The last episode may be my favorite of the series. I love season 3 and hug it to my breast like a cuddly teddy bear.
My understanding of Eko's death was that the actor wanted off the show, since he felt that there was not really enough to explore about his past after being given such a stellar flashback the last season. I actually liked the resolution. Before, he had a spiritual awakening and the "monster" spared him (also flashed some sort of video montage at him, but never knew what that was about.) The monster is some mechanical gadget cloaked in smoke. I like how, in the episode where he died, he seemed to come to a different conclusion about himself, his faith, etc. And the result was that the monster rejects him. It ties into some theories about individual character redemptions. I'm also wondering if the "monster" is something separate from the "Others" we've gotten to know.
