Smokie and the Visions - Page 3

As mentioned earlier in this thread, smokey may be "the box". Below are a few items to reflect on:
1. In year one most of us thought Walt was special because he thought about polar bears and they appeared on the island.
2. In season two several losties saw people- things that didn't belong on the island (horses, old imaginary friends, walt, a bird that could say "hurley").
3. At the end of season 2 the others took a risk and told Micheal they would let Walt go in a trade for the release of Ben and the capture of Sawyer,Hurley, Jack,and Kate (all with live visions on the island), yet they had no interest in a direct trade of Walt and Micheal for Ben, which was offered by Jack and Kate.
4. Season three Mr. Ecko alway felt as tough he should have died instead of his Brother he got his redemtion.
5. A two-fer " the real Sawyer" appears out of nowhere. Once again redemtion for two characters as his death completes Sawyer and Lockes past.

Just Throwing out some thoughts.

Yeah they arent visions. The smoke physically changes into things. Smokey actually becomes a horse. Remeber she touched it and sawyer saw it aswell. If the smoke can physically change form it points to the whole nanotechnology thing. If the smoke is made out of tiny robots as small as an atom they can turn into anything it wants. There is also a hint to this in the LOST EXPERIENCE link here:: http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/DJ_Dan_June_14_transcript

"C3: Well, what I'm worried about is nanotechnology.
D: Uh, nanotech-whuh?
C3: Nanotechnology? It's essentially the minuturization of machines down to the molecular level.
D: Uh wait whoah whoah whoah, you mean robots so small that they're invisible? That sounds awful! Why would anyone want to do that?
C3: Well, there's lots of useful applications. Medicine, computers. For example, you could capture billions of these nanites--
D: Nanites? Is that geek for invisible tiny robots?
C3: Right--you could capture them in an electromagnetic field and have them float over--say--wheat fields, acting as a poison-free pesticide.
D: Whoah whoah wait a minute--what does that even look like? If a bunch of these nano-thingies got together--
C3: Something like a--storm cloud."

HAVANA - First comes the stink of diesel, then a metallic roar, and finally a tower of black smoke that tells you the "camello" — the camel — has reached your stop.

These hulking 18-wheeled beasts, iron mutants made of two Soviet-era buses welded together on a flatbed and pulled by a separate cab, have long been Havana's public transport nightmare — bumpy, hot and jammed with up to 400 passengers at a time.

But their gradual disappearance is a telling sign of change in the twilight of the Fidel Castro age. The last "camello" is expected to go out of service in Havana on Sunday night.

The camello, so named for its humped front and rear sections, is being eclipsed by thousands of new city buses from China as the government under Castro's brother, Raul, resuscitates a public transportation system on the brink of collapse.

Route M-6, running from the capital's southern outskirts uptown to the University of Havana, is the city's last remaining camello route, and municipal authorities say they have been told to pull all camellos off it this weekend.

"I think we should build a monument to the camello," said retiree Salvador Carrera, a camello passenger. "It has been an extraordinary thing."

The capital aside, camellos are far from extinct. The government has an island-wide fleet of more than 1,000, and those from Havana could be used to augment bus service elsewhere, transportation employees say.

Like those ubiquitous Detroit cars that predate the U.S. embargo, the camello is a definer of Cuba on wheels, but without the fun of a San Francisco cable car ride or the clean efficiency of the Washington, D.C. Metro.
