I totally doubt Locke is Alex. It seems as if he'd be too old. Ethan could be Alex, but I doubt that as well. I think that maybe Ethan and the others he took Claire to are survivors from another crash on the island. Perhaps this other group consists of the offspring of the survivors of another crash. The island is all they know. Jack and the others are intruders.
Get my drift?
I also think we haven't gotten the wrong impression of Locke at all. He had to have been on the plane or Hurley would have told Jack that Locke's name wasn't on the manifest. That's how they discovered Ethan Rom, remember? So Locke is one of them. He's just been preparing all his life for one big adventure and now he has it.
As for him being in a wheelchair, who says he's been in one all his life? It could have been an accident that took his ability to walk away from him. Once upon a time, he could have been able-bodied and able to do all the nifty things he can do now. Locke could have even been a military man in this other lifetime. Which could explain his behavior. Among other things.
Does that make sense to anyone but me?
