite
— Built massive piece of equipment to try to break into the hatch
— Makes ropes
— Built a cradle for Claire’s baby
— Can track humans
— Great shot - flashback scene he bags a bird on his first shot
— Cleans and maintains all weapons ranging from hand guns to assualt rifles
— Knows how to install a lock on the gun room in the hatch
— Can seriously fight - whoops up on Charlie
— Knows how to take a lock apart and change the combination
— NEW from MamaMia - Locke is able to do this with just a single kidney
— NEW from Amber - Locke is able to predict when it will rain - usually in 3 seconds or less
— NEW - Locke is a literary critic

I consider all of these things unique since I can’t do a single one of them. Further, from what we know about Locke’s past he was a foster child. He mentioned that he was an outcast. He worked in a toy store and at a box company. Oh, and for the past 4 years he was paralyzed from the waist down.

Now some of these items you can learn from a book. But others … you have to actually do it.

So, post your comments about other things that Locke has done. He is truly an amazing character.
