It better not be. That was far too weird to not get some sort of explanation on. I'm giving them a big break on dropping the ball completely on Walt, which seemed at first to be a key story of the series, but I demand my four toed statue explanation.

You'll get the four toe statue explanation when we find out more about the temple and black smoke. I suspect they are from the same culture. The posessed french crew called the smoke monster a secuirty device to protect the temple, and I beleive Ben has referred to it as a security device too.
I'm sure Atlantis will figure in the explanation somehow too.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
