I noticed that too. I wonder why they did that? Charlie said the same thing.
I didn't notice, but could it be a reference to the "smoke" monster?
Psalm 231The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Probably. There is actually a pretty decent sized conversation that has taken place over the meaning of that psalm. I'm guessing people hear it so much that some of the words get crossed.
I don't think so....too big of a mistake. Everyone knows the 23rd Psalm, somebody would have caught it.
And just for the record - I know some of you have posted somewhere that the writers say that the island is no religious themed place or a heaven or hell or whatnot - but psalm 23 pretty much sums up at the very least Eko's life on the island after that episode.
ok, everybody but you.
Yes I heard it before but I dont know it word for word nor would I have recognized if 2 words were accidentally switched.ok, everybody but you.
But really, you've never heard this before?
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
aul writes to Titus to inform him of how to keep and run the church at Crete - and island where Titus was left by Paul - possibly by the hand of God - to birth that church for an island of unbelievers who were known to be not in faith. I think. I'm using the internet and my memory to recall something I thought I knew.
True but it could have always been the smoke monster too....which according to theories is controlled by the electromagnetic force.Edited - since it's not spoiler, but speculation.
Didn't Charlie say something along the lines of "most people run" talking about the smoke monster?
If you are headed for LA from Nigeria, I believe going across the Atlantic would be the shorter distance. But I doubt a plane of that size would have the fuel to make the flight.
The plane wasn't that small. It was a twin engine plane that had a decent sized cargo hold. The plane doesn't look much smaller than the plane Amelia Earhart nearly circumnavigated the globe in.The plane could have flown from Nigera to western Africa refueled there and then gone through south and southeast Asia to get to Australia. It's a much longer way to get to North America, but there is more landmass through the area which would allow for more frequent fuel stops. Getting to Hawaii from the South Pacific would be difficult, but they never made it that far.
Eko was Charlie's suplier of drugs. All 300 statues were not on that plane so I am figuring they did a hop skip and a jump technique. Going from Nigeria to say India, to say Indonesia, to say New Zealand, then Austrailia then maybe got lost and wound up on the island. It makes sense to think of it that way rather then saying Nigeria to Austrailia to America. I dont think they were ever headed to America though.
I got the impression the turbalance hit so fast they wouldnt' have a chance for finding a seat, belting in (otherwise dont' see him safely landing in a tree). Rose also mentioned "when he got back" so they should have been sitting toghether.Oh well nothing that really matters just found it odd.
The smoke monster was pretty cool and I do think that it was scanning Eko, not trying to scare him.I think there is more to the whole "good" people thing with the others and why they grabbed "good" people. I actually think the monster is not bad, but checking people that are on the island, i.e. if it had run into a bad person, it might have skewered them.
I can't imagine that the small (relatively speaking) amoung of stuff they had on the plane would allow them to almost go door-to-door to deliver the smack. From what I've ever seen on drug trafficking, they have a lot of stuff that they pass on to someone else to split up--not a few little baggies.While a lot of money by Nigerian standards, the amount they could have fetched for what they had to sell was peanuts to be flying all over the world to sell a few statues at a time. The island and Nigeria are nowhere near each other--in fact they are literally on opposite sides of the world. Europe is quite close to Nigeria, and the East coast of the U.S. would be much easier to get to. I can't even begin to imagine where they were going.
Anyone else see the old man assume Thorburn's Position when Eko shot him? Weird.
There are so many holes in these theories as to how the plane got there. First, hop, skipping, and jumping aroud the southern hemisphere is very unlikely. Eko's brother would not still be on that plane. He was dead the moment it took off, either by the military's bullets or Eko's friends would have whacked him. There is no way they go landing in 10 different countries with a stiff on board. Secondly, the plane still did have a lot of fuel on board for Eko to torch it the way he did. Therefore, it could not have travelled too far. There was a theory previously that the island actually moves, I thought it was an absurd theory before but now it seems like a plausible theory. Or the Oceanic flight was a lot more off target than originally believed.
Eko is not a "bad guy" anymore. I think that he always thought of himself as a good person, i.e. not shooting the boy after slicing the two guys, but that he would be dead and possibly his brother if he didn't continue as a warlord type guy. I think when his brother was shot he really changed to a good person.That is why he answered yes to the question of whether or not he was a priest.After he killed the 2 others, he did stop talking for 40 days because he considered himself a priest and even though he did it in self-defense he did it as you said to serve his penitence.
That was my wacko theory after seeing the inside of the hatch. While I dropped the theory after the inside of the hatch was fully mapped, this Nigerian plane storyline is bringing it back as a possibility. Although the "realism" of the story has been put in question with the black cloud in this last episode.
Eko is the yang to Locke's yin. Locke is the Good half (yin), which contains a touch of Evil within it; Eko is the Evil half (yang), which contains a bit of Good.And if my earlier theory pans out (about Locke representing Gilgamesh, and Eko representing his enemy/friend Enkidu), then Eko, alas, will eventually be killed...but not before he and Locke together defeat (or at least face) a common enemy. This has already begun to happen, with the two of them facing down the smoke monster.
I kind of agree, but I thought Endiku and Giglamesh fought each other first.
