I watched it at 4am this morning.......I'm dying from lack of sleep now. cry:

Did anyone else notice the images from Eko's past in the "smoke" when the camera moved through it? I wonder if "it" is taking things from the people it encounters, or showing them something (or maybe both). Taking thoughts/memories? Some of the noises it makes sound like some of the things we've heard on the show; the plane tearing up/crash, Walts game when he was sitting in the airport, things like that. Previous theories on some of the Lost message boards have the black smoke as some kind of nanobot technology. I haven't come to any conclusions about it myself. Anyway, that was a fine episode indeed.[/quote:97439]

I'm not sure, but remember when the Others stole the people from Eko and Ana Lucia's group? The guy who infiltrated their group said that they wanted to take the "good" people. Maybe the smoke (they called it a security system) was looking through Eko's memory to see if he was good or bad? Maybe the Others wanted the "good" people so that they wouldn't get caught by the security system?
