Why oh why didn't I remember this one?![]()
And I'm the one who is always waiting to see the back story of how he ended up in that wheel chair.
My personal guess will be that you watched 2 years worth of season in a few months and that you didn't tape and rewatch "Walkabout" 10-15 times like I did.
In relation to this...it was shocking when I found out that the woman he was spending time with was named "Helen".
Remember that scene when he was sitting on his bed, talking on the phone? That scene is SO SAD.![]()
That "Helen" was a phone sex operator was less of a revelation than the paralysis, but in terms of Lost backstory, it was teir 2. That his pre-paralysis girlfriend was named Helen was much more interesting. And I had really grown to love Locke as a bad"posterior" during the first few shows - I was convinced he was military or CIA so the first 1/2 hour of "Walkabout" just sucked me in - that I hated to see him trying to get "Helen" to come on the trip with him.
That said, after 2 seasons and the myriad of plot changes that have occured I still have two favorite characters and their both original Lostaways - Locke and Sayeed. And I think a large part of the credit has to go to Terry O'Quinn and Naveen Andrews for being such excellent actors.
