I personally was under the impression that the security system was cloaked, and that the black smoke was the system adjusting itself and letting the machine inside show through.
The magic vs. science thing was a bit overplayed I thought... but eh. And "the boy" referring to Walt rather than the baby... that was cool as HELL. Okay... this thing with the hatch is interesting, but a little frustrating... why can't they just SHOW us something, already? On the whole I do love this show.
