LOST - Guess who is off the island
Big time spoiler time folks… read on, and get your kleenex…
It has been all but confirmed that Episode Five, "The Cost of Living", will be the last we see of Mr. Eko for now. I’m kind of embarressed because Eko did not make my death-watch, so I guess I won’t be saying "I told you so" anytime soon. This officially closes the book on the tailies as contributing any major characters. Pity. (Unless you want to count Bernard, which, I’d rather not.)
First of all, here is the info that starts the speculation, from Ausiello at tvguide.com:
Next week, a major character (as in a series regular) whose name is not Sawyer will join Boone, Shannon, Ana Lucia and Libby in the big island in the sky. And you’re not going to believe who it is. I won’t believe it until I see it with my own eyes.
Here is the evidence:
1 - A source close to Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje says he has not been in Hawaii for several weeks. LOST crews are currently filming episodes for after the break.
2 - Adewale is scheduled to appear on Regis after the episode airs. The tried and true resting place for LOST deceased.
3 - Adewale got a ticket for driving without a license and being rude to a cop. Everybody knows if you have a run in with the law your off LOST.
4 - Access Hollywood learned from an indirect incounter with Adewale (see here) that a major twist was coming in Eko’s story.
5 - Anybody who head-butts Locke deserves to die. (Okay that is just my personal opinion… the rest is true.)
So let me be the first to say I’m absolutely convinced this is a fact and goodbye mr. Eko.
Noooooo, Eko is one of my favorite characters. He better go out like a bad ass.

maybe he isnt dead, maybe he is captured by the others. if any show has more twists and turns its Lost. or maybe he found a way off the island. cuz those sinners need a preist. lol :’( i miss him already.
Comment by Ryan — October 25, 2006 @ 8:00 pm
Doc Arzt, you cannot make assumptions like that. Ekos traffic charges were dropped because it was proved that he had a driving liscense, also when someone said there was a big twist in his story, that by no means, means his death is coming up. Maybe the twist is somthing completely unrelated, like he is present is one of the other character’s flashbacks or he is connected to the others, for example. And when you say that he not in Hawaii, its because hes gone to visit one of his friends whois in a LA breast cancer appeal. LA is close to Hawaii and he will most likely be back soon. Also the lost crew may be filming other characters at the moment, so Adewale is isn’t needed.
Also what is Regis?
Comment by Leo Smith — October 25, 2006 @ 8:06 pm
Nope. Not happening. It’d really ruin the upcoming two episodes where EKO is “battling with is inner demons”. The synopsis are already out and listed. Try again.
Comment by Jrenda — October 25, 2006 @ 8:08 pm
Yeah Ryan, keep up the optimism, they would not kill off the only priest on the island, also Eko is such a bad-ass character, they couldn’t afford to lose him.
Comment by Leo Smith — October 25, 2006 @ 8:10 pm
Wow. I can’t believe people don’t believe this. Everything adds up. We know someone’s dying, because Ausiello is pretty accurate, and they have Eko booked for Regis and Kelly the day after which is the biggest judge of who’s dying. They wouldn’t have some random person dye, then have Adawale on Live.
Comment by Davis — October 25, 2006 @ 8:12 pm
What are regis and kelly?
Comment by Leo Smith — October 25, 2006 @ 8:15 pm
Here’s why I don’t believe it.
A) All your reasons have nothing to do with the show only the actors.
B) It’s already been stated that the former starswho “got in trouble with the law” were already planned to leave the show before their “troubles
C) Here the synopsis for next weeks (11.1.06) episode:
“A delirious Eko wrestles with past demons; some of the castaways go to the Pearl station to find a computer they can use to locate Jack, Kate and Sawyer; Jack does not know who to trust when two of the Others are at odds with each other.”
Be tough to pull that off if he’s dead.
Comment by JRenda — October 25, 2006 @ 8:40 pm
But the episode where he supposedly dies IS the one where he wrestles with his inner demons! When I saw his condition, and saw the episode was a Eko Flashback.. my first thought was “he’s dead” and he has the “wrestle the demons”. It was obvious to me.. now that I know someone dies, there seems little doubt about it.
However, for some reason, I don’t think it will be that obvious…
Yes, he could die, he could become an Obi-Won for all we know…
but if it’s truly a shocker, and the character is NOT sawyer.. then perhaps it’s Jack.
Chew on this.. why would the island have Jack save Eko if he’s going to die anyway. Despite it making obvious sense.
Comment by Tom — October 25, 2006 @ 8:45 pm
No the episode someone dies in is tonight. Eko meets is demons next week.
Comment by JRenda — October 25, 2006 @ 8:51 pm
First off… the ticket thing is just deadpan humor. I reported on Adawale being let off several months ago. Second, Jack, Sawyer, and Kate are not possible because they are in the officially released synopsis for episode six which also features Locke and Desmond, if your wondering. I still stand by my prediction that Kate making a choice isn’t going to bode well for either her or the guy she chooses, but that is purely speculation. Everything else points to Eko. Read the accesshollywood link and you’ll REALLY see where I am coming from.
Comment by docarzt — October 25, 2006 @ 8:51 pm
I believe it. I mean, now that Dr. Jackers is a captive of the others, who is going to patch up the polar-bear mangled Eko? Over with the others, Jackers is probably going to work on Colleen (?).
Besides, Now that Locke is back in touch with the Island, who needs another spiritual leader?
Comment by Erin — October 25, 2006 @ 8:53 pm
Well thank god its NOT paulo or nikki!! I already love them. Can you tell I’m being sarcastic.
I want them both in body bags.
Comment by EHH — October 25, 2006 @ 8:53 pm
I’ve got to clear up one more thing.. the episode where Eko supposedly dies IS the one where he wrestles with his demons.. but isn’t it these episodes of closure when the characters dies?
Don’t you all remember that both Shanon and Ana Lucia died in their flashback episode? That they died after “wresting with their inner demons?” It’s often said that the characters die once they have closure to their story. All logic points to towards echo…
Not being on the island COULD mean something, the taffic violation means nothing. It’s the SHOW. He makes peace with his inner struggles and meets his brother.. the end…
However, this show isn’t always logical…
Comment by tom — October 25, 2006 @ 8:53 pm
EHH — I couldn’t agree with you more! I hate them just for the fact that they are suddenly part of the in crowd, just emerging out of the background like that. Sooooo annoying!
Comment by Erin — October 25, 2006 @ 8:57 pm
Leo, you don’t know who I am? You don’t watch my show? (Let Wiki show the way! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_with_Regis_and_Kelly)
Anyways, sucks that Eko is going, I liked the character on so many levels!
Comment by Regis — October 25, 2006 @ 9:08 pm
For some reason still doubt it will be Echo, even with your points. some of them have merit. Most are just based on interviews their actors have scheduled. In a few interviews it’s stated that the death will throw everyone for a loop and most likely bring some to tears. While Eko is major I think they’re hinting at someone that has been on the show longer. If I were to guess, which I hate to do since the moment you do you’re proven wrong have the time, I would say, Hurley. or maybe Charlie.
Comment by JRenda — October 25, 2006 @ 9:09 pm
just wnted 2 say that this ‘jrenda’ person doesn’t have a clue what he/she is talking about. Here are my reasons-
A)So what if the reasons have something to do with the actors, surely they are the people we need to talk to, the people who know what’s going to happen, seeing as they will be acting what’s going to happen.
B)Exactly, if they get in trouble after they are planned to leave the show for their troubles, what are the chances that it’s because they’re planned to leave the show?!
C) So what if that’s the synopsis? Ever think that while Eko is wrestling with his inner demons he might die? Enough said now, go back to your negative thinking.
Comment by Mwahahaha — October 25, 2006 @ 9:38 pm
Eko will not die, Ausellio said you won’t believe who is going to die, therefore it will be really unexpected. It will be someone who has been on since the first season, someone who isn’t wounded (like Eko), it won’t be kate, jack or sawyer (because they are down for the next few episodes). It is more likely to be hurley or charlie, as Ausellio said; you won’t believe it, and you won’t believe it if hurley dies. But since Eko is wounded you could believe it if he dies, so therefore he won’t die.
Comment by Leo Smith — October 25, 2006 @ 9:46 pm
can I just say that I would love for it to be Sayid, since I predicted this on http://www.thetailsection.com/lost_news/lost_season_three_deathwatch.php
Now that raises another point… Michael Perrineau made the rounds shortly after two for the road. Maybe Mr. Eko goes dark-side on us and kills Sayid. That would be pretty crazy.
Comment by DocArzt — October 25, 2006 @ 10:01 pm
Wow, what a big waste of speculation. “If he dies, he dies.” It worked for Apollo Creed, it works for Eko. I hope the Jesus stick survives.
Comment by JoefromUtah — October 25, 2006 @ 10:03 pm
I can see Eko dying based on DocArzt’s points, but I really hope he isn’t the character to go. He’s the only tail section survivor in the main cast left and the only black character in the main cast (now that Michael and Walt have left the island), and his deep character adds a lot to interactions. Plus, he’s a badass. I could see him dying before the end of the series since he’s done so many evil things in the past, but to kill him off now seems too soon.
And as Leo Smith said, it wouldn’t be surprising if he did die based on his condition seen in “Further Instructions.” Perhaps it’s a swerve into making us think it’s Eko? However it is, it will probably be a guy since they killed off three female main characters last season.
Sawyer, Jack, Locke, and Ben are ruled out, I think, since they’re all in the description for episode 6. Desmond is unlikely because he just got his powers, and the story with Penelope is unresolved. Charlie is rumored to be the flashback character for episode 8 so I doubt it’ll be him (although the episode could be Desmond’s since the only evidence for it being Charlie’s is the fact that two Brits got casted).
Which leaves…Eko, Jin, Sayid, and Hurley
Eko’s dying I talked about earlier. Jin dying would be really sad, but I doubt it’ll be him since he’s supposed to learn more English this season and the identity of the father of Sun’s baby is supposed to be developed further. Sayid would make sense given the earlier prediction of his death (perhaps he sacrifices himself to save Jin or Sun? Boone’s ghost said Sayid was taking care of them). Hurley would be a big surprise since he’s the main comedic relief in the show, but it would be odd that the Others just released him for him to just die.
Comment by Joel — October 25, 2006 @ 10:11 pm
Can’t believe they will kill Eko (And your reasons do make me think they will kill him off) I mean with him gone there are few other characters I enjoy on the show. What makes matters worse is that this will make Lost go downhill even more. The show just hasn’t been like it used to be and killing Eko is going to make it worse. It also pisses me off that uselsess characters like Charlie, Claire, Nikki, and Paulo will still live. I think this death will have a negative effect on the show.
Comment by Tabula — October 25, 2006 @ 11:11 pm
sayid better not die. or charlie, or hurley or jin.
Comment by sam — October 25, 2006 @ 11:28 pm
it would make sense that he battles his inner demons and then comes to peace with himself… then, don’t ask me how, but he’ll die. hasn’t everyone that’s died so far had a resolution of sorts right before their death?
FLIP SIDE!
i would admit though that it would be pretty cool to have someone else die. this would be a splendid foiler if we all keeping thinking it’s eko, when it isn’t him at all!
Comment by Jeff — October 25, 2006 @ 11:39 pm
Maybe he does die, but that’ll suck really badly. Mr. Eko is awesome and he knows all about the cloud, so if he does die i sure hope he would let someone else know about it, but i guess since its Lost noone will be told.
Comment by Ryan — October 26, 2006 @ 12:45 am
charlie saw the cloud as well. he was in a tree near eko.
Comment by sam — October 26, 2006 @ 12:46 am
Someone said earlier in the comments that the actor who plays Michael made rounds after Michael killed the two tailies. Maybe Eko doesn’t die, but instead goes back to his pre-priest self and kills someone? That would be a lot more emotional than Eko dying, in my opinion.
Comment by Chris — October 26, 2006 @ 1:31 am
Eko dying would be horrible, he is my favorite character but since there is so much talk about him dying and the character who dies is unexpected I highly doubt it is Eko. Plus the guy who plays him could be on Regis the next day because the episode the night before was his flashback and he got alot of screentime. I think that they will kill Sayid, or Charlie. But if they do I will never watch the show again. They kill way to many people on this show!
Comment by nea — October 26, 2006 @ 1:39 am
What’s interesting is that in this week’s official Lost podcast Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, the actor who plays Eko, is the person being interviewed. And in it, Adewale talks specifically about the unpredicatable nature of the show and how you never know when you’re going to get killed off. I don’t know how far in advance they record the podcasts, but he really didn’t seem to be speaking as if he knew his character was going to die. Though he did say that this season there’s going to be a lot more battling with demons and foes, which kinda suggests that there’s going to be some more deaths. Sadly i think everything points to Eko dying, but i really hope it’s going to be someone else as he’s one of the best, most intriguing characters on the island.
Comment by James — October 26, 2006 @ 2:15 am
What an absolute shame that would be - he’s such a great presence on the screen to watch and a great substitute for Locke last season when John when all soft.
I was hoping that Eko and Locke and Sayid would go off to save their captured friends! I guess the rumours may be true - I can’t believe it!
Comment by Johnny Ru — October 26, 2006 @ 2:57 am
Tabula–Charlie and Claire are nowhere near being useless, espescialy compared to Nikki and Paulo who just spring up out of nowhere merely for some added sex appeal. Claire and Charlie have been here since season one, and are two of the most realistic characters on the island who have had an apparant love connection since day one. And now that Ben has a tumor, I think things might just get switched up a little bit.
Comment by Courtdizzle — October 26, 2006 @ 5:01 am
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is on the credits list for this episode on ABC Medianet’s site:
http://www.abcmedianet.com/ams/assets/both/2006/010/23/102306_09.html
“I Do” - Jack makes a decision regarding Ben’s offer, Kate feels helpless when it looks like an angry Pickett is going to make good on his threat to kill Sawyer, and Locke discovers a hidden message that may guide him through the next steps of his journey to unlocking the secrets of the island, on “Lost,” WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
“Lost” stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Mr. Eko, Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Henry Ian Cusick as Desmond, Emilie de Ravin as Claire, Michael Emerson as Ben, Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Daniel Dae Kim as Jin, Yunjin Kim as Sun, Evangeline Lilly as Kate, Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet, Dominic Monaghan as Charlie and Terry O’Quinn as Locke.
Comment by dhinge — October 26, 2006 @ 5:19 am
Weren’t both Cynthia Watros and Michelle Rodriguez credited for the episode after they died for their two seconds onscreen as corpses?
Comment by Nicholas Ryzyi — October 26, 2006 @ 6:06 am
I agree it’s Mr. Eko. I guessed this a few minutes ago after seeing the preview for next week. He and Locke look like they get into it, and you hear a slicing sound and Mr. Eko jumps sort of. Looks like he’s gonna get stabbed. Too bad. I’d have liked to see more of his story.
Comment by frank — October 26, 2006 @ 6:10 am
Unless there is a huge misdirection thing going on, the final answer about who dies on Lost is about who appears on Regis the next day.
Eko played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is a goner. He is scheduled for Regis and Kelly, like every other killed off character, the following Thursday.
for the record, I do think there’s a beginning and end, but I think the writers figured on having more than Bernard left of the Tallies. Damn Others.

I think Eko will go “Lord of the Flies” and start off into the jungle as a warlord again. Before he does though, he is going to kill Claire, leaving Charlie to raise her baby. Locke goes on a mission quest to kill Eko
Besides, Clair is a lame character…..
obviously that is pure speculation
Comment by redux — October 26, 2006 @ 10:04 am
I must admit these whole “Regis” thing is pretty convincing, but Eko?
I mean, they said you wouldnt believe who is going to die… and Eko is a bit… obvious. On the other hand he’s not really needed anymore now that “Locke-Man” is back (god i’m glad). He even has his own mysterious, slightly crazy precog to keep him company (Desmond), so Eko would be a bit too much “Faith-power” …even for Lost.
Comment by Zakiel — October 26, 2006 @ 12:33 pm
I just watched the promo for next week, and at one point it looks like Eko is stabbed from behind so it is likely that he dies. However I think he does not as the producers would not be so stupid as to show us who dies in th promo. The promo will make everyone think it is Eko, but in the end it will be someone completely unexpected. Eko is going to have a huge plot twist, that by no way means his death. As shown in the promo, it looks like he has turned evil.
Comment by Leo Smith — October 26, 2006 @ 1:07 pm
All signs would definitely seem to point towards Eko buying the farm next episode, but I think that is very unfortunate. Unlike some of the other main characters (Jack in particular), it seems to me that Eko has so much more interesting potential backstory. He’s an incredible actor, he’s a ‘badass’ as everybody has pointed out, and I think his religious faith is something that sets him apart from Locke’s mysticism.
I will be very sad to see him go, and I agree that although it will be shocking from an ‘impact on the show’ perspective, it is hardly shocking from a ‘who would be most likely to die next’ perspective. I mean, he just got mauled by a polar bear. He’s not exactly in good health at the moment, and with Jack on the other island, he’s not receiving the best of medical attention.
Comment by Kilroy — October 26, 2006 @ 1:43 pm
Maybe someone doesn’t die… they’ve been good about misinformation.
It certainly sounds like Eko, but it COULD be that Eko has a major change of character.
You know, there are certain characters that just don’t stand out… like Bernard and Rose.. they must have a purpose down the road.
Comment by Tom — October 26, 2006 @ 3:29 pm
It’s not just over traffic charges. I’d heard a rumor that he was unpopular on-set for being confrontational, and in Kristen’s chat this morning she said “The only reason they’d kill sex-AAA is because… edited because I can’t say that here.”
One of the most frustrating things about Hollywood is that, whenever decisions are made for personal reasons, we’re not allowed to know about them. So if they kill Eko off because the actor who played him was an unbearable douche, they’re just going to smile and lie through their teeth and say it was all part of some plan, or how “anyone can die at anytime” on the show. I would love for somebody to just come out with it and tell us what’s going on, because I’m sick of this shit affecting the show.
Comment by Turtle Power — October 26, 2006 @ 4:58 pm
The death of Sayid fits best for me, although I will be MAJORLY pissed if thats the case…
- hes an original main character
- his background story appears complete
- has been quiet recently (shock value)
Also he went on the offensive against the others and that storyline hasn’t been followed up yet, this would be a way to include the tragedy without relying on the overused accidental death scenario.
Comment by Josh — October 26, 2006 @ 4:58 pm
Eko isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Trust me. As for Charlie? Well, let’s just say Eko isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Comment by Pat Twist — October 26, 2006 @ 7:27 pm
@ Pat Twist - where’s your source?
Comment by Turtle Power — October 26, 2006 @ 8:31 pm
Here’s the problem:
If it wouldn’t have been leaked that someone was going to die, it would be a shock.
Since they said someone will die, everyone assumes Eko, because he was rather gnawed on by mr. fluffy white bear.
So, if Ausiello meant the fact that anyone dies came as a shock to him, it’s concievable that it’s Eko.
But, if he meant that now that we know there will be a death, Eko is a very obvious choice, because of said gnawed-on condition.
It was not a shock when Anna died because everyone hated her and looked for every reason to think she’s going. The shock came from the fact that a fellow Lostie did her in. Shannon was equally predictable as her flashback also occrued the night someone was due to die.
If it is Eko next Wednseday who dies, then it will be 3 times in a row that someone dies during their flashback (Boone died during a Locke flashback). It’s very predictable at this point for Eko to die. To truly shock us, it would have to be someone totally out of left field.
There’s nine choices from series regulars after eliminating all the people listed in future episode descriptions: Eko, Sayid, Sun, Jin, Hurley, Charlie, Claire, Desmond and Ben/Henry.
Lets not forget that Claire’s and Jin’s backstories are basically done as well as Eko, but any of these characters could be explained off in flashback.
It’s all in the context of what Ausiello said: “Next week, a major character (as in a series regular) whose name is not Sawyer will join Boone, Shannon, Ana Lucia and Libby in the big island in the sky. And you’re not going to believe who it is.”
One thinks first to Eko, based on what we’ve known about character deaths in the past, but also remember that the producers have been very sneaky this year.
It very well may be Eko, but the producers will have lost their edge on sneakiness if so. And it completely defeats the point of meeting new characters in season 2. They were all just pawns? I hope not, but it very well could be.
Personally I’m thinking Claire or Jin.

Comment by english nazi — October 26, 2006 @ 9:36 pm
I doubt it’s either Claire or Jin because of what Island-Boone told Locke in his vision: he made it seem like both of them would be fine for at least a little while. It’s been… like a day since then? I think it’s Eko too. HIS flashback, HIS appearance on Regis & Kelly the next day. Just like Maggie Grace, just like Michelle Rodriguez.
Comment by Turtle Power — October 26, 2006 @ 9:37 pm
In reading through these comments it suddenly hit me:
“Next week, a major character (as in a series regular) whose name is not Sawyer will join Boone, Shannon, Ana Lucia and Libby in the big island in the sky. And you’re not going to believe who it is.”
Folks, Sawyers name is not Sawyer. It’s James. To me, this spoiler sounds like a play on words.
Another way of wording this is:
“Next week, a major character (as in a series regular) whose name is JAMES will join Boone, Shannon, Ana Lucia and Libby in the big island in the sky. And you’re not going to believe who it is.
Now, this would be a shock!

Comment by Chris — October 27, 2006 @ 3:18 am
@ the last two posters —— I don’t think you’ve read the entire quote. It’s very clever that you picked up on the possible trickery through words of saying “someone who is not named Sawyer will die,” and I honestly do mean that because I wouldn’t have thought of that, but right before that quote someone asked if Sawyer would die and Ausiello said “I don’t think it’s Sawyer you have to worry about.” So I don’t think there was any bamboozlement involved. Check out the link and you’ll see what I mean. Whoever gets it, it’s not Sawyer.
Comment by Turtle Power — October 27, 2006 @ 9:13 am
I agree that Eko, unfortunately, is most likely.
If not Eko, most likely IMHO…Ben! Tumor, bad guy…we can still learn about the others without him…Pickett is ready to kill Sawyer in the next episode’s description (maybe Sawyer offs him.) Only thing that possibly refutes this is “Jack responds to Ben’s offer” in the next episode description, but depending on what the offer is, Jack could certainly make a choice even after Ben is gone.
Charlie, who’s dating Evangeline Lilly, is not going anywhere.

Comment by Tom — October 27, 2006 @ 4:41 pm
I agree with the poster that Eko is almost too obvious, I’ve said this myself. However, I’ve also learned that the more we try to overthink, the more confused we make ourselves.
There is an element of the obvious on this show that is overlooked when people thing too much(the Clone theory comes to mind.. dumb dumb!)
Lets look at the hatch.. we’re all trying to figure out what happens when the button isn’t pressed. We read about theories of Satellites that circle the earth every 108 minutes that must be communicated to.. about shifts of magnetic poles… in the end, it was common sense. Yeah, we all have thought about the magnet bringing down the plane… but really… if it’s an electromagnetic station, and the pull on necklesses seems to be stronger as the number approach 0, the discharge of the magnetic core made obvious sense… so did the SUB in the taking of the boat. I kick myself for the obvious.
The one I called was the “fake” door hatch in the others camp… also.. obvious.
When it comes to Eko, I don’t take the “you’re not going to believe who it is”. That would indicate a major character, and a shock. However, maybe the author thought Eko WAS a shock. Because when I think MAJOR, I’m thinking Eko, Locke, Jack, Kate, Sayid, Ben. We know it can’t be Jack(episode 6)
If I were a gambling man(which I’m not) I play the odds on Eko… any other guess would be like betting on the chance of filling an inside straight!

It couldn’t be Locke:
The guy with the eyepatch is on a hidden message that Locke finds in episode 6.

I believe it’s Mr. Eko. And not only b/c of the points made, but because I think that if these character’s have a run in with the law they are gone. Like the producers from LOST are really going to admit that’s the reason, of course they are going to say something like, it was planned BS. I don’t believe that it was planned. I mean look at Libby’s death, why would they have had a flash back of Hurley’s with her in it? There was way more to her story and she was killed off way too early. Now are we ever going to find out what she was doing in that mental hospital with Hurley? Come on ppl, stop being so naeive! If Eko dies, I will be convinced that is the reason.

Honestly I think people have it wrong with the traffic-violation-leads-to-you’re-off-the-island. I think it’s the other way around: they’re told they’re off the show, and they start not driving crazy.
Comment by dhinge — October 29, 2006 @ 4:20 pm
i love eko too, but if someone has to go, i would rather it be him than any of the other leads and i include hurley, charlie, claire, jin, sun, sayid as leads too. they are our people! although he’s a great creep, henry can go. or that juliette chick. or maybe michael will show up and he can die!

In “Other 48 Days”, when the tallies find that bunker, with the box, had the Bible and the radio, they also found a glass eyeball-to Goodwin’s suprise/dismay… must be eyepatch man’s house…
Comment by JStraw — October 30, 2006 @ 4:24 pm
Glass Eye, Eyepatch… yes.. but why did HE edit the video.
I think it’s a recorded message… I don’t think patchy is around.
But what i really want to know is.. what’s the thing that grabbed the pilot in the “pilot”? You know, the smoke monster?
As for death, I would actually LIKE to see sawyer die, but it’s not his time.
Comment by Dude — October 30, 2006 @ 8:12 pm
Ben would really surprise me. It might make a great lead into the forecast Juliet flashback episode after the break (if she is now in charge of the Others). Maybe Locke and Eko try a rescue and end up killing Ben on the main island.
Rousseau or Desmond would be surprising too.
But my bet is on Eko!

I believe this eppy is the last for mr. Eko. But i dont think Eko is the big “shocking” death, because it wont be shocking since we already kind of know. I think there will be another dead, a big one. And maybe this is connected with the “jump the shark” moment. who knows. And they say it is a mjor character and thats not Eko. That is someone who has been on the Island all the time. Someone like locke. I am so glad it is not sawye! =) But what about tumor-guy, henry, thats a posibility! I am so confused.. :S how many of them will die? As long as it is not sawyer I believe this eppy is the last for mr. Eko.

“Whose name is not Sawyer…”
Must be James posing as Sawyer then.

Eko is the obvious choice. So, there would be no surprize if he died. I hate to say it but it will be Syaid. Eko and He are my favorite on the show. Syaid’s story is at a stand still, I don’t think he even had a flash back last year. Now that he is in the upcoming movie Grind House, I feel that he is the surprize of this weeks show. The previews are all about Eko being in danger sooo it’s not him. I hope we are all wrong and it’s Charlie but I have a bad feeling….where’s the kleenx?

ABC said “Jack does not know who to trust when two of the Others are at odds with each other.” I think Ben ends up dead, and Juliet in charge. That would be exciting.
But Eko is still the obvious choice.
Comment by finny — November 1, 2006 @ 12:44 am
You know what? I don’t think it’s Eko that dies, but I do think that he kills someone… a main character.
I don’t think it’s Locke because he’s in episode 6, and I think he’s still the pearl. And from a photo, the pearl people are Locke, Sayid(when did HE get back), Desmond, and the two new people…) So I would consider them safe. Charlie and Hurley are supposed to have centric episodes later this year.
That leaves us with Claire, Aaron, Rose, Bernard,.. and maybe Vincent(if he didn’t leave with Walt and Michael).. or the obvious.. Eko.
I think that the “great moment” for one of the charactors may be Jack getting off the Island. I KNOW that Sawyer and Kate will be there in February… but it’s off that this would happen in a Kate flashback episode.
It’s funny, with all the talk of post break episodes, none of them seem to mention Jack.
Oh, and I’m starting to believe that the “others” are older than we thought… or Younger.. something to do with age…. if it IS a life extention project for say.. coleen.. perhaps the negative side effect is infertility, which would give a reason for a fertility doctor.. and may also explain why they wanted the children.
Comment by Tom — November 1, 2006 @ 6:37 pm
I don’t think Ben dies.. yet… maybe later this season.
Comment by Tom — November 1, 2006 @ 6:38 pm
No I think Eko is not going to die. Remember when Locke talked to the Island and he Boone said there is someone in danger in the airport. Locke pointed at Claire and Charlie and Boone said to Locke = no the’ll be allright… for now … so i’m guessing Charlie or Claire will die, I know it’s a weird choice but h
Comment by Stef — November 1, 2006 @ 8:44 pm
Sorry i’ve just changed my mind. I found this on a website and it’s about the episode:
1) Ben didn’t want Jack to see his xrays.
2) Juliet puts on a very interesting movie for Jack. Starring herself.
3_ As she speaks to Jack personally the video which is muted has her displaying Cue cards. Don’t believe anything I say etc. etc.
4) Ultimately she wants Jack to Operate on Henry and “”Accidently”" kill him.
5) Eko has a little killing spree with a machete so I would say no (This was in response to the question if it was child friendly, non-violent)
6) Eko is killed tonight by the smoke monster
7) He was thrown and slammed into the trees and ground. Moments before he dies he whispers something in Lockes ears. “WE’RE NEXT”

WHO DIED ??? TELL ME PLZ
Comment by Stef — November 1, 2006 @ 9:36 pm
Yeah, Ausiello said the person who dies is “not an Other. Or a female.” Guess Ben lives.
Comment by finny — November 1, 2006 @ 11:41 pm
worst. death. ever. that was the most cop out death ive ever seen on this show. come on. smoke monster follows him around, plays with his head, and then decides to smash him into trees? with pretty weak graphics i might add. very weird.
Comment by frg — November 2, 2006 @ 4:08 am
Eko would not have said “we’re next” he would have said “you’re next” and Locke interpretted “you are” as the group instead of himself.
