US: New Video? *contains spoilers for future episodes*

    Since we're in the hiatus period I decided to travel to some other lost forums to see what other people have been saying about recent episodes and series two in general.
    On one of these forums I picked up a link to a supposed new video about the Dharma Initiative Classifications, the vid's available here

    Now, the general concensus from people is that this video is a fake but I'm not too sure...
    A theory!
    The fact that station 5 is mentioned twice could be an error, but here's what I think: In the first Dharma video we saw the guy mentioned that there was an incident and that's why the computer has to be used every 108 minutes. Now, the first station 5 mentioned is the Zoology station, the one with the arrow. Since the tail survivors have been using this station as a refuge and their numbers have been substantially lessened it could be a sign that something happened to the station. Not to mention that the station itself looks to be in a state compared to station 3.
    If this video isn't a fake then this could perhaps indicate that the 'incident' occured in station 4 and the research had to be moved to station 5.

    I'm still somewhat dubious about the video's origin, but I thought it warranted discussion anyway!

    Hmmm... interesting. I cant help but feel the video is a little dubious, it has obviously been made to look like the first video but its almost like it is trying too hard.

    Interesting theory though...the tail-enders bunker definitely seems to have suffered the ill effects of some incident.

    again im unsure of the origins of this but it does raise some interesting questions, especially with the double 5 thing. we have already seen the polar bear and shark that seem to be connected to dharma. its hardly likely they were just "let free" so maybe the accident happened in the zoological station and the animals escaped. its unlikely that a polar bear would survive long in an environment like that (granted i dont know much about polar bears but im assuming) so maybe there was some form of genetic experiments? an accident could have infected the workers somehow causing the abandonment of the station, and this spilled into danielle's crew, and now the tail people. maybe the others arer also a result of such genetic engineering, some form of mutants perhaps (this might explain why we only got to see the feet - a false sense of familiarity for the viewers? a little extreme of a conjecture i know). i still cant think of a concrete link to the numbers (maybe a virus strain or formula or some such?) or the 108 minute execute thing. anyway this may be a total fake anyway (hell change that to probably) so maybe we shouldt read too much into it ;)

    Anyone have another Download link?
    That one don't work for me.

    Link worked for me.

    I think the videois definetly a fake. Its poorly produced and you can tell those videos of the lab etc where just random clips he found on the web.

    I'm gonna take the gullibale approach and say i think it's real.
    So there were 7 symbols showen throughout the video but at the end there were only six surrounding the person logo. So station 5 two might have been a cock up. By the way , Look at the classifications for station 1 : psychology. First one is behavour studies. As in BF.Skinner ,as in the orentation vid.

    Okay the link works for me now, I think its a fake.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,554 ✭✭✭herobear


    can you put in your original post(preferably bolded) the fact that the video is in no way confirmed as real?

    misinformation = not nice!


    and yes, i know its a fake....buts its kinda cool discussion point anyhow

    I don't see any problem with the post tbh... it's made clear that it's not confirmed to be real so people can draw their own conclusions...

    by the way what website was this founs on?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Waltons


    I originally saw it in a comment on this Lost Podcast site (after searching for information about the bear seen in ep 5). Later I went to another lost forum and saw the link again but have since lost the link to the forum :(

    Quite good for a fake (which I think it is). Music is too much, though. But it's well in keeping with the established Dharma information. What makes me doubt its authenticity more than anything else is the almost-forced need to have "Walt Disney Internet Group" on it, as if to say, "It's definitley real!"

    Interesting all the same. The creator of the clip certainly chose the right areas to focus on station-wise. BF Skinner worked on something called Operant Conditioning which could very well be what the inputting of the numbers is all about.
