During one of the episodes of TDTVS on Wednesday night, Sayid is taking Hurley to a safe house (which turns out to be just the opposite) and they are having a conversation. I don’t remember exactly what was said, but it went a little like this:
Sayid: I’m not taking any risks after Bentham died.
Hurley: You mean Locke.
Sayid: ..Yes, I mean Locke.
Hurley: I need a cool code name.
I think this would be a cool little applet to put on the ABC Lost site, sort of like the Sawyer’s Nickname Generator. The writers and producers are fond of creating characters who names have a hidden meaning relating to philosophers, scholars and writers. John Locke is actually the name of a 17th-century philosopher, so when they made up a pseudonym for him to come back to the world from the island, they gave him the name of a 19th-century philosopher, Jeremy Bentham.
So in that spirit, since I did so well in algebra in high school and am into computer stuff, my Cool Code Name™ is George Boole.
