I hate how people always know JUST what to say... Locke's speech about the dog was perfect right after Sawyer's dream... too perfect.
If anyone but Locke had said it, it would have seemed stupid.
But, they have created Locke as a character who basically knows everything, and has a connection to the island. Thus, I'll buy it. They created the character well enough that I am perfectly fine using him as unrelated exposition in terms of a situation.
Another note: I think this is the first real boar they've used in a major role. They used CGI Boars in the pilot and first episodes, I know, as they found they had problems with them. Nice to see that it kind of worked out here. The boar dumping Sawyer in the mud? Great stuff.
