You apparently haven't played Qix before. You don't need to know where smokey is. You just need to know where it is not, and then secure that spot. Yes it would be time consuming. But don't you think its time well-spent considering the thing can kill you?How you would do this? They generally don't know where Smokey is at any given time. To "play Qix" with something you have to be able to beat it to a spot, and if you don't know the location of something that is faster than you, you can't do it. The only way it would work would be to isolate an entire section of the island that you know to be safe and then slowly move the sand line outward until smokey was trapped, and that seems wholly impractical given the size of the island.If the powder is an impassable barrier for smokey, and smokey is such a threat, why couldn't they play Qix with the island, systematically blocking off sections from smokey until they trap it in a corner?

In terms of acting, dialouge and pacing, the last two seasons have fallen off enormously. In a lot of cases embarrassingly. But the mysteries and questions were so tantalizing in the first four seasons that I think at this point everybody overlooks it--sooooo much is going on at once and we're all so desperate to figure this whole ####### thing out.But yeah, I think the writers bit off more than they could chew and have been forced to cut a ton of corners and really stretch plausability to account for the mysteries they created. I still enjoy it, and because the first four seasons were so good and the characters so well developed, I still care about them, even if they're all shells of their former selves.
