So I didn’t post about last weeks episode because I thought it was a little anti-climactic, and this weeks episode didn’t tell us much that we didn’t already know (and I’ve had more than enough of love triangles thanks), but while I was having a shower getting ready to watch Star Trek last night a Lost theory popped into my head.

What if Locke is not the leader of the others?

What if Richard Alpert told Locke he was their leader only because Locke himself told Richard the very same thing in the past, but in Locke’s future? It’s a self fulfilling prophecy! The thing is, even if he isn’t their leader nothing is going to dissuade Richard Alpert of the fact because we know in the future when Locke first meets him and he tells Locke he’s their leader Richard is 100% convinced it’s a fact (even though he’s probably not entirely convinced right now).

Whaddaya think?
