The Bottom Line You got new legs, John! New legs!
This calls for some dancing in the rain...
One of my all-time favorite John Locke moments on LOST comes very early on, when a large cloudburst catches him and he stands grinning up at the sky, the very epitome of joy. More than anyone we meet in season one, there's a sense that John is supposed to be on this island and that he has been healed so that he might fulfill some grand purpose there. Though this obsession with destiny has led John into some pretty dubious decisions, I still think there's something to it, and I love the feeling of rebirth encapsulated in this scene. John the Baptized The looming rain clouds open and spill their drops upon The man whose face is turned up toward the sky. The splendor of existence alights once more on John. A miracle has touched him. Who knows why? John doesn’t understand it, but, certain he is meant For dauntless deeds and visceral delight, He grins in exultation. He’s more than just content; He’s vindicated, gratified and right. His life is one of purpose, no matter what his boss And savage, scheming father had to say. Now, looking back, he wonders if he sustained the loss Of movement for the glory of this day. The blessed restoration has heightened every sense. Oh, what exhilaration just to feel! The water rolling off him takes with it every tense Emotion, every ragged plea to heal. A falling sunlit droplet becomes a tiny prism; A rainbow, shimmering, comes into view, The sealing of a promise that comes with this baptism, That life abundant has begun anew.
