Well said!

I can understand why some people think he's no-longer the force that he was, but that's all part of the journey..the evolution. No-one can go through life being a constant bad-ass..one has to find their way..their purpose. And with that comes doubt and plate smashing

Locke's undeniably more 'cool' when he's in control and spreading his wisdom, and he hasn't a chance to express that side too often since things went awry in that way in the middle of season 2, thanks to the button's ambiguous importance and Ben's status. Since then, he's mostly been a detached-from-the-group crazy badass and hard-to-understand loose cannon whose coolness isn't apparent if you're not on his side, or emo-Locke looking for acceptance, or angry-Locke looking for direction. They're all parts of his character though, and I wouldn't want rid of them either, as a one-dimensional character is rather tiring, but it's regrettable that Locke doesn't get to express his cool, calm and collected side more often. I think that's why I like his scene with Jack so much (excluding the second half the of the hatch storyline) — he always lets his cool controlled side come to the fore, and Jack can't stand being talked to like that one iota.

That's an extremely valid point. For the most part, he always seems to be so calm and composed around Jack.

Oh, I love that pic, it's awesome. How I giggled, lol. I think the first one is the funniest, however, they all suitabley show how character obsessive Lost fans can be

And heck, even I would pick Locke over Bernard

He may have taken Ben's questioning in Locke of why Jack lets him 'talk to him like that' on board.

Incidentally, his change in behaviour when Ben shows up while Locke's talking to Jack in There's No Place Like Home is rather abrupt — he goes from the cool Locke we love to the subordinate Locke some aren't sure of.

His interaction with the Others, whom he's going to lead, but know less than, at least for a time, will be interesting.

Bernard is cool!

There has to be some realistic characters on the show.

Locke was the only reason I started watching Lost. Locke is always cool and anybody who says otherwise is just PLAIN STUPID. We seriously need a Locke fan club, so we can show people how cool Locke is..
