Lost: 11/1/06

[Demmero]

Anyone else make the connection to the scene where Eko goes to the wreckage and removes the rock blocking the entrance to the plane where his brother's corpse was. And his brother's corpse was gone. Does this remind you of a certain historical figure who also rose from the dead?

Surprised no one mentioned this yet (unless I missed it).

Heh. Nope, never thought of that. I do remember Jack finding his father's coffin and discovering it was empty, though.

I did notice that too. I forgot all about it with Eko's death though

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

Most vexing of all this talk of who is and who is not evil, is the equation of passivity with moral and ethical integrity and evil with resistance and attempts at self determination.

Eko had every right to defend himself – and that included the use of lethal force – against unknown attackers silently kidnapping him. To say that it was wrong for him to defend himself because he did not know they meant him harm is risible.

That is the ethical system imposed upon sheep, pigs and cattle – not humans. To impose such a system on humans is to deliberately denigrate their worth as humans and a tacit creation of slavery.

However, Eko’s reversal from repentant man to unrepentant man was poorly handled by the writers.

Right on all counts.

I thought Eko's departure from the series was unsatisfying. Will they now just gloss over the whole "how did the plane get here" question? I enjoyed seeing Jack apparently come back to his senses and mess with Ben a bit.

And Shannon and Boone were not blood relatives! Its not incest to sleep with your hot step sister.

 

[Arnwyn]

On another note- did anyone else have "Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?" moment when Ben mentioned that it was "no coincidence Juliette resembles your ex-wife" to Jack. Aside from being blondes, I don't see any resemblance between Elizabeth Mitchell and Julie Bowen. I'd certainly never mistake one for the other anyway.

Yes, yes we did.

That was one of my "now the Others are just being stupid" moments.

Right.

Creepy, but not incest.

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

When Charlie, Locke, and Eko emerged from the hatch, my GF had an idea about the whole "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" thing - Charlie couldn't hear, Locke couldn't talk, maybe you could say Eko sort of couldn't see (he kept his eyes closed most of the time).

Yeah, I don't like that Eko died either.

My GF also brought up, when did Sayid and them get back? Or was that at the end of last week - a little section was missing off our tape.

Patch on the monitor looked familiar, though I can't think of who it looked like. Maybe I'm just thinking Number Two from Austin Powers. Remember the glass eye the Tailies found in their hatch? Wonder if it was his...

That never was shown, but the timing works about right for them to have about just showed up, having left the beach where they were on foot.

You didn't see the cup of Starbucks coffee in the background of that shot?

Which again shows they don't have to explain why they don't see another island.
