I think I figured out part of the show. What it is about.

Redemption.

Everyone has a issue of some kind, a secret. They have to confront it and overcome it.

I found this on another site



Anyone make the connection with Locke and the 3rd ep. title?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know this may be a reach, but if anyone is famillar with Philosophy, John Locke was a 17th century philosopher who was one of the originators of the "Tabula Rasa" theory of existince.

"Tabula Rasa" was the name of the 3rd episode. John is the first name of the boar hunting, formerly handicapped castaway.

Here's a bit of explanation:

"Locke was an empiricist, viz., all knowledge comes to us through experience. "No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience." There is no such thing as innate ideas; there is no such thing as moral precepts9; we are born with an empty mind, with a soft tablet (tabula rasa) ready to be writ upon by experimental impressions. Beginning blank, the human mind acquires knowledge through the use of the five senses and a process of reflection. Not only has Locke's empiricism been a dominant tradition in British philosophy, but it has been a doctrine which with its method, experimental science, has brought on scientific discoveries ever since, scientific discoveries on which our modern world now depends."

Along the same lines, I'm wondering if the old black woman's husband may be alive elsewhere on the island.

Hmm, that would kind of fit with the redemption idea. Along the lines of a re-birthing. It would also state that Locke must have had some of that experience prior, whether military, survival, etc.

I've had Tivo for two months, and I still can't help but smile with glee every time I skip forward 30 seconds at a time and obliterate those commercials. Such a gratifying experience. :D
