The Island - Jacob - have been trying to get john locke to lead for a long time. Alpert (freaky guy that he is) asks little john to pick the thing that's already his. I knew immediately that he was gonna go for the knife... but he was supposed to go for the sand. It was sand from the island, and he was supposed to know that the island was already his. Alpert tried again to recruit Locke, roughly 12 years later, but was then met by the Rebellious young high school Locke (and who wasn't pumped when he said it... "Don't tell me what I can't do!"). He isn't approached again for a long time, after his unfortunate pushed-out-a-building-by-my-con-man-father-who-also-stole-my-kidney-and-ruined-all-my-personal-relationships-and-my-emotional-stability incident, but it's not alpert this time... it's Abbadon, who... is Widmores man? Maybe? I don't like to make any assumptions anymore.
So here's the meat of the issue: Alpert, and the Others have been trying to recruit Locke all along. when they were deterred the first time, they began brushing up the understudy... Ben. After immense difficulty in trying still yet to get Locke, they put Ben through the rigors and give him the leaders seat.
But, there's a problem- he gets a tumor. My bet is it started growing the day john locke bought a plane ticket to Australia. People don't get sick on the island, they get better. Jack's appendix tries to blow to stop him from leaving. Ben gets cancer because the island is trying to clear the way for the prodigal son, and New King of WTFonia, John Locke.
Sound right to you?
