Eko's first "own" episode is a solid character piece that benefits from outstanding writing: not only in the way it paints an almost complete portrait of the man in about 40 minutes, but also in the way the flashbacks are so tightly tied to the events that are happening - or have already happened - on the island. The dialogue between Eko and his brother is particularly well-written, and the Eko-Smoke Monster staredown is a standout sequence. "The 23rd Psalm" wonders how much of our life is determined by choice or circumstances, what is the nature of sin, and if redemption is possible. Typically for this series, there are no easy answers. *** out of 4.
