Ian Somerhalder.... Back from the Dead?

If you are an avid reader of my blog (and if that be the case, good God, get a life!), you'll remember from a previous post that I mentioned Ian Somerhalder, who played the unfortunate Boone in S1, is set to reappear for a few episodes in S3. Most of us assumed these appearances would be limited to flashback sequences, but apparently, that is not the case. Tripp West, an Atlanta DJ, provides us this this titilating spoiler:

"Hot off the release of his big screen horror "Pulse," the former LOST star spent a week in Hawaii working on new material for an upcoming episode of LOST which centers on the bushman-who-lost-his-way John Locke. In the episode Locke, who is still reeling from his actions in the cataclysmic season finale, begins to have visions of the young man who died to keep the hatch a secret. Boone leads Locke to a redemption of sorts and sets him off on a 'kung fu' like journey to unravel yet another island mystery. Sources say this journey rivals the season one fascination with the hatch and will find John Locke squarely returning to his mysterious mysticism and McGyver-ish ways."

HOT-DAMN, people! Seemingly, Shannon isn't the only one having visions of castaways that aren't quite there. (Remember dripping-wet, speaking-backward Walt in S2? Uh-HUH!)

Good to know that Johnny Locke won't be quite so weird this upcoming season. Now, if we could only figure out what the hell Jack's problem is....
