What did Locke do for a living? I remember the flashbacks where he was working in a cubicle but what was his background? Was he ever in the military or a government agent?

Wasn't it the box company or something like that?

And no, if I'm remembering correctly (as I believe I am), he was never in the military or involved with the government. I believe it was more of a fantasy or dream life... what he wished he could have been.

Things to point out:


1. The images Eko saw in the black smoke were a boy (I think Walt but I can't get a clear screencap yet), Emma (the little girl from the tail section of the plane that was taken by the others), a church, the old man he killed, his brother dead, the Nigerian woman selling the statues, Jesus on a cross.

2. We still don't know why Eko was in Australia in the first place so YAY to another episode flashback episode sometime (hopefully before Season 2 is over).

3. Claire might be getting some of her memory back b/c she remembered Charlie telling her he was a drug addict (I believe before she was kidnapped) so she may be starting to remember more things.

4. During the drug deal, the two men Eko killed were talking & Sayid's name was mentioned.

5. The promo's for next weeks episode look great! "This is OUR Island" was definitely creepy. Those Others are creepy mofo's.

That's exactly what I thought too.

I haven't watched the whole episode yet (I was on the phone during part of it), so someone help me out. I know near the end he SAID he was really a priest.... but was he really? Or do we just not know?

My take on Eko "becoming" a priest, I think he did, BT (TIVO, VCR, whatever ) the eppy as soon as possible. In order to get the plane, Eko force his brother to sign some papers saying that they were priests, so on paper Eko was a priest, but the brother made the comment that he would never BE a priest. Remember, Eko got into that life (Killing the old man), to save his brother and in the end, Eko was not able to save him at all. When the military mistook Eko as a real priest and the death of his brother...my take is that Eko DID become that priest in the end.....

How did Eko save his brother's life? I missed that part.




Eko looks familiar. Was he in any other TV shows or movies?

The thugs came to the villages when Eko and his brother were children, they pulled "little Eko", shoved a gun in his hand and almost forced him to kill the old man. Seeing the hesitation and the thugs getting more aggressive, Eko took the gun out of "little Eko's" hand and killed the old man instead. The thugs took Eko

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje he stared in "Oz" and several small roles in movies.

Was the "this is OUR island" voice the same voice that was the narrator in the recap hour of Lost?

1) I just rewatched the episode (I'm a VCR kinda girl)...how could you make out what was in the black smoke? Could you pause it and watch it frame by frame? I tried to slow it down enough but could see nothing.

4) You're right, in the drug deal scene, the younger drug dealer (who says all of 3 words) *DOES* say "Sayid"....good call!

5) In the Canadian "next week" promo, we did not get a "This is OUR island scene", instead it showed Jack and Locke talking about how Michael took the gun and is beyond reason and Locke is saying 'who are we to tell people what they can and can't do?"
Who says "This is OUR island". The passengers or the OTHERS?

Did they ever say what Eko's brother's name was? I wonder if it is Aaron? After all, Eko seemed really taken with that name when Claire told her that that was the name of her baby.

As for Eko, I think Eko that until this episode, that Eko was a "priest in name only", as he possessed the papers that his brother signed (under duress) ordaining Eko to be one. However, now that he knows (and has the physical proof of his brother's body) that his dealings caused his brother's death, I think he decided in the moment after cremating his brother to "embrace the priesthood for real", as it were.

You have to go frame by frame to see the images. It's easier on a computer than on TV. Of course, if you have TiVo, you might be able to make them out.

Eko's brother's name is Yemi. Yemi might be a version of Aaron but I can't be sure of that.

Finally, when Charlie was singing that song by The Kinks to Jin, the title of the song is oHe's Evil. With the way the writers of the show are & how they don't put things in there for no reason, I am apt to think that the song title indirectly refers to Eko or Charlie himself.

DHARMA is actually an acronym. On one of the podcasts, it was said that DHARMA is actually an acronym but we still don't know for what.
