I want to keep the other thread mostly for the glyphs, so...
I managed to capture several key moments of Smokey's brilliant attack. As TDS said in another thread, this is surely one of the biggest 'WOW' moments ever on LOST:
(I've lightened the contrast etc so that the images are a bit clearer)
My general observations:
- When Smokey stormed through O-Town the trees barely moved - infact they moved no more than they were moving prior to Smokey's bursting through the area. I'm thinking that this is either an oversight on the part of the CGI team, or that it suggests Smokey has an 'environment filter' (yes i made that term up) of somekind, where he can select which objects to 'effect' and which ones to not effect.
- Several electric (electromagnetic to be precise?) pulses can be seen during Smokey bursting through O-Town and during his attack on 'Team Keam'. Smokey seems to have built up ALOT of electromagnetism - the last time we saw so much of it in one place was when Desmond turned the faisafe key. This (electromagnetism) is surely what powers Smokey, as many of us had theoried in the past.
- When one of Keamy's people tries to run, Smokey literally 'grabs' him..infact the shape of a 'thumb' and then a 'hand' can be seen grabbing the desenter and pulling him through the jungle. I find this interesting as it's almost like Smokey is devolving into a human in order to interact with humans..of course this could just be metaphorical more than anything else.
