I dont want to get in the middle of this either, but speaking our opinion is sort of the reason we are all here, so here goes....
I didn't vote either. I just didn't think any of them were all that villianous to be honest. I don't agree that Jack should of been on there. I did find that kind of comical. The reasoning even more so. Thats a theological debate I don't even want to get into. Quite frankly, I dont think anyone in this epi could be considered villianous, which is why I didnt vote.
I did, however, think that Locke acted out of control in this episode. I have always been a Locke fan. Actually, I'm a fan of each character in a different way, but I will admit to being partial to certain ones. This episode changed the way that I feel about Locke though. When he told the other Losties that if they wanted to live they should come with him, I would like to think that most of them would have said no had they known before hand that Locke had rules that when broken, would result in them being banished. Lockes "Anybody is welcome to come" attitude sure has changed alot recently. At the moment, Ben is right. Locke has no idea what to do next. Locke's main problem right now is that he has no idea how to take the initiative. He does not know how to lead unless he is being guided, therefore, he is also a sheep. A good leader would have never let Ben see (or hear) that he had gotten inside of his head. It shows weakness.
That said, I still love the character Locke. I just wish that he would stop letting Ben push his buttons and learn to keep his cool a little better.
