Fan reaction to “The Cost of Living”

SPOILERS AHEAD… You’ve been warned.

The producers insist that the death of Mr. Eko in “The Cost of Living” was something that was planned all along, but that’s still not sitting very well with fans of the show. The LA Times has an article about fan reaction to Mr. Eko’s death and people are not too happy about it.

The article goes on to talk about how the actor who plays Mr. Eko, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, views his character, and what he has planned for the future.

What was the plan for Mr. Eko?

Spoilers ahead!

There are a number of stories out this morning after Mr. Eko’s death last night. The New York Post as a some quotes from the producers about Eko’s demise, and MSNBC has an article that discusses Mr. Eko’s impact on the show.

I’m sure this was all planned out in advance, but it sure seems like if someone gets in trouble with the law in real life, their characters aren’t far away from dying on the show.

I told a friend last night that I think Bernard is going to be pretty upset about Eko’s death… After all, he’s the last one from the tail section that hasn’t been killed or captured.

I think it’s also pretty clear that the theory that “Smokey the Cloud” can manifest itself as a real creature, whether it be Jack’s dad, Kate’s horse, Walt, or Eko’s brother Yemi… well, I think that theory just got a lot stronger.

Things you missed in “The Cost of Living”

Here are some of the things you might not have seen in “The Cost of Living”:


  • The song at the funeral was Brenda Lee’s “I Wonder”.

  • In the second scene of Eko stumbling through the jungle, you can see the black smoke in the background for a split second just as he is getting up.

  • The name of the leader of the militia was named Emeka.

And a couple of repeats from previous episodes, mentioned here again in this episode:


  • The “new

A theory about what’s going on with Desmond

What the heck is going on with Desmond? I have an idea, but there are a few theories that I’d like to go over first.

Hurley shot one down right away… Desmond is NOT the Hulk, despite is lack of pants. And thank goodness for that anyway, it would be pretty disappointing for Desmond to go all “Bill Bixby

What is on that video in next week’s Lost preview?

The previews for next week’s show went by pretty quickly, and if you didn’t look too closely, you might have thought there was an alien on the video monitor in the Observation Hatch. Here’s a picture of what they saw.

It sure looks to me like a man with a patch over his eye. Question is, is it one of The Others or someone else?

UPDATE From the comments section, Sthnbelle points out that it’s probably the owner of the glass eye that they found last season.

Things you missed in “Every Man for Himself”

A few things you might have missed in Lost’s 4th episode of Season 3:


  • The Others took a submarine over to get the sailboat, and that submarine is called the Galaga

  • Juliet said, “That’s not how we do it over here, Jack” – which was a hint that they weren’t on the same island as the people from the plane crash

  • Kate’s response to Sawyer when she went back into the cage was “Live together, die alone”, a repeat of what Jack said last season

  • Jack is manipulating Juliet the very same way that Ben Linus (as Henry Gale) tried to manipulate Locke, when he asked who was in charge. Locke didn’t like it when “Henry” did it, and Juliet didn’t like it when Jack did it

  • The mumbled words that Jack was trying to hear in the broken speaker were of two men talking. The words were, “… under control. Yeah? You know what he’s doing to Karl? You know what he’s doing? It was a mistake to bring those two here.”

  • When Sawyer was waking up on the table, one of The Others (“Zeke”, I think) said that they didn’t have any communication for two days after the sky went purple.

  • The car Munson had hidden was in the South Florida area; it’s likely that’s where Sawyer was being held in prison.

What Factions Are There In The Others Camp?

Spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t seen all the shows up to Season 3, episode 2, don’t read this…

Wednesday we’re going to hit the third episode of Season three. We have a pretty good sense there are different factions within The Others camp, but we still don’t know for sure which Others are lined up with each other.

We do have a pretty good hint about Alexandra; she helped Claire escape from The Staff station (the medical facility), and she is trying to figure out what happened to Karl. If she were totally “in line” with whomever is really in charge, she probably wouldn’t have done that either of those things.

Danny and Colleen are pretty chummy and they both seem to be completely on board with whatever Ben says.

Ben has a “I guess I’m not in the book club” and “You never make soup for me” attitude with Juliet, and frankly it’s a little annoying. Ok, we get it! Ben’s being snotty with Juliet. Woop de doo.

From the scene in the book club meeting, Juliet seems pretty darn fed up with people cow-towing to Ben.

…And that’s just this group of people at the Hydra station. There might even be “Other Others” elsewhere on the island.

Anyway, the thing that’s a little creepy about how Juliet is handling the whole thing is that while she’s not in Ben’s pocket, she sure is carrying out the orders. I thought it was a little disturbing when Sawyer said that Juliet would have “no problem” shooting Kate.

Lost has a habit of introducing characters that aren’t exactly what they first appear to be. Is Juliet, who seems sympathetic now going to turn out to be a really nasty character? Is Ben going to turn out to be better than he appears to be right now?
