Bad Locke

Hey, hey, ho, ho! John Locke has got to go!
I wonder when the producers of ABC's Lost are going to change the show's title to Locke, in reference to the character of John Locke, the one-kidney paraplegic turned boring survivalist. At first, I liked the character, but the writers have overdone it. Why do they think we only want to watch his character walk around in that grungy green shirt? He's in almost every fucking scene of every fucking episode squinting his eyes at everything going on.
Wednesday's episode really showed that he's turning into a Hank Hill and that's not a compliment. I agree that Charlie shouldn't have started that fire and left little Aaron alone. But Locke's actions are the exact same thing he would bad mouth another character of. Of all the characters they could have killed off, why not Locke?
Every episode of Lost I tune into now, I hope and pray that Locke only has one small scene, but no, that ugly mug of his permeates almost every scene. If it wasn't for the flashbacks, I would quit watching altogether.
If I was a writer for this show, I would have Mr. Eko beat him to a bloody pup with that big club of his and toss him into the ocean.
I like Terry O'Quinn and this is nothing against him as an actor.
I just want more of the other characters. I urge you out there to join me in the LoseLocke campaign before Lost losses his audience. It's very close to jumping the shark if Locke dominates another consective episode.
