In a newly published article in Variety, Lost director mentions some regrets over the Mr. Eko death scene.
" Looking back, Jack Bender feels bad about how the smoke monster killed Mr. Eko.
It's not that Bender, the "Lost" helmer who directed the fatal encounter, wishes he'd kept Eko alive. If he had it to do over again, he'd just show less of the monster.
"Occasionally you look back on an episode, and you say that 'That was the best choice in post that we could have made at the time,' " Bender says. "There have been certain choices that we've been forced to make because of the nature of scheduling.""
