Same. It is so bittersweet.

Me too... It reminds me of my little brother

Yes I know. I heard it was for three reasons. He didn't want to do it anymore, He wanted more money and both of his parents died in the UK. He went back to the UK to bury them. I get the feeling he wanted more money to pay off the expenses of his parents funerals.

BayareaGuy06 They asked him to guest star in season 6 but he wanted way too much money.

Not only he was killed off but he was also a forgotten character for the rest of the series!!!

@@andybrookes4721 yh your right

CosmicUndeadElf The actor wanted to be killed off so that he could return to his family in London.

@@michaelafleming5084 why

@@indomiepanggang4258 his parents had died in a car crash sadly

No doubt, his role was really good, Terry O Quinn and Matthew Fox were also stupendous but Adewale was the character that made the most impact on myself in such a short time, to imagine such a life, such a conviction to do the right thing, such a mix of a big strong guy with a kid still missing his childhood and his younger brother, Mr. Eko had one of the strongest backgrounds, had to deal with death a lot more times than everybody else. This is all coming from someone who is atheist, but his conviction is something I gotta respect, he summarised it all in the best way, he didn’t had a good life but he made the best to do good, the perfect example of a good person going bad and walking out before is too late to finally fix the bad he did. RIP Mr Eko

I'm not sure that was a flashback. I think that was Eko's flash sideways. He was the first to Move On.

@@ZuluRomeo that’s a good theory

oh man my heart@@ZuluRomeo

I know your comment is old but I think what you wrote is so true and nicely put. When my time comes, I hope I'm at peace like Mr Eko was with no regrets........

I agree. Mr Eko simply stopped blamming himself, that was how he got "freed" from his past and from the island.

Yes. MIB is looking for a loophole, and since he believes every man is corruptible and bad by nature, he is looking for a good person (Loophole) in order to kill Jacob and leave the island. Good people are easy to manipulate because they are naive. Eko did not regret about what he did, so he is expendable. He is not the right person for MIB's purposes. Locke is the Loophole.

ariel cid Well technically I would say Ben is the loophole since he’s the one who kills Jacob. Locke is already dead by the time Jacob dies

Eko figured out the true power of the Island, when he was at the creek drinking, after the polar bear attack. The power is in the water, notice he’s healed by drinking and applying it to his wounds. Then MiB shows up, Eko is about to confront MiB, then Locke interrupts, in true Lost fashion. Sawyer was healed by the water also when he was shot and captured by the tail section survivors. But he’s too busy flirting, to notice.

After 11 years someone saw this comment

I know your comment is old, but Locke lied to Sayid about what Eko whispered in his ear. Eko actually said “I saw the Devil”, and for some reason Locke lied and said that Eko said “we’re next”.

​@@RanaltheBeetleYes makes no sense in any way.

I highly doubt that the writers planned the church scene at this point. Also use logic instead of trying the build an in-story narrative. The actor wanted out of the show.

You aren’t gonna mention Libby? I’ve never looked at Michael the same way ever again

Fuck ana lucia, hated that bitch more than anything, glad she got killed.

Ana lucia sucked and im so glad she died

Henry Brekk nah shannon was a bitch

Both actors had problems and had to leave the show. I think Eko’s parents died so he wanted to leave... and Ana Lucia got a DUI in Hawaii so the show dropped her. Both characters were supposed to be around for a longer period of time.

Darsh same here he was one of my favourite characters since Lost Season 2 along with Ana, Libby and Mr Eko. Lucky Desmond lived. Because he's my favourite as well.

LOL i didnt understand why Locke said that

how do u know he said that?

@@VCYT You can hear him say it to Locke. Listen closely

@@dirtyrot10scoundrel no he doesn't say that

actually he does say 'i saw the devil' and its been confirmed by the creators also

He stopped acting for them so thats why he wasnt there. Its a TV show boy!

Morality: Good vs Evil all the philosophical concepts

What truth?

@@Dellen-Roger In what Eko said. Think of it like this: by the time Locke, Sayid, Desmond and the others got to Eko, the Smoke Monster was long gone. In other words, no one else saw it, therefore no one knew what caused Eko’s death. If Locke had told them what Eko actually said (“I saw the Devil”), they probably wouldve been more frightened because they knew Eko was a man of faith, so for them to find him mortally wounded and him to say something like that, it wouldve made them wonder what exactly is on this island.

​@@RanaltheBeetleNo thats BS as he could ve said he simply didnt understand. Dk why he was lying about it that way but it doesnt make sense. So do you think when he said that they r next they ld be less afraid as if he ld ve said Eko saw the devil? 😅 Get it straight!

@@stillgotyourmomYes they would be less afraid because at that point, Eko’s death wouldve been attributed to anything. It wouldnt have nearly been as mysterious. If Locke told them the truth about what Eko said, it wouldve put some serious thought into what exactly could be on the island. Eko was a man of faith. He would never lie about anything like that, especially because he was always repenting for his past mistakes and he wanted to become a better person. Locke lied on purpose. Why? I couldnt tell you. “Get it straight!” Lol I could say the same to you

@@RanaltheBeetle For you in your world 😂 Clear its more menacing to say "you r next" referring to death than say someone saw the devil when it doenst mean that its life threating for the rest. Think wisely my fräänd

Nah he saved him from the polar bear, Eko had to face down his demons before he died

Bro I’m a big brother myself, and my lil bro is the most loyal and trusting in my whole family, hes never burned me the way the rest of my family has. When I saw Eko walking with yemi as kids. It reminded me of my baby brother. Shit hit so hard. Unfortunately I don’t live with him anymore and we’ve grown apart due to family issues. We used to be so close.

@@MasterAce501 I'm actually the youngest child in my family but I tent to get emotional whenever I see a protagonist's sibling dying in movies or shows lol

And he was

Honestly after rewatching this scene with the knowledge of what the smoke monster really is I think that Eko was killed exactly BECAUSE he had changed so much that he was the most likely canditate to replace Jacob. It's not that Eko didn't change. It's just that he doesn't regret the path that lead him there which is actually quite admirable. Yes he did evil things but he started that life to spare his brother the same fate and in the end it lead him to a place (the island) where he could finally let go of that criminal lifestyle that he himself hated and seek for atonement. I truly think Eko at this point would've been the perfect choice as guardian. And because of that, Smokey killed him whereas when they first came face to face, Smokey still couldn't decide if that guy was a threat to his plans or if he could perhaps turn him to the dark side since Eko clearly had that in him too.

***** I don't understand.. how can Smokey kill candidates who are likely to replace Jacob? In Ab Aeterno, Jacob wanted people he brought to the Island to know the difference between "right and wrong" while everything starts anew for them on the Island. So my sense is that if Smokey tests/discovers a candidate who doesn't know that difference and hence is less likely to replace Jacob, the rule could be that he could kill him/her. And knowing that difference is pretty straightforward in Lost - you do something grander, find yourself, etc coz of the island and the place you are in. Instead Eko was stubborn. (I'm not judging whether Eko became better because in my personal everyday life bias, he became better or saw himself and his past actions more clearly, but it seems that the Island has rules that becoming better is fairly straightforward, i.e. one becomes better when they find their bigger purpose on the island, such as Jack saying "this is what I'm supposed to do" or Sawyer maturing for Juliet and settling for a while. If a candidate doesn't need the Island, i.e. Jacob to Kate - "because you became a mother", their name will be crossed out and their candidacy will be invalidated. Eko invalidates his candidacy here.

Actually they killed him off because the actor did not want to be in the show anymore. Damon says so himself in a video.

Wrong. The writers had big plans for Eko but the actor didn’t want to be on the show anymore. That’s why he was killed off. Sad really.

Sean he did but his adopted parents had just both died so probably needed to be at home for a while instead

Because he refused to repent. He couldn't be manipulated by MIB's illusions so MIB killed him.

He wasn’t a candidate, just a person of interest

Shut up.

Shit didn't know that

I don't remember seeing Eko's name in the caves but if he was there then I can see few explanations. I don't think all the names were Candidates. We can assume that MiB copied the list from Jacob's lighthouse but no one said that all the names there stood for Candidates: they were just people that Jacob was observing. Also, mind that some survivors were marked by Jacob AFTER the crash, like Hurley and Sayid. Maybe Eko wasn't marked yet.

no, he was boring and useless and entire series said brother !brother!

he wanted to leave the show because of a sickness of his mom... so they had to kill him off.

@@_pax19_ that and he didn’t like living Hawaii. Didn’t mean to word it that way but you are correct

Clorox Kun John 3:05

I'm not sure if he went into the deal with that intention. If so, it wouldn't make much sense why he would bother bargaining down the price of the drugs? I believe the turn was when one of the dealers said something to the effect of, "It's true what they say about you. You have no soul." Following that insult, Eko murders them both.

He was a druglord for years. He had to ask for repentance, not for the smokey of course, but to god. The refusal ruined the character just before his death...
