The Orchid

Has anyone else seen the Dharma orientation video for station 6, The Orchid, on ABC's site? It's pretty crazy, I don't really know what to make of it. Anyone able to read the little subliminal message that flashes about halfway through? Can you see who's riding the bike??

Wow! Kind of creepy... Was that a rabbit clone they freaked out over? Couldnt tell who was on the bike. Did you catch the God Loves you... That was all I read. (I think)It would be neat if someone got this video on stills.

yeah I don't know, it was like they were scared of the two rabbits attacking each other or something, and I think it was right after they mentioned something about "special powers" on the island.

There is a flash of a tall building that apears to be some sort of hotel in a tropical region, perhaps Florida or Hawii.

The balloon letters phased into the film said, "God loves you as He loved Jacob." Let's remember that "Jacob" was the name of the invisible entity that spoke to John Locke, for which, he was shot and left for dead. We think Jacob manifested himself as Walt and prevented Locke from suiside, right?

The upside-down flash was of someone riding a bike in front of a flat-topped house. I doubt these were meant to do anything but distract us.

The sudden, almost magical appearance of the other rabbit was odd. The streak down the left side of the screen actually was the rabbit. I caught its shape when I paused it. Then, it showed up directly behind them on a shelf where no normal rabbit could reach. Both of them were marked "15" so we can assume the one in the Dr's arms was a fake, designed to fool their Darma-initiates. For what reason, we do not know for certain.

Whe it appeared and they freaked... he asked "When did you set the shift?" and she responded with numbers as though he knew what she was saying. This is all nonsense to us. The whole thing seems to be that the Darma group knew something was weird on the island, but did not want the newbies to know at first.

Certain creatures and people are manifesting latent abilities or expereincing healing phenomena on the island that cannot happen in the natural world. This, we already knew. The producers of the show are playing with us, not actually providing any new information.

wow, great analysis robetron! The flashing phrase is interesting, like trying to brainwash the watcher, and let's not forget they were trying to brainwash the boyfriend (can't remember his name right now) before they rescued him. The mysteries just seem to be getting deeper, I really hope they actually explain all this someday...

Anyone have any idea when the new season of Lost will begin?
