I don't know if it has been mentioned already, as I haven't read through all 52 pages of the post, but I am willing to bet the farm that it will turn out that Locke's Dad, Cooper will turn out to be the "real" Mr. Sawyer that was the con artist who was the cause of James Ford's (the cute Sawyer) dad to kill his mom in the flashbacks from season 1.

We know that Sawyer was the name of a con man who had an affair with our Sawyers mom and when his dad found out, he did a murder/suicide thing. This was why our Sayer adopted the "Sawyer" name when he too became a con artist.

Back in Season 2 there was a moment where Sawyer and Locke were walking through the jungle and Locke pointedly said to Sawyer (after he found out Sawyer wasn't his real name) "Why did you pick THAT name?" He asked him twice about it. We all know that NOTHING in the LOST world is left to random Chance, so I am calling it that locke's dad is the REAL Sawyer.

All I know is that when I was watching the show this week, I kept thinking of my vacation to Hawaii next week. March 31st can't get here soon enough!
