Default Ben & Locke

Who else thinks/realizes that Ben & Locke are brothers?
Half brothes, maybe even full blown brothers...
We don't really know who Locke's dad is, right?
It could be Uncle Rico...

That's beside the point...
Both Ben's & Locke's mother's name is Emily...

WHEN BEN WAS BORN (RIGHT BEFORE SHE DIED) SHE YELLED, "NAME HIM BEN"...
WHEN LOCKE WAS BORN, HIS MOM YELLED, "NAME HIM JOHN"...

Very similar...
I think those similarities are there for a reason...
The writers could have very easily given the mothers different names if they were different people...They had a million names to pick from...

please explain... how... Locke's mom shows up all those years after Ben's mom dies... She shows up... set Locke up with his biological daddy... to thieve a kidney... Locke is also informed by the police no less.. about His mom's history.. (if I remember correctly)... they look different... and when both show up on Island visits... Ben as a youth, Locke after the crash... they again are different...

I don't get it.... other than... Both will seemingly be leaders of the Island... both mothers are named Emily... perhaps this is one of the deciding factors for being leader.. Mothers named Emily that for different reasons abandon their infants... Births under unusual circumstances.. unusual early developmental lives... personalities that are just a bit off the norm....

When did Locke's mother show up?
He was an orphan...
Not to mention, he was a part of an elaborate con...
If a mother came around, I bet it was all part of the con...

Honestly, I don't remember his mother coming around...If I'm missing it, please enlighten me...
And, his mother's history? Again, maybe part of the con...
I'm trying to keep this going...


ALSO

That's funny that you posted it in 9 other threads...I've really only read 3 or 4 others...And I kind of skipped through the meat. I read the beginning and end...If I'm interested in the end, I'll read the middle...

T, we have no idea who shows up. Swoosie Kurts plays the person who claims to be Locke's mom, but she is a red head and we know his mom was blonde. Emily Linus is blonde. The woman claiming to be Locke's mom ADMITS to be paying to lie to him...do you think it is impossible that she was being paid to play his mom? He didn't know his mother, she left him. Also, he is the most gullible man on the planet. What she did do was lead him to Anthony Cooper, who stole his kidney, which saved him when Ben shot him. In that case, the woman saying she was Mother Locke could have been another insider, making sure plans went as they would need to to ensure Locke's success on the Island.

Oh, read about the Biblical brother's Esau and Jacob. Locke = Esau and Jacob = Ben. I've posted in the theories section about them, but it is a good parallel for Lost.

hey erikua..

have you rewatched the show yet.... because I am beginning to question your memory... the Young Locke's mom last night was a redhead...not Blond....

not by any stretch could you even consider young Locke's mom a blond.. not even strawberry blond.... well maybe a Warm Strawberry Blond... as classified under Revlon...

and still I do not discount the old Locke's mom.. is not his real mother... but.. based on the compatibility of the Kidney... Locke's fathers ability to locate him.. and his old Mothers refernce to taking care of her at times with mom in the past.. it is hard to really go beyond... it is his real mother... and yet.. it may not be..... I accept that for now...

but one might easily raise this question... When Locke sees is mother.. in the heavy coat on the island.. pointing to the plane... Yemi's plane.. why would the island show him his Fake Mother... why not just Show us his supposed real mother...???? Bens Mommy????? or was thay way to early. and the writers are indeed winging it... and decided to connect Ben and Locke????

That chick was blonde. I am a girl, I know hair, she is blonde haha. I'll give you MAYBE strawberry blonde at best. http://images.lostpedia.com/images/2...andmalocke.jpg

Because, we were seeing who Locke knows as his mother. The Island makes familiar things appear. What good would it do if the real Emily Locke was pointing it out, if Locke had no idea who the real Emily Locke was?

so now the island can read minds??? and select images for people.... hmmm not buying that at all...

The Island as we know.. already considers Locke a Blessed Child... why would it lie to him... why not just use Ben's Mom.. if that really was Locke's mom.. because its the Plane Boss The Plane.. that is the true message anyway....

Locke would have just said... I saw a women pointing at a plane.. and still the plane would have been the focus.. not to mention.. and something you may have missed...

how much better would this have been.... that when Locke got to the barracks.. and went inside Ben's house ans seen the Picture of Ben's mother.?????

what kind of reaction would that have brought???

as for the Strawberry Blond... this is classified as Red... Revlon...http://www.wiggoddess.com/exclusivelyyoucolors.html

as for Ben's mom.... and Lockes mom.. Be fair... Erikua... use Lostpedia as they were meant to be,...

compare them...

http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Emily_Locke

http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Emily_Linus

one could actually say.. the Casting of both young Locke's mom and Older Lockes mom for similarity... was outstanding....


don't pick and choose to strengthen your argument.. its unfair...

even the Emily Locke page has to photos.. the hair color is exactly the same.. as I would suspect... that Lighting will always enhance lighter tones.. as a woman.. you should know this...

I have 3 sisters... been married twice.. i am not a novice.....

The Island (Smokey, I don't know) manifests things, we already know this. Is this news to you? Yemi, Kate's Horse, why NOT the woman Locke thinks is his mom? What would tell Locke the Island is special: seeing a strange woman who has no connection to him that he knows of, or seeing his mother who should be a thousand miles away?

And why not Ben's mom? Because the producer's aren't ready for that reveal yet.

I wasn't selectively choosing photographs, but you cannot deny that in the one I psoted that is a BLONDE ponytail. And yes, light does matter. Look at this shot of Emily Linus: http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Image:3x20_EmilyLinus.png Someone is looking a little red tinted. http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Image:..._is_creepy.jpg Here totally blonde.

I will give you that young Emily is strawberry blonde, her hair does look more red in the picture you posted. BUT, it looks blonde in most of the episode, to me anyway. And then if you look at more than the one very blonde pic of Emily Linus, she could also be described as a strawberry blonde. So: two Emilys...two mothers of similarly strange children...both scream "Name him _____!" as they give birth...and that is a mere coincidence? Instead, we should trust the woman WHO ADMITS SHE IS BEING PAID TO LIE TO LOCKE? Dude, come onnnnnnnnn.
