LOST - Locke And Walt Backgammon - "Two players. Two sides. One is light one is dark"

In a Lost podcast many years ago Damon and Carlton claimed that there was a critical clue which had been frequently missed by many fans. After years of speculation I believe we now know what that clue was. Watch this video below from the Pilot and all will make sense!

Mind = blown.

"One is light...One is dark..." And that's exactly what this season is winding down to.

Except, well, I personally think that neither side is "good" or "evil," simply "light" or "dark" and both have positive and negative motivations, etc.

But that's just me. LOST has, up until now, been very clear about how everyone has the potential for good and bad in them and that everything is shades of grey. I'd like to hope it concludes with that.

@DrearierSpider the secret he tells Walt is about how he was in a wheelchair before the crash. Walt later tells Michael, in the same episode, that Locke told him a miracle happened to him.

J.J could've let the Man in Black in Locke's body since the beggining. It would be a lot more fun.

The game can be as simple as checkers, but when you play it at a high level it can be more complex than chess because of the "DICE" He references how the dice where made of bones, so the dice are responsible for moving light and good around until one side wins.

I agree and the fact that we don't get to hear what the secret is makes me wonder even more. I definitely feel that this is way too coincidental for Locke himself to be saying that; the original intent must be that the MIB had already taken over his body or had influence on him in some way.

"Two sides, one is light, one is dark..." And that is what lost is all about.

Here's what I think- Lost was never supposed to run as long as it did, it was supposed to be something like 3 seasons long. Then the TV bosses insisted it run longer because it was such a success. So, here Locke is telling Walt about who he REALLY is. In this episode the MIB has already taken over his dead body. He is playing a huge game of backgamon with Jacob already. Then this got side lined when Lost really took off and the MIB took over his dead body a few seasons later.
