If Scruffy McEvil Dude truly is the one that is taking over Locke (which it most assuredly is)that raises several questions about other characters that could have had their body taken over by the evil guy.
Christian Shephard was "revived" once he got to the island, and his body was mysteriously missing from his coffin. Same with Yemi. His body was not in the plane, and seemed to have been possessed by the smoke monster. Could Psuedo-Evil-Locke possibly be possessed by the smoke monster/evil guy as well? If so...Why is his body in the box? Shouldn't it be missing like Christian and Yemi's?
Where is this other body coming from?
I think I know the answer to that question. Think about the timeline of John Locke. He was born, he grew up, he grew marijuana, he got pushed out of a window, he landed on the island, walked around, hunted boar, pushed a button, got shot, and killed Naomi. Then he time travelled. When he eventually got back to the Orchid and pushed the Frozen Donkey Wheel, he transported in time and space. He appeared in Tunisia in 2007. The last time he was "supposed" to exist was in 2004. That's three years where Locke's body was gone. Three years passed in both time periods he was in and still no sign of Locke. His body was gone, in the ether, off the table (so to speak) for three years.
Perhaps the Dark One has three years he can use a duplicate Locke body for...Then he has to take another form. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, right? So a living being cannot be destroyed and reformed three years later. His body has to exist in some form or fashion and the Mean Ol' Bastard probably knew he could use Locke in this fashion...That's why he convinced him to turn the wheel in the first place as Christian Shephard...That's why he wanted Locke to do it in the first place, not Ben. Ben only vanished for 10 months...Locke would've too presumably. Either way The Obviously Evil Guy would've had enough time after Locke died to set his plan in motion. To me, it's the only possible explanation to the existence of two Lockes that are the same age. That is...Unless Christian Shephard isn't the Evil Guy taking on his body. But I believe that he is. He's been using the cabin, he's why Illana's people burned the cabin, but is he the monster? I have no idea. We'll ! see in several months.
