Or the other way around-- he had to convince everyone else he wasn't a guy you should like. That's if we're supposed to understand that he hates the man he's become.
Eko started out as my favorite character of season two, and to some extent he still is, I just wish he would say more to everyone around him, or at least got a flashback for why he feels like he has to be so standoffish. I don't like his one-word responses when it's obvious he's a much more compelling character.
Yeah, Charlie does seem like he could use a stick-removal system for his ass. I mean, I saw him throwing the statues into the water, and I figured he'd hook up with Locke again, or at least call a truce between them, but he's just such a snotty little baby about the whole thing.
Jack and Kate were and are still cool in my book, but Eko, Locke and Hurley are the power players, I think, as far as being relatable to the audience. They are, for all intents and purposes, the good guys, without any glaring flaws. Eko used to be a bad guy, but they don't emphasize his drug-dealing past, and that's important in the overall scheme.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
