I like the idea that the others contol Smokey, and Juliet is lying.
But if this is true then it presents more questions. (for me anyways)
Why send Ethan and Goodwin to make lists? If Smokey could go scan losties and gather info. Or take the form of a person and infiltrate the losties.
When the others decide who they want to take, why not just send Smokey to pick them up and fly them back to the others?
So far the fence appears to be smokeys only weakness (well the dynomite seemed to scare it off too).
If the others control smokey, then I don't understand their methods for using it.

This is a
C
L idea. So Smokey can extend up but some part of it needs to be in contact with the ground. Like a cobra rising up and getting ready to strike? Well then if the fence doesn't extend up like a dome why couldn't smokey just reach over the fence and snatch up Juliet and Kate?
