I posted this idea in "The Last Recruit" thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread.
I can explain what happened on the beach near the pylons. I don't think it is a big deal that the boat people and jin were held at gunpoint and forced to their knees. Widmore is an Other. Others are very careful about how they handle situations. They have always seemed excessively violent, but I don't think it is evil; it's only paranoid.
Also, notice how Jack barely survives the explosion and Locke seems unaffected by it. I think that explosion would have killed Locke if Jack wasn't with him. When Zoe talks to Widmore, she tells him that Ford and 5 people arrived on the beach. That's when Widmore decides to attack Locke. I think Widmore assumed all the candidates were away from Locke, leaving him vulnerable to attack by someone that hasn't talked to him (whoever fired the projectile).
Had Jack stayed on the boat, I think Locke would've been killed.
However, I'm also pretty sure Locke gets time with everyone important on the Island before they get to make any big decisions (like whether or not they are gonna follow Jacob).
