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

Questions:

2. Is Richard Malkin really psychic? Was he telling Eko the truth?
3. Was Locke's original dream of the beachcraft meant to lead him to The Pearl?
4. Who occupied The Pearl station?
5. Is it real? Is there a psychological experiment being observed on the people in The Swan station, or is it really on those in The Pearl? Was the information that was recorded used for anything?

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.

Notes:

1. Isaac has a similar reaction to Rose as Richard Malkin did to Claire in Raised By Another.
2. Although this is a filler episode, I really enjoy the Rose and Bernard flashback.
3. Jack tells Kate that he asked her to go with him because the Others don't want either of them, but he is wrong because they are two of the three that the Others take in Live Together, Die Alone.

5. Jack screaming at the line they're not supposed to cross is the craziest Jack ever.

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

15. Eko threatens Yemi, he makes Eko and his men priests, they want 300 Virgin Mary statues.
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

3. Who was talking to Michael on the computer?

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.

   From Lostpedia
   
7. Day 15--They leave the beach. They've been walking. They find water, shelter, food.

9. Everyone finds out that Sun speaks English when she tells them that Jin didn't burn the raft, that instead he was trying to put the fire out, which is why his hands were burned.
10. "We're so intent on pointing the finger at one another that we're ignoring the simple undeniable truth that the problem isn't here, it's there. They've attacked us, sabotaged us, abducted us, murdered us. Maybe it's time we stop blaming us and start worrying about them. We're not the only people on this island and we all know it!" Locke From Lostpedia

Questions:

1. Do Walt and Locke belong on the island?
2. Why does Sun seem surprised to find out what Jin does for her father when she's the reason he's doing it in the first place?
3. How did Locke know that Walt burned the raft?

4. "Why take it out on our best chance of getting off the island?" Yeah, Locke, like you haven't destroyed every other chance of getting off the island since.

Notes:

1. Boone tells Sayid about Shannon's liking to older men who can take care of her, which turns him off from her, but he ends up pursuing her anyway because of Locke nudging Shannon to start over with Sayid.
