One step forward, two steps back

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Mr.Eko is bound to be a favorite character of many losties. Regardless of what he did in the real world the island has seemed to be a fresh start for many of the survivors. He is haunted by a vision of his dead brother the priest and still suffering the effects of the bear attack along with the hatch explosion he takes off into the jungle heading for the plane where he left his brothers body. This ties in with Locke and his group of explorers who decide to head back to the station known as "The Pearl" to try and find an active computer or to see if there is anyway of communicating with other stations on the island. In the pearl we catch a glimpse of a one eyed man in another station but realising that he is being watched he shuts off the camera. Surely more to come from that story. If I am to have one gripe about lost it is the loose ends that really need to be tied up at some stage. We have seen characters being killed in the past who seem to have pivotal roles such as Libby and Anna Maria, cut down before they need to be. It does add to the suspense as no one is safe but why bother with the back story at all. And here's the spoiler. Why kill Eko? If there is a character on the island who was willing to follow his faith and give everyone else hope I would have thought it would be Eko. Locke is going to take this role back again I'm sure but could Locke fight off four or five of the others with his bare hands? Eko had so much more story left in Him! The maze that lost has created contains so many dead ends. I'm not going to lose faith just yet but I'm reminded of the series the X-Files. The truth was out there, or so they tole us for eight or nine years. But in the end it wasn't and we were left feeling let down.
