Locke; Soothsayer
I think that Locke can see the future.
Here me out on this….
Locke comes up as Naomi starts to radio the boat and kills her. Jack then has the radio. Why not kill him? Why tell him “You’re not supposed to do this Jack,” then walks away. What does he know?
Locke sees “big” Walt. The writers say that Walt’s growth will be explained. Is this future Walt? (yeah, yeah, it’s probably black smoke Jacob but it also fits my theory!).

We’ve seen false prophets (Claire’s psychic, Desmond’s fortune teller) so it’s as if we’ve been set up to question soothsayers. Which makes for a perfect conundrum if we find out Locke, not just Dessy, can see the future. My guess would be that Locke’s probably not even cognizant of this ability.
“Theresa goes up the stairs. Theresa goes down the stairs.” Could have been Locke’s first vision. Dead Boone.
Either that, or he’s using a whole lot of that wacky paste.

You should hot-link things like “wacky paste” to your old posts explaining the genesis of the term. You know, for all the new Gitsies out there.
