"Left Behind" episode

[3d-aholic]

In the Left behind episode, Kate and Juliette are hiding from the smoke monster...when suddenly there are flashes of light...and then smokie backs up quickly as symbolized by the camera.

If there is anyone in this section of the forum, what does this mean to you? I have not seen this light before...up to this point. Its significant to me.

I believe its Jacob...and I am surprised to think that Jacob can actually intervene in some cases against smokey.

Anyone...
What do you think?
I know everyone always has an opinion on what the take way was suppose to be...

I'm still reading Ben List thread in which only 2 posts so far have actually touched the main subject originally posted.

I'm rewatching season 3 and that is the next episode I'm watching. I watched Expose` last night and heard the smokey sound and all those medusa spiders appeared to get Nikki (did not see smokey though). Seeing is believing on the tv show and I think writers and editors put things in to have optional scenarios later on.

Actually, smokie apprached the banyan tree where Kate and Juliet were huddled together and the flashes that you saw were like it was taking pictures. It was scanning Juliet. It did not leave all that quickly. It left when it was done. I made a thread about that episode a few days ago because of what Juliet said to Kate in that same scene. She told Kate that she had dislocated her shoulder four times and I thought it sounded peculiar the way she said it. It made me think that Juliet had been in that time loop four times now.

From what I know about Smokey is that it is perhaps reading into people at first. The other two whom we saw get a face to face with Smokey were Locke and Eko. Locke said he saw a glorious white light, but Eko said he saw darkness. Juliet gets flashes of white light - guess she has nothing to fear from Smokey.

There was another thread titled "for those who don't believe Locke is the smoke monster" or something along those lines; I was tryting to gather evidence in that thread to analyze and understand what Smokey is.

It left as fast you can get a camera to go back. There is a limit to how fast you can do that....and they were at it.

The only implication you can get from that is that it was leaving in a hurry....exactly why I don't know. But that same episode is where "sound" is used to keep the smoke monster at bay.

The other thing I was thinking is that since Juliette is an "other" the smoke monster maybe was getting warned...your not allowed to touch these people.

Perhaps there will be a clue in what episodes are left.

When I saw that episode and also the episode where it was looking at Eko and the camera went through Smokey and we saw the images of Eko's past I thought it was doing the same thing and scanning Juliet. it seemed to be focused on her more so than Kate but really hard to tell. I know in the Eko clip you didnt really see light flashing off Eko's face as it did Juliet's And Kates but maybe it was just because he was so close to her or who knows maybe just how he was reading Juliet. It might also have to do with the fact that she was a hostile or even because by this point I believe she was marked. maybe being marked makes you vulnerable to Smokey.
