I was thinking back to the evolving relationship between Rose and Locke, and I recalled her vicious attack on his character back in 4.01
The Beginning of the End. In this episode she labelled him "crazy" (or a madman?), and it got me thinking - Is Locke 'really' "crazy"?
I think there's a fine line between crazy and sane and genius. It could be argued, i think, that Locke is all three.
He's "crazy" because he see's sprit-entities and goes looking for them, taking their word as canon.
Yet he's deemed by many to be a 'genius' for those same reasons - it makes him 'enlightened' and 'special' and 'connected'.
His sanity could be argued to be his ability to evolve, to question his own actions, and to even doubt his own faith (see season 2 and not pushing the button etc) - a mark of self-awareness..of sanity.
So, just what IS Locke - is he mad? is he special? is he a ramdon joe - "meat and potatoes"?
Or is he..as the song goes 'every woman(s dream)'?
