I love Ian Somerhalder so very much right now, if for nothing else than agreeing to come back over and over again to the show that pretty much screwed him over and over again without warning.
The important thing to keep in mind about Locke: whether or not Boone actually *was* a sacrifice - to the Island, for Locke’s legs, for general peace of mind, whatever - Locke still thinks he is, so in his mind, that’s what he’s always going to be. Maybe it’s innocuous; maybe it’s just “Boone was a dumbass who went up in a precariously-perched plane in a tree, and it fell, and he died, and it sucks but it’s an accident”.
But why wasn't Hurley with Jack, Kate, and Sawyer? This is what is continually tripping me up. Okay, we're on an island where it's apparently canon that Walt and now Des have some kind of psychic abilities. That seems to suggest that receiving vision from Poor Dead Boone of the future are at least possible there, too. So I could much more easily buy that Boone is there only as a subconscious reflection of Locke's guilt if
