PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"All God's Children" |
Holy religious overtones Batman.I haven't quite gotten my head around an analysis yet but the imagery cannot be ignored. I was reminded so many times last night of Madonna's Like a Prayer video. I know that sounds wierd but she could have come tromping through there at any moment in her black lingerie and fit right in. And Eko's reference to the gold toothed man that saved him obviously refers more to Eko's life change than merely being pushed out of the plane. And have I said before that I love the guy who plays Eko. He was my favorite in Oz. So creepy yet so wonderful. Rolly Sig Shop

I think he just meant he saved his life......because if he did not push him from entering the plane then he would have died with them......we still don't know what happened afterwards....but wouldn't the people know that he was not a priest but a thug or whatever...

Did you recognize Micheal from Oz as well? He was the guy in the wheel chair. The narrator.

9. "RE: Adewale" |
Little bit of trivia culled from imdb.comHas a masters in Law from the University of London, but took a different career path when bitten by the acting bug. Is perhaps best known for his role as the cunning, fierce super-criminal Adebisi on "Oz" (1997). He went from playing Ernie Hudson's good friend, the guide Kahega to Hudson's Capt. Munro in "Congo," to playing his enemy, the sociopathic Adebisi to Hudson's hard-headed Warden Glynn in "Oz." He has Nigerians parents Born on the same day as the Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley. The son of immigrants from Nigeria, he has played almost entirely African characters despite having been born and raised in England. He usually employs a deep, Nigerian timber while acting, while off-screen he has a very British, somewhat Cockney accent. He is fluent in several languages including Italian, Yoruba, Swahili, and (of course) English. He can "get along" in a few other languages, including French. He is a Buddhist and admitted that he had to chant more than usually while playing the brutal character of "Majestic" in Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005). I think it would be weird to see him speak with a cockney accent. Rolly Sig Shop

I'm not convinced that he would just start a new life as a priest right then. For one, I don't think it would be that easy for him to do. The military might not know he's not a priest, but the villagers that attend the church sure do. They wouldn't just accept him. And for two, I've seen nothing to suggest he wants to change at this time. I don't think that seeing his brother shot was enough. If there's one thing I've learned about Lost, it's that it's unpredictable. Eko going and being a priest right away is too predictable. There's going to be a lot more to his story than that, methinks.

i think the whole jist of his flashbacks was that he never did want to be the person everyone thought he was. and i'm not so sure that drug lord/gangbanger to priest is very predictable. i'm not sure how it could be anything other than an immediate change...those aren't professions you gradually transition to and from.

I also think it was just a reference to the fact that Mr. Gold Tooth (I wonder if he is related to Flavor Flav) pushed him out of the plane.
