4. "You hittin' that?" Ana Lucia asks Jack about Kate.

Notes:

1. I like the dream sequence in this episode, but otherwise it's pretty disappointing. I can see how a lot of people dropped the show during Season 2. It definitely isn't my favorite, but I enjoy it a lot more now going back and watching than I did when it aired.
2. The scene with Ana Lucia and Jack coming out of the jungle is purely there to show us that they're talking about raising an army, which is pure crap because they never do anything with it.
3. It is impossible for Hurley to have stepped on Libby's foot considering he was in the front of the plane and she was in the back. How did she know he was the last one on the plane? How could she have known he was sweaty and had headphones, especially considering he didn't put his headphones on until the plane took off?
4. Claire is allowed to be crazy and annoying in this episode. However, Locke has no excuses.

2.10 The 23rd Psalm

1. Nigeria, Eko and his brother, Yemi. A thug tells Yemi to kill a man, but he won't do it, so Eko does it on his behalf. They ask him his name and call him Mr. Eko, rip his necklace with a cross off, then the thugs take him away with them. From Lostpedia

16. "Yemi, I understand that you live in a world where righteousness and evil seem very far apart, but that is not the real world." Eko
17. Charlie and Eko encounter the smoke monster in the jungle when Charlie climbs tree. Eko is not frightened by it, rather it seems the smoke monster is frightened of him. It appears to read his memories, flashes, people's faces, whispers, then it disappears. From Lostpedia
18. Michael talks to Walt on the Swan's computer right before Jack walks in on him. From Lostpedia
19. Eko is loading the beachcraft with the statues and drugs, Yemi tries to stop him. The military comes in, Yemi is shot and put on the plane, Eko is left behind.
20. "Do not get on that plane, Eko. You saved my life once and now I'm here to save yours." Yemi "Save my life?" Eko "Look, if you get on this plane. If you do this..." Yemi "Do what, Yemi? Are you a prophet now?" Eko From Lostpedia
21. The same beachcraft is the one on the island. Eko finds Yemi's body, with his cross around Yemi's neck. He tells Charlie it's his brother. They burn the plane, he tells Charlie that he is a priest, gives him a statue to make up for the one that he broke.

Questions:

1. Why did the Monster decide to not attack Mr. Eko?

5. "You climb it. What if I don't? You going to beat me with your Jesus stick? I find it a little odd that your scripture stick has dried blood on it." Charlie

Notes:

1. The two brothers that play young Eko and young Yemi are actually brothers in real life.
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.
3. The first time we knew of Yemi was when Locke had a dream about the plane and Boone climbed up into it, discovering Yemi's body inside.
4. Mr. Eko comes face to face with the Smoke Monster and it did not harm him, just as John Locke did.
5. Charlie's story with his brother, Liam, parallels the story of Eko and his brother, Yemi.
6. This is where the Charlie and Claire story really starts to get annoying.
7. The whispers with Mr. Eko and the Smoke Monster, From Dark UFO: (Facing off with Mr. Eko) Who are you and why are you here? Report, report! Saw Charlie with him. There’s Charlie. Go to hell. Steadily. (Within the smoke) He’s trying here. Nothing yet. Now try him from here, okay. Those are the roles (or rules) you accept. Go to hell (said with Eko’s accent). Nine. Where? Seven.He’s hiding something. He’s hiding from me.

23. Kate thinks she's going crazy, that Sawyer is Wayne.
24. "Can you hear me? Sawyer? Wayne? I'm probably crazy and this doesn't matter, but maybe you're in there somehow. But you asked me a question. You asked me why I--why I did it. It wasn't because you drove my father away, or the way you looked at me, or because you beat her. It's because I hated that you were a part of me--that I would never be good. That I would never have anything good. And every time that I look at Sawyer, every time I feel something for him--I see you, Wayne. It makes me sick." Kate

I repeat, do not use the computer for anything other than entering the code." Dr. Marvin Candle

Notes:

1. I was pretty disappointed with what Kate did after waiting two years to find out. She may be a murderer, but she killed her father under some reasonable circumstances. She was made out to be this cold-hearted killer that a US Marshal spent years following, and then all she did was blow up her alcoholic wife-beating father? I mean, come on!
2. There are differences between the original Orientation film and the revised version. From Lostpedia
3. I still don't understand what Edward Mars' personal vendetta against Kate is.
4. This episode is the first time where Kate and the Marshal, Edward Mars, meet.
