hmmm ... cool theory. I'm still trying to figure out the Eko-Locke thing. In the first season Locke was playing backgammon with Walt and, in explaining the game, he picks up a couple of game pieces and says something about the opposing side, one black, one white, but the same. Or somethign wierd like that.

Now we've got Eko kinda being a "black Locke". But I'm still trying to figure out if the black/white thing is a good/evil thing. Both guys stood their ground against the "monster" and looked into it. (Locke in season 1). maybe Eko was evil as a youth and is now good. maybe Locke was good before but becomes evil? I don't know but it was interesting stuff last night.
