UNLOCKING LOCKE? BETTER GET A BIGGER KEY. NOTE: Before “Walkabout,” John Locke is simply Mr. Locke. We don’t know his first name is John until Kate says it out loud (after Michael gets knicked by the boar). Raise yer hand if you know what the CONSTANTS are for John/Locke. That’s right! John’s constant is the [...]
