It's possible that the cave interacted negative with the brother based on his current emotional state .. or before he was knocked out. It's also possible everyone who goes in there turns into smoke and that Jack and Smokey could go inside because they had been given powers (to some extend) and Desmond found an immunity from the hatch. Still not sure how something that gives powers / turns people into smoke also has electro magnetic properties.. and since Desmond was immune to that it also means he was immune to changing. That means that the electro magnetism directly creates the smoke? I guess that explains why smokey always had little lightning bolts inside him .. although does not explain his sound fx

yea i know im nitpicking again, but i woulda liked them to go into a little detail about the "i forget what theyre called" the things that kept him out that gate thing. like what was it that was keeping him out, obviously it was some kind of invisible barrier but what and why?
