Lost S5 E6 "316"

So far I am just happy they did something on the black smoke. We know now that its main purpose is to guard that temple and has the ability to take control of someone.

They still have a LOT of explaining left to do about the smoke though. Like why does it always sound mechanical? And who created it? And what's the temple (or is that where the wheel is)? Doesn't seem like dharma created it, because we assume the electric fence they put up was to guard themselves against it. So then who?

The other others.

my theory is that the smoke creature is a "course correcter". It kills things that aren't supposed to be there, or will somehow alter events that they shouldn't. In a way its mechanical, i guess. I dont think its alive in any real sense.
