I love the episode structure of LOST because so often it’s a very serious storyline paired with a very unserious storyline. It’s always something like

“John’s dad steals his kidney and leaves him for dead. Back on the island, Sawyer gets a new pair of glasses.”

“Sayid is held captive and brutally tortured while Hurley golfs.”

“Charlie deals with horrific PTSD after being kidnapped, hanged and revived. Meanwhile, Jack, Kate, and Sawyer, toss a bag back and forth.”

“Boone is tied up, drugged, and left for dead in the dangerous jungle while Hurley battles a tummy ache.”

“Sawyer looks for the boar who peed on his shirt while Charlie comes to terms with taking a man’s life.”

“Hurley deals with the very real possibility he might be losing his sanity and spiraling into a deep depression while Locke makes Claire a birthday present.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOST!!!

People just aren't ready for her and her power. Sure, Jack is a surgeon, Sayid was a literal torturer. Yet, no one is ever ready for the motherquake measuring 9.9 on the cunter scale that occurs every time she speaks her mind:

Rewatching LOST, and I gotta say, I don’t think this show gets enough credit for how socially aware it is (in some ways, and considering the time it was created!) Take Sayid for example. Sayid is a man originally from Iraq, who served in the Republican Guard. LOST started in 2004, just a few years after 9/11, and, considering it’s a show about a plane crash, it was bold for LOST to tackle the discrimination that anyone of middle eastern descent might face in the U.S.A. The majority of the survivors are white people with English as their native language. Some of them are wary initially about Sayid after learning about his time in the Republican Guard. Sawyer even accuses him of being a terrorist, and cites how Sayid was pulled aside by TSA (his intention is to use this as evidence to back up his claim, but he’s really just proving the discrimination against people from the Middle East). However, Sayid proves to be one of the most caring, patient, and genuine characters on the show. Like many citizens of any nation who join any military force, Sayid had good intentions, and got more and more tangled in the complicated, morally questionable (to say the least) web of war. He escaped, and felt immense guilt for his involvement in both sides of the war (he ended up also helping the Americans, after they convinced his to interrogate and torture his own commanding officer). During his time on the island, he is generally a helpful, benevolent man. Ultimately, his past doesn’t matter - and neither does anyone else’s. They’re all on the same team once they crash on the island. And then there’s the other bold choice - to have him romantically involved with a blonde, white woman (Shannon). Having an Iraqi man and a white, American woman as a couple on TV in 2004 was groundbreaking. I don’t think Sayid as a character, or Naveen Andrews as an actor, gets enough credit.

Evidently and clearly the affirming thing about John Locke IS that he is neither all that wise nor all that skilled, and has more or less made a royal mess of his own life because he was never able to get free of his horrible father. Now you can debate how much he's responsible for and how much really isn't his fault, but really that's splitting hairs. What's loveable about him is that upon being handed a second chance, to be able to move, walk, make use of the skills he picked up even if he was a massive fuckup in life -- the first thing he wants to do is smile with an orange in his mouth and then go on to genuinely help everyone he meets. Like doesn't a character like that remind you: it's in your power to do good now? However many mistakes you made? This is your permission to keep trying?
