Remember the amazing chess-themed promo shown on the Spanish station Cuatro? Here’s a video that shows how it was made.
It turns out they had originally started with the Borges poem but then, because of copyright issues, they used the Omar Khayyam poem instead.
The original Spanish promo from Cuatro has been pulled from YouTube, but there are two English versions that are available (at least for now).

The original Cuatro promo has been pulled from YouTube.
I found two other versions that are still available (at least at the moment). The first is a version with English text, which I think was fan-made:
The second was narrated by Terry O’Quinn (Locke). The translation here is a bit different from the one widely circulated with the original promo. What before had been translated as “destiny” is here translated as “fate.” I actually liked “destiny” better, because of the way it echoed the language used in LOST.

This has more footage from next week’s episode:

Terry O’Quinn talks about his character Locke and what he calls “the new embodiment of Locke.” He doesn’t call him “not” Locke or “fake” Locke, or anything like that. And he says that while his character is Smokie, he doesn’t know whether or not he is also the Man in Black. Interesting!
Then a fan asks Damon and Carlton what Damon calls a “new iteration” of the common fan question about whether the writers are making it up as they go along. This time, the question is about whether the backgammon scene in the Pilot, where Locke talked about dark and light, and good and evil, was intended to lead to where we are now. Darlton’s answer? Sort of yes, and sort of no.
I thought the strangest moment in “The Substitute” was when fake Locke (aka Flocke, notLocke, unLocke, and the Locke-ness Monster) chases after the blond kid. Fake Locke falls (not unlike the way that Real Sideways Locke falls), and the kid stands over him, and says “You know the rules. You can’t kill him.”
"You know the rules. You can't kill him."
Then fake Locke says, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do.”
The kid shakes his head and walks away.
Then fake Locke points his finger and yells, loudly: “Dont tell me what I can’t do!”
"Don't tell me what I can't do!!"
So why does fake Locke sound exactly like real Locke here? Why is he repeating real Locke’s most famous signature line?
We’ve already seen leakage into the Sideways world. Could there also be leakage into the Island world? Is that what we saw in this scene?
Or is something else going on?
I listed the possibilities that occurred to me in the poll below. What do you think? Do you have any other ideas?
Here’s the clip:
