Jacob threw his brother into the creek and the brother floated into the Light Tunnel cave. Seconds later the Black Smoke Monster flew out of that cave and disappeared into the woods. Later Jacob found his brother washed up lying dead on the rocks. My question is: the Black Smoke Monster that flew out of that cave and disappeared into the woods, was that the brother-turned-Smoke Monster, or was it the original actual Smoke Monster that was living down in that Light Cave all the time?

I think that the smoke is a kind of Nanobot. So small and it's able to take on any shape. A mist or cloud to transport it. I read a book in which Nanobot's traveled that way. Mind you I can not remember the name of that book.

well, the other day i watched a documentary about electromagnetism.it said that sometimes people use the electromagnetic energy to HEAL other people!and as you all know,locke was cured from the paralysis because of the islands!that obviously explains that there exists a electromagnetic field in that island!and also the documentary talked about the thing that made me think about all weekend!the waves emited by magnectic energy,can easily get to your brain!and as you know,our 90% of the brain is VERY VERY powerfull that makes even see things that actually dont even exist!that must explain half of the things that happened in the island especially "smokey"!

Does anyone remember Locke explaining the rules of Backgammon to Walt? This was an immediate theme the writers were testing in the first few episodes. Rather than calling the pieces "black" and "white" he describes them as "light" and "dark". This has not really amounted to anby major significance as yet, which leads me to believe that it is still to come to significance. HOWEVR, there have been some hints towards this theme ongoing.

The backgammon game is a macrocosm of the battle on the island, which Locke did not even know himself yet.

One player is light. One player is dark.

This suggests a light v dark conflict non?

Now, we all know the evidence for the Smoke Monster. (Its on this page!). I too support the notion that there are two monsters. I support this by citing Locke's sighting of the monster in the first few episodes, after which he says "I saw into the heart of the island, and what I saw was beautiful." Later he says of hte monster to Eko , "I saw a white light, it was beautiful."

We haven't seen a "light monster" for ourselves... or have we??

In the episode where Smokey attacks Kate and Julliet and pins them under a tree, there are flashes of white light. This has been described as the smoke "taking pictures" of them. Then it fled. Now, I'm sorry, but taking pictures?? If all it wanted to do was take pictures, why would it come back and attack them again just minutes afterwards?

That was no flash photography. That was the Light Monster fighting Smokey, to protect Kate and Julliet. Lighty saved them from being killed by Smokey because they have a part to play yet.

In the season 3 finale, Walt comes to Locke and saves him. That was Lighty, coming to save Locke so that he could continue his work on the island. He wasn't the same scary walt that Smokey became to kill shanon.

Could this smoke monster be jacob or could jacob control it?If jacob controlled it could help him see whats happening on the island. What do you think?

I think the iron filings cover up whats really inside, which could be anything, for instance jacob. This is because maybe the "monster" cloud thing is sustaining his life. Besides, if it was biological, then why would the sonic resonation fence stop it. I mean come on, it didn't kill patchy then how can it stop a biological beast? Im kind of a tech freak and i dont think the nanobots would be a good explanation. if it was true then how was the hatch able to control it.

Ok don't really know how to say this but, when they first got to the island locke was given something to belive in because he was walking again, he comes face to face with this thing and isn't touched. Echo also came face to face with it when he was devoted to a cause. But as soon as echo's ~faith~ broke, the monster killed him, I don't have the episode but did locke's ~faith~ falter before the monster tried dragging him down the hole?

Could the BSM be Jacob's (the invisable guy traped in the house) soul looking for help. I can't say how this ties into the things the BSM does. Just throwing it out there.

In the episode Special in season one, just before Walt is attacked by the polar bear he is standing in the jungle and there is I believe some whispering going on and for just a moment you see a white smoke monster behind him. Any other appearances of this?

In the show "Left Behind" before the BSM hits the sonic fence, it came from two different locations and connected to eachother. It did the same thing when it left. did anyone notice that? Also, I noticed that the BSM sees a person two times before trying to kill them. The first time, it seems to examine them, and the second time try to kill them. Mr. Eko saw it twice, and died the second time.back in the first season, Locke saw the monster twice, but survived. The BSM seemed to take photos of Julliet and Kate, then the next day try to attack them, but was stopped by the fence. Also I think Shannon saw Walt (who could be the BSM) twice before she got shot by Ana Lucia. I'm not quite sure on Jack seeing Christian and Hurley seeing Dave. Please post a reply if you have more information.
