Straggling last few comments from LOST: 5x07

Overflow:
Final island comments from: LOST- 5x07 "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"

1.) Widmore's memory of John Locke, that Charles speaks of, seems like he's had since he was with Dharma on the island as a young man. If Widmores memories are from back then, rather than 'just planted' memories like the one from Daniel Faradey to Desomd at the Hatch door, then Locke did influence time. However, from Widmore's perpective, Charles thought 'Wow only 4 days...that's amazing'. -- Does Widmore really know how the whole time thing works regarding the island?

2.) John Locke's Decomposing body doesn't decompose?

...maybe that's why he's special. If Locke's body was REALLY dead meat ...it can only keep at room temperature for a short time. It seems unrealistic that the body wouldn't have smelled REALLY bad from being in the van even if only for a while. Jack didn't seem to notice any stong smell when he put his Christion's shoes on Locke's feet. Also, the meat /'cold-room' in the butchershop wasn't cold enough to see your breath. Things can still go bad in the fridge.

3.) Ben turned the donkey wheel ahead of Locke to get a head start in helping the O6 to get back to the island - cause he knows John would have trouble convincing the O6 to return.

Meaning of the Show.
The writers of the show are commenting on: life(birth)/death(eternal), , morality, humanity, belief and faith, war related to religion, communication, truth vs lies. With the episode "Life and death of Jeremy Bentham" It forces us all to look at ourselves AND determine the struggle we want to face rather than fighting off the stuggles that happen to us, hurt us and slow us down as a species.
