When the phrase comes up that someone “still has work to do” it means that that individual’s trial is not over yet and is therefore not supposed to die yet. ( Jack after falling form the airplane, John’s remarkable fast recovery after a near fatal gun shot, Michael not being able to commit suicide)
My theory popped up after the episode were ekko gets killed by Cerberus. Just before that he latterly is judged by the island who took the form as his brother. The Island gives him the chance to show that he has remorse for his passed crimes. Ekko denies that he has committed any crimes. After that his “brother” reveals to Ekko that he is not his brother and cant be persuaded by the arguments his brother might have felt for.
Judgement: “bad guy” . Trial period over and Cerberus takes him away, contrary to what we have seen before: ceberus looking Ekko in the eye when his trial was not over yet.
Any thoughts on this?

Yeah.
I don't think the island is some God or the LOST narrative, the Bible- 80 episodes we had so far would mean nothing if not the partiality of any judgment cast on a person, especially the ones formed from a single point of view like the moral ones. Of course everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but that's how I see LOST
Sure that dichotomies (ex: backgammon game) & issues like redemption are motifs part of the story. But I think that if all were to come down to some ultimate moral judgment, the show would lose its uniqueness and complexity, and LOST would just turn into some other story in the likes of tens of other pop culture/entertainment items already available.
