So what does everyone have to say about what ABC says about the Three Minutes episode? I think this is seriously going to lead to Charlie's downfall somehow.
Oh I see, everyone wants to read the thread, but nobody wants to reply to it. Real great. What is it about spoiler threads that totally destroys all attempts at any kind of discussion?
I didn't read what ABC said. Had you put it in white text, I would have read it. But I'm too lazy to look it up. My problem with spoilers is they're usually wrong or misleading. And if they're right, I get annoyed cos I prefer to be surprised.
Anyway, been busy on the party thread & myspace. Come join us.
Feh. If that's the way the game must be played, then....
Eko's taking down the church.
And I like being surprised too, but I also like knowing some things in advance because I like to have things to look forward to. I'm okay with knowing little things because then that makes me hunger for the all-important why.
Case in point: the spoiler above is nowhere near as spoilerish unless you know why, and I don't know why, so I'm really anticipating the next few episodes.
that's totally weird, since it isn't even up yet. My guess is Eko has some crisis of faith, which isn't surprising, given his erratic path to enlightenment.
Eko seems to be driven right now by forces outside of himself. I guess what I mean is, he seems to feel some sort of religious obligation that compells his actions. Perhaps information that Michael provides on the Others' activities or intentions shakes his faith in his "religious" island experience, the same way it did for Locke? Maybe we all become privy to the game that's being played and it pisses him off? Maybe I just want to see Eko go all aggro with his Jesus stick on some Other butt?
It seems that Eko has been guilted into faith, from the killing of the pastor in front of him to his brother. Guilt is generally not a good long term motivator nor is is a substitute for faith.
It is possible the Eko's "faith" is tested and his guilt lacks the strength to maintain him. If his guilt is not relieved it could become difficult for him to see a benefit if the true faith is lacking.
Locke, on the other hand, has his mobility as a very strong motivator, as does Rose and her healing. They remember the before, and now the after, and can measure the benefit.
