And in 3rd season there's a scene where Kate and Juliette ran into monster. And at one moment... It looked like it took a pictures of them, and with flashe too.
Anyone has ideas??? |
My personal belief is that Smokey is a hybrid of alien matter and Dharma Initiative science. Infact I'd even go as far as to say that Smokey pre-dates Dharma and was once a 'pure' alien (or natural) entity, and Dharma 'advanced' or 'devolved' (or perhaps
unhinged) it.
Re: the flashes inside Smokey during the Eko encounter - I think they were flashes from Eko's past. Smokey is, IMO, able to extract past memories from peoples subconscious and use this data to either judge them or assess the best way to 'use' them - just as Smokey (or the Island) later tried to do by using the Yemi manifestation in seasons 2 and 3.
I think that the actual flashes in the Kate/Juliet encouter was a heightened form of this - maybe because it was more difficult to extract data from Kate and Juliet who seem to lack a conscience
