That is a good question because we do see in the previews that he is alive! But the smoke monster drug away that one guy that Sawyer was going to shoot. Why didn't the smoke monster kill Sawyer, Ben, John and Hurley for that matter? They were pretty close to the monster when it drug away that freighter fighter. Is the smoke monster a discriminating smoke monster? I thought it weird that Ben put so much emphasis on making for the treeline and all that and then everyone goes outside and just stands around staring at the smoke monster. Interesting, too, that the ground shook before we saw the smoke monster - seismic activity or the volcano related to the monster?
