I just finished watching (1.01) "The Pilot". A certain scene featuring Jack, Kate and Charlie's trip to the cockpit of the Oceanic 815 led me to a few questions.
WHY DID THE MAN IN BLACK aka SMOKEY . . .?
Why did the Man in Black aka Smokey Kill the following?:
1. Co-Pilot of Oceanic Flight 815 (1.01) "Pilot: Part 1"
2. Mr. Eko (3.05) "The Cost of Living"
3. Members of the Rousseau Research Vessel Crew (5.05) "This Place Is Death"
------------
And why did the Man in Black aka Smokey try to kill the following?:
1. Jack Shephard, Kate Austen and Charlie Pace (1.01) "Pilot: Part 1"
2. John Locke "Exodus: Part 2"
3. Kate Austen and Juliet Burke (3.15) "Left Behind"
