Walt verses Locke

Elsewhere, Walt approaches Locke, who teaches him the rules of backgammon, explaining that the game is over 5,000 years old, referring to the Mesopotamian Royal Game of Ur.

Ah ha!

There we go, Jacob is from Mesopotamia!

Walt verses Locke

Okay, this is what I have decided.

In one of the very first episodes you see Walt playing backgammon with Locke. Locke, I believe is black and Walt is white. Much like unto how the "good" of Jacob is symbolized through white and the "evil" of the Smoke Monster is symbolized through black, I believe that in the end Walt is ultimately going to return to the island in order to be Jacob's replacement.

This, I feel, would be the awesomest way for the story to come full circle and book end the struggle between good and evil.

Thoughts?

Did anyone else feel like there was a bit of sexual tension between Dr. Linus and the student Alex in the previous episode? Ben will never cease to creep me out.
