It is way too rare that you see such a quality acting on screen.It is,simply,stupendous.But,in fact,what else than a most powerful art could be expected from an Eko&John show?And not only these two,but EVERYBODY in this episode is astounding.The acting level is very high.

I don't know if the story goes some place,but every bit of it is excellent.I find the creativity and inventiveness of this show's authors outstanding.I don't mind very much about "DHARMA",instead I'm very interested about "John","Eko","Sawyer".(The story of the wonder,in this episode,was predictable,and yet,how wonderfully narrated.)

The music underscores very effectually a suspenseful scene.

As a matter a fact,till now each "Eko" episode,like this one,was a knockout.For me,"Eko" is the most interesting actor of this show.

"?" centers on Mr. Eko and Locke's journey to find a mysterious symbol seen in Locke's vision, revealing more about the island's secrets. The episode opens with Locke and Mr. Eko setting out to find the symbol, driven by a sense of urgency and curiosity. Directed by Deran Sarafian, the episode effectively blends mystery and spiritual exploration.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje delivers a standout performance as Mr. Eko, portraying his unwavering faith and determination. Terry O'Quinn also shines as Locke, capturing his growing frustration and desperation. The flashbacks reveal Mr. Eko's past as a drug lord and his transformation into a man of faith, adding significant depth to his character.

The writing in "?" explores themes of faith, destiny, and the search for meaning. Mr. Eko's unwavering belief in the island's purpose and Locke's struggle with his own faith create a compelling narrative. The script skillfully balances character development with plot advancement, revealing new layers of the island's mysteries and the characters' motivations.

The cinematography captures the episode's eerie and spiritual moments, using close-ups and atmospheric lighting to convey the island's enigmatic presence. The editing maintains a steady pace, ensuring a seamless flow between the flashbacks and present-day events. The sound design, including the use of ambient noises and haunting music, heightens the episode's tension and emotional resonance.

In conclusion, "?" is a captivating and spiritually charged episode that delves into Mr. Eko and Locke's complex characters and the island's mysteries. The performances by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Terry O'Quinn are compelling and multifaceted. The writing, direction, and cinematography create a rich and engaging narrative, adding significant depth to the series' character dynamics and overarching themes.

While sleeping, Mr. Eko is assigned by his brother Yemi (Adetokumboh McCormack) in a dream to go with John Locke to disclose the meaning of the "?" symbol. With the pretext of chasing Henry, Mr. Eko brings John with him and they find a second hatch called "Pearl" underground the question mark symbol marked on the field, where a video explains that the other hatch is a psychological experiment and people behavior pressing the buttons of the computer every 108 minutes are actually subjects. Meanwhile, Jack unsuccessfully tries to save Libby.

In this episode, John Locke loses his faith in the island when he finds that they have been monitored in the hatch. The disgusting Michael sees the anguishing Libby wishing that she was dead, while Hurley, Jack, Kate and Sawyer are suffering her pain, in a deep emotional contrast. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Note: On 01 April 2013, I saw this episode again.

An Eko-centric episode the "?" explores the aftermath of the tragic events that rocked the castaways in the previous one. As the main characters John, Locke, Sawyer, Kate and Hurley come to terms with the incident in the hatch, Locke and Eko set out to find out where Henry took off to. As it turns out Eko is on a mission of his own trying to figure out the symbol ? which Locke had drawn on his sketch. We see flashes of Eko's life in Sydney as a priest who comes in contact with his brother through a stranger. We also witness the tragedy that struck the hatch boil down to a room temperature as Michael continues to remain a mystery.

An excellent LOST episode with many interesting turns.

One of the most enjoyable episodes so far! The tension and drama were at their peak, making it impossible to look away. The way the storylines intertwined was masterfully done, and each character had their moment to shine. Michael's actions and decisions in this episode were shocking and added a dark layer to his character that I didn't expect. He's definitely the filthiest character, not just because of his actions but because of the moral decay they represent. The show's ability to keep viewers on the edge of their seats is unmatched. Thank you, Lost, for delivering another unforgettable episode!
