Ok so I'm watching the east coast feed on my sat dish and I'm tivo-ing the show at the same time, but I don't have the Tivo hooked up to my computer and I don't have hi-def (sadly). But I caught something in the flashes when Ecko confronts the "Monster"
I was lucky to freeze the frame just right (hard to do with Tivo) and capture the face of the man that Ecko kills when he's a boy in the flash moment when the monster is swinging around Ecko.
I'll try to capture anything else that I see, but I'm sure someone with hi-def Tivo can get a better screengrab than I have.
Are you serious? I figured it was more than just smoke & electrcal charges but didn't see anything else. I was almost expecting the smoke to form a reflection of Eko on it, like shaping into his face.
I couldn't quite make out what exactly Eko was looking at, other than just a black smoke but I did find it interesting that so far, him and Locke didn't get harmed by it. I remember Locke saying to Jack before that he's looked into the eye of the island and what he saw was beautiful. So the monster is what you make it to be???
