The Black Smoke / Monster in ABC’s Lost
The guy who plays Ecko was on Jimmy Kimmel last night and he addressed that - apparently the monster smoke thing will not harm people who are genuinely good people.
This could explain why it doesn’t bother Ecko or Locke, but it doesnt explain why it pulled Locke into the hole.

Did you see all the flashing images inside the smoke when it was close to Ecko’s face?
yea i did, it was a lot of images of his past and stuff like that, strange.
I still love the show, but it seems like the writers are stalling. I suspect they have no idea what’s going to happen next…they’re just making it up as they go along.
you´re all wrong…the writers know exactly what to do,but its only the second season and they want to make it a little bit longer, but thats fine,cuz i dont like fast progress.the show is great
actually, according to Lindelof, the show is supposed to span 4 to 5 seasons, and the series was planned from start to finish. they know exactly how it was going to start and exactly how it will end. this is awesome, but i don’t know if i can stand another 3 years to find out what the hell is happening… just thought i’d bring that up that point. their not stalling, they know what’s up, they’re just slowly working their way to it.
I don’t know what to say, the show is awesome, few shows keep you staring at it like this one, but honestly, the smoke thing was pretty funny, I mean, how the hell a dark cloud is going to think who it can attack and who can not! Hope it has a really good explanation…
Hey Deep Dish! just wanted to say i love the show also, we dont know for sure if the smoke attacks any one at all? we just asume because there is a loud noise and people go missing it hurts people?
lets take locke in season one? it didnt kill him did it? i think the smoke is like some kind of alien observation device!
The monster must attack some people, or there must be another monster in addition to the smoke. Remember series 1? what the hell rips the pilot out of the plane and rips his body apart??
and why has the monster that crashes throught the trees not come back??
these are all good questions and the reality is that we wont find an answer to them for a long time. lets just hope they give us answers to these in the next season or i will be pissed
i think that the smoke only attack people who fear it, remember when charlie asks eko if he was scared he goes
“i did not fear it” well locke wasnt scared of it in season one either, but the pilot was shittin bricks so it killed him.
Did anyone saw a hand feeding the horse in the episode where Kate saw a horse in the jungle.
hi! an greetings from germany!
i’ve ust seen the last episode of teh second season and i can’t believe, i habe to wait until october to see how its going on!
in germany they have not even began playing season 2!!! - you are lucky guys! i’m glad, i could download the season 2 from the internet - think of the lake of information all the others ones have!!!
just wanted to say , yer i saw the hand from one of the cdrew drawing the horses attention, lol you would have thought such genious directors and editors would have seen it. i’m a media student and i saw it first time round… as for the smoke i’m screwed for thought.
Is it possible that the “thing” Locke saw the first time is NOT the same “thing” that tried to pull in into the pit? We never saw what Locke was seeing the first time, and he stated “I have looked into the eye of this island and it is beautiful.” Then when he is talking about the black smoke that tried to pull him into the pit it didn’t sound like they were the same thing.
is the black smoke and the thing that rips up trees the same thing. I dont thik they are but i want to be certain????????
Thanks
JELLY MAN I THINK THEY ARE THE SAME….A FEW EPISODES AGO(WHEN MICHAEL FOUND WALT)WALT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE OTHERS WERE PRETENDING.WHY DOES MR. FRIENDLY HAVE A FAKE BEARD?WHY DO THE OTHERS HAVE FAKE NAMES?I HOPE WE FIND OUT…
I DON’T KNOW WHY,BUT CALVIN KINDA LOOKS LIKE MR.FRIENDLY
WHO WERE THE PEOPLE WITH CALVIN WHEN THEY FOUND DESMOND?AND WHAT HAPPEN TO THEM?ARE THEY THE OTHERS?
I think all the poeple desmond seemed to see weren’t really there, it was just cos he was out of it.
hi im a swiss guy, like this series very much..
watch this scene again, you will see that desmond focussed calvin like a spectroscope - so its just calvin that save desmond..
hey rob from england here, lost rocks,
talking about the smoke, in episode 1 when the engine blows up and hurley, claire and jack do a dramatic dive look closely slow it down and watch the frames, you will see that the smoke goes into the engine and causes it to blow up

Hi. In the last episode of lost season 2 desmond came back after sailing for days on sea, so why does the points micheal and walt were given going to take them anywhere else. I also feel the others are scientists of some kind. Why is jacks dad involed with nearly every member of the island. And lastly why the hell were the two men at the end (looking for desmond) in the antaric i bet the island members find there on the isle of man or something
hey boyz…i think lost is awesume….i love kate…she is fyn saix…..n shannon was also blonde hot girl….bt damnit she died…ok no pobleme becoz anna lucia is here….n she is sex machine…sawyer will hav very much fun in da sun wid her….jungle tiger intercourse…..vry gud…..i think sayid is best boy….he is dark smart n handsum….n i think he has godjilla in his pants…no wonder dumb hot shannon sexed him….ok enuf frm me today…thanx boyz…..may da sex be wid u…..l8r
The two Brazilian/Portugese/Russian w/e men were hired by Penny Widmore to find Desmond, because she believes that her father has something to do with the experiments going on on the island and her father made sure that Desmond would be on the island away from his daughter. I believe that Libby is connected to Dharma and was put up to giving her boat to Desmond in the coffee shop. Libby probably works for Dharma or something. About the first episode the black smoke causing the engine to blow up.. what software do you use to slow down the frames, and couldn’t it just be regular black fire smoke from the plane crash?
Dammit i really can’t wait until October, or maybe thats just for USA im in the UK here but ive got Limewire :>
Izzy.
im from the UK to lol! and i use limewire! izzy use T3 mode downloads lost in 10mins! this series was fukin awesome i knew tht henry guy wasnt tellin the truth bastard! my mums m8 gt series 3 already!! october gese! ill probly lend series 3 off her n watch it all on my 3 mnth break !!
hey i saw the episode with the black smoke with mr eko i have some pictures of it as well email me if you want them evilbunny@hotmail.co.uk
Izzy, nah the black smoke in the pilot episode isn’t normal fire smoke cos it swoops down from the sky flies through the engine and then flies off again
Limewire will only show you clips and won’t give you the whole viewing experience. But, since it’s showing in the states, you can get it from Itunes - if you have it. Then, you can just purchase the 2nd season for $1.99 (USD)per episode!
Also, that smoke episode came right after we found out about Mr. Eckos confusing past. Remember when we found out that due to saving his brother at a young age, he became a thug-turned drug runner? Yet his soul was slowly converted after what happened with his brother. Also,when the smoke came out, it seemed to hold images - some of his past - so I’m assuming the reason why it took so long was because it was trying to decide if he was good or bad and since he’s so conflicted, it took awhile. Then it looks like it decided that he was more good than bad and left…. at least that’s my theory.
Someone told me that the black smoke killed two people, I know that Mr. Eko was one who was the other?
