I know what everyone is saying that Eko was supposed to be a key before he left the show. And that its not likely they wrote around his character so that he would return. But I think his absence was a key ingredient to the end of Lost. Eko was learning fast on the Island and having visions before anyone else and also had ties to his brothers plane landing there.
In season 5 they made it clear that he would impact Lost in someway in season 6. Hurley was playing chess with him and the first thing Locke sees during a time Flash is Yemi's plane crashing. Through the new season 6 poster he is very much pictured as a character.
Eko's character found The Pearl station and he also forsaw what would happen if the button was not pushed in his vision of Yemi in the Hatch.
There are many guesses at when Nemisis entered the body of John Locke think about about this one. Boone was refered to a sacrafice for the island demanded or was it a sacrafice of innocence and then you have Smokie who appears to Eko as Yemi follows him around and confronts him several times. He is able to ward off Smokie in the begining and finally it show Eko the pain and suffering he caused. This occurs after they discover the Pearl then Smokie kills Eko.
Or as this a sacrafice of that the island disired aswell in turn a sacrafice of good and evil brings forth Anti Locke.
These characters have all died and in some way all 3 climbed to the top of the cliff that led them to the Pearl.
I had read that Eko was supposed to have played some big spiritual role in the show but when he left they had to write around it. There was an awful lot of discussion regarding him returning in season 6 so I don't think there was anything big planned very far in advance. Just my opinion. I like how you figured out that those three people had climbed those big roots and looked down at the Pearl. Interesting.

What if there is film from old seasons that we have yet to watch. I think there were to many hints dropped not to see him back.
Look at it like this his character had to die otherwise he never would have left the buttons unmanded. Because he knew that the button had to be pushed in his dream with Yemi.

I see your point. So, are you saying then that his leaving the show because he wanted to was just a lie? Something to throw us off the track of his ultimate importance?

I would say so. There are many mysteries in the show but I dont think Ekos can go untold. Without a doubt Eko was a beloved character that dies way to soon.
Hes the only one other that John who faces Smokie and lives.
He hears the name John Locke in the Malkin autopsy tape.
Yemi's Plane
Charlotte Malkin seeks out Eko and tells him about Yemi before he boards 815.
He finds the Pearl.
And he even tells John to Open Up His Eyes And Look North on his Jesus Stick right beside JOHN 316. Which turn Out to be Ajira 316 which is carrying a dead John Locke but how could Eko know all of this unless theres more.
All excellent points and something to think about Buc! I guess I am just still stuck on the articles and interviews that I read and had not looked at it that way before. Infinite possibilities.
All this discussion I try to keep something in mind that Fox and TPTB have said that there is a huge part of the story we arent clued into yet so anything is possible. I will stick with the thought that its not going to be a very complicated storyline. And most of the big issues need to be explained for the mass audience to understand, NOT just a handful, relatively speaking.
Call me cold, or uncaring... but Eko never did anything for me.
His death affected me just a little less than Charlie and a little more than the spider Nikki swatted.
And the actor who played Eko quit on his own.
Now, he's trying to, through power of suggestion, hint towards a comeback?!?
... as far as I'm concerned, "buh bye."

So J-D can you stop beating around the bush and tell us what you think already. LOL
Personally I liked Eko's character. But Charlie I did not care for at all. Other than trying to get in Claires pants and being sarcastic all the time, and a drug addict and doing wha the did to Sun just to get revenge on Locke what was his purpose. He died only because he thought it would get Claire off the Island and that what he cared about. I now a lot of people liked him and want him back but its been what, 2 yrs and Idont miss him at all. Well than again I havent missed any body who has been killed other than Frogurt, JK. But Eko hada certain mysteriousness about him and TPTB really saw his character evolving and a power struggle with Locke per TPTB, but he wanted out of Hawaii so he got the ax so to speak. I do like how smokey mimicked his killing in the sign of the cross.
