I liked the finale's plot twist, but I'm disappointed with where it leaves John Locke. I'm a huge fan of the character and this twist is kind of a kick in the balls to all his fans. He never received a dramatic send-off like so many other characters and seeing his body kind of puts an anticlimactic footnote onto an earlier episode. John Locke has always been subservient to coercion, but he had the promise of overcoming his earlier adversity and becoming something special. After five years of buildup, we see that his destiny was just to die and his appearance is now being used by a demonic spirit?!?! He was just a tragic pawn all along to a larger scheme?!?! I really don't accept that.

I'm very confident that the real John Locke will have a role in the sixth season. In the finale, there was a conversation between Richard and Jack about Locke. Richard mentioned that he didn't see anything special in Locke, but Jack told him that he shouldn't give up on him. I think that's a subtle nudge to the audience. The audience is expected to give up on Locke, but he still has a part to play. Let's look at the clues… In a flashback, Jacob took time out of his busy schedule and blessed Locke. There was absolutely no reason for that moment, unless Locke still has a vital part in Jacob's plan. (Juliet doesn't and we didn't see Jacob in her flashback.) We also saw Jacob bringing Locke back to life with a simple touch. In other scenes, we saw an image of a red herring and the mention of a "candidate". We know that Terry O'Quinn is returning next season and he would be underutilized if he's only playing the mask to a villain.
