Free will is all we've really got, right? Anyway, just wanted to put in my two cents. I told you before, you can trust me.

If I could answer him now, I would tell him that when I was a young boy, I killed a man to save my brother's life. I am not sorry for this. I am proud of this!

Questions:

Favorites:

1. "Is that supposed to hurt my feelings?" Desmond
2. "I'm not that big on mysteries." Jack

Notes:

1. As much as I liked Mr. Eko, for some reason, I felt completely unaffected by his death. I'm still not sure why, because he's one of the characters I miss the most. It's unfortunate to find out that he was only killed because the actor no longer wanted to be in Hawaii.
2. You still owe Yemi one church, Mr. Eko!
3. The Others appear to be very cult-like in this episode with the funeral.
4. I love the actors that play young Eko and Yemi, who are really brothers.

He was placed on a plane which took off from an airstrip in Nigeria half a world from here. Then, the plane that I was on crashed on this island. And somehow, here, I found my brother again. I found him in the same plane that took off from Nigeria. In the same plane that lies above us now, that has concealed this place. And I took this cross from around Yemi's neck and put it back on mine, just as it was on the day I first took another man's life. So let me ask you--how can you say this is meaningless? I believe the work being done in the Hatch is more important than anything. If you will not continue to push the button, John, I will." Eko

Favorites:

1. "Well, ain't that swell, Gimpy McCrutch over here covers up that the Artist Formally Known as Henry Gale tried to strangle your little amiga, and suddenly it's on me when she goes vigilante." Sawyer
2. "Your map in inexact." Eko "No kidding." Locke "These landmarks, is that a river?" Eko "No, it's a wavy line." Locke
3. "Would you like to watch that again?" Eko

Notes:

1. Ana had the gun, and as far as Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Locke know, "Henry" attacked her and took the gun, then shot her, Libby and Michael, yes? Well, if that were true, then why would Ana be sitting on the couch, relaxed, shot in the abdomen? Why does no one question this? It confuses and angers me that no one would be suspicious of this situation until later, when Sayid, the man of reason and intelligence, knows that Michael has been compromised. Where is the CSI? It is quite clear that none of what Michael claimed actually happened.
2. When Eko has a dream to follow and knocks Locke out and he wakes with Eko sitting next to him, it is reminiscent of when Locke experienced, the dream he had of the beachcraft, which also ties him to Eko, and what he did to Boone in Hearts & Minds.
3. The autopsy tape, from DarkUFO: Doctor: This is a Caucasian female. She's 161 cm, 51.3 kilos, body prepped and washed by the very lovely Valerie McTavish. Assistant: Ian, stop it. Doctor: Commencing with the post. Whisper: That's her (or), That's enough. Doctor: This is a clear case of drowning. I'll begin with a thoracic. Charlotte Malkin: John! (screaming)Whisper: She's alive. Whisper: How will we know? Assistant: Oh my God! Doctor: Valerie!Assistant: She's Alive! Doctor: I think she's trying. Charlotte Malkin: Let John Locke go (on)! Whisper: She's not dead. Whisper: I found it. Doctor: Try and calm down (Assistant screaming stop, stop). Doctor: Valerie get.. she's crying, don't just stand there do something! Whisper: We’re sending them in (or), Let’s hear what she says.
4. Dr. Marvin Candle appeared in The Swan Orientation film, but appeared as Dr. Mark Wickman in The Pearl Orientation film, where he also no longer has a prosthetic left arm as he did in The Swan Orientation, which suggests that The Pearl was made first.

2. From Lostpedia: Even though the line of the 23rd Psalm that Eko recites with Charlie is supposed to be "the valley of the shadow of death," both clearly say, "the shadow of the valley of death." When the writers created this scene, they made that mistake, but upon reflection believed that the error was appropriate as Eko was never a proper priest.

Notes:

1. They mention Locke's brother in this episode and then we never hear about him again.
2. There is some major Mouse Trap symbolism in this episode.
3. Wow, Jack can actually be funny. Is this the first and only time?
4. With the 4 guns from the Halliburton, 1 from the marshal, and 1 from the dead priest, they have 6 guns now.
5. When Boone puts out the mayday on the beach craft, we later find out the the voice on the other end is Bernard, Rose's husband, who is with the others from the tail section.
6. We find out later that Desmond heard Locke in the hatch.
7. The scene where Locke goes to Anthony Cooper's house at the end and he goes back to the hatch on the island are almost mirror images of eachother. Cooper took Locke's kidney away and he didn't get what he wanted. The island took Boone and he didn't get what he wanted from it. He was conned. He put his time into these two things and thought he'd get something in return and he didn't. The stories parallel eachother.
8. From Lostpedia: Deus Ex Machina originated as a theatrical device in ancient Greek theatre. This device consisted of a physical crane that lowered a character down onto the stage, the character representing a god. This god would help the characters with a sudden twist in plot. This term would come to mean any device within a plot that provided a sudden change, or solution, in plot; Deus Ex Machina literally translates into "God from the machine" in Latin; In script writing, the term Deus Ex Machina is often used to refer to a solution to the story, a means to an end that comes out of nowhere and has nothing to do with the story, sometimes leaving the audience feeling cheated; Deus Ex Machina is one of the final chapters of Watership Down written by Richard Adams.
