Lost Green Theme #5: John Locke is a TreeHugger


More than any other character, John Locke is completely at home on the island -- building shelter, bringing home the bacon (he tends to shoot wild boar). Of course, this might have something to do with the fact that Locke can suddenly walk again after years of paralysis. As he says in season 5, episode 13: "It's not an island, it's a place where miracles happen."


Locke's love for the island doesn't necessarily bode well for the other survivors, as he often goes out of his way to destroy any chance to leave (blowing up submarines et al, not exactly TreeHugger). Yet Locke is still the first of the survivors to really value its beauty and the back-to-basics way of living it brings.
