Happy Lost Day! How Dead Is Locke?

For the last Lost Discussion Group, I solicited your thoughts on Locke’s death. Since tonight’s episode is “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham,” I will solicit them again. (I know a little about the episode from teaser clips ABC has posted for the press, but until time.com upgrades the blogs to handle embedded video–cough! cough!–I can’t post them, so I’ll keep mum. Update: Mo Ryan has ’em here.)

One thing I’m wondering: clearly we have not seen the last of Terry O’Quinn on this show. But how will we see him? Only in flashbacks? Now that (presumably) Locke’s body has returned to the Island, what does it do? Is he dead, stone dead, like the parrot in the Monty Python sketch? Or is he dead like the dead parrot that got revived in the pilot of John from Cincinnati? Your thoughts on that or any other matters Lockean, are welcomed.
