Okay, I think I've got a better idea of what was going on with Locke, but I'm still puzzled about the others. Back in 1994 he was their leader for a few minutes, right, before he disappeared. Then three years went by, and suddenly he showed up and declared himself their leader again. Are they really that trusting, that they'd wait around for three years for a "leader" who'd only been there for the blink of an eye? Apparently so...I just can't fathom it.

That is the most perfectly perfect icon I've ever seen. :)
