Thinking about season 3 for him is tough. I really want to think that at least 1 of the 3 in the hatch doesn't make it. Locke still has a story to tell. Des is to important to the Penny end of things so this leaves the preacher man as the odd man out. I hope that it's not that way though. I'd love to see him, Locke, and Des team up to repair the button, and/or find a new hatch to run things from.

eko will continue his spiritual journey... more than anything he knows that there is a payoff in any action good or bad and that payoff can be good or bad... depending on your viewpoint... he will be the one who helps other LOSTies in making decisions and living with their decisions... he may be the one who brings sayid back to humaness... these two have more in common than we know....

I think the only way that he is going to play a major role this season will be in helping to rescue the 3 prisoners. His spirituality could play a part later in the season, but for the first part it's not going to require any faith. It's all going to be about revenge, and finding the strength to go after the ones who are now "LOST" from the group. His faith could be used as a "light" for this so to speak, but I think it's going to be more straight up go for the gusto type stuff early on in the season.

HOW did you get Jesus stick on that cartoon? They don't have that option on either of those south park games....

Genesis 13:14 - The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west.

John 3:5 - Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

Romans 6:12 - Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Acts 4:12 - Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

And I think it's Habakkuk 1:3(?) - Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.

And of course... the Numbers!

poor eko if they do him in... is his story really all-told???

I like how the new scratchings say look North and well, the others are North.

I was talking about the idea that he seems to have a bigger part still to play. I hope they don't get rid of him just for the sake of the balance of people on the show.

Someone else made a comment which got me thinking. She said that maybe it's ecko throwing a knife at ecko. So like, what if we are all riht? What if ecko dies but lives too? What if somehow the present ecko and the future one are somehow present at once and one kills the other???

I have trouble thinking that the show would go that sci-fi. it would be cool to me, but to many people llike the lower level of that spacey kind of sci-fi.

BUT....What if it's one of the other guys from his drug dealer days that weren't on the plane?

But, they're already going sci fi. They've said that they are not in sync with the outside world timewise. I don't know what henry was pulling on jack, but this is what they've said in spoilerdom. They've got a character who no has traveled a short bit into the future and is reacting off of what he knows is going to happen next. I wonder just how far he went? Does he know how to get Jack/Kate and Sawyer back?

i've been thinking about this all thru the day...
eko continuously made bad choices for the greater good... he stole to feed his brother (while the whole village was starving); he killed a man so that his brother, who couldn't kill, could go on to do something else with his life; he bought and sold drugs to get them out of the country and to give money to the church; he refused to give the warlord his share of the vaccine so that the village could have it all and killed to make this happen; he impersonated a clergy to survive and possibly carry on his brother's work.... he did bad things... he was unhappy as a priest and was going to america to get out of it and hide....
yet he lands on this island of mystery... and it kills him when he doesn't repent his sins... he considers his choices to be acceptable...
is it okay to steal food when you are hungry? how about robbing mick jaggar becuz he has and you want? is it okay to kill someone so that your brother doesn't do this? is it okay to sell drugs to support a church? kill so that a village will get medicine that it needs? ...pretend to be a priest....
can you do all these things and still live a righteous life... a virtuous and moral life? or is this a different type of righteous life... one that is dutiful, right-minded and noble?

should eko have asked for forgiveness for his life? was he only being arrogant and vain instead of being righteous?

LL wow. Ok..first I think that it's very possible that if he was living a life of sin that at some point while on the island (when he wasn't speaking) he communed with god in his way, and repented for his sins.
Now...on the idea of being virtuous and moral while living the way he did, and doing the bad things he did. I actually do believe that he could easily have been living a life of virtue and honor. Of all the things he did that were bad. The only thing he did that was for himself was the pretending to be a clergyman. And I can say that I believe while he did this he did everythin in honor of his brother, and for himself to attempt to make up for the sins of his past.
Now me? I wouldn't have any qualms of doing each and every thing he did if they were for the same reasons. Were I put into the situation where I had to watch my sister kill someone or for me to take the gun to absolve her from guilt, and also to keep her from messing up her life. I wouldn't hesitate. In every situation on this show we have been shown that the end result (coming to terms with your life) is what matters. Not the route one person has taken to become the good person they need to be in god's eye.
