The interesting thing about the missing piece of the film is not what Marvin Candle had to say... but why someone cut that particular piece...

Yes. Sabotage. I feel like they have the ability to reach the outside world, and have all along, whether it's in the drug plane with Boone, or now this with the computer. I feel that their entering the code only cloaks them somehow from "radar". It's sabotage, and they are also sabotaging themselves. Hmmm...

What about the other splices?

other splices? i think they got them all taken care of.

Maybe this is true, and the "incident" that happened was 16 years ago, when radar and/or radios starting picking up their signals (danielle's science team, and the two military guys). So now they have to input the numbers to keep from the signals getting out.

I don't think so. I seem to remember some other obvious jump cuts in the Orientation film. One that I recall specifically is when Candle was talking about BF Skinner and other influences. I'll hunt down my tape of that episode and see if I can be more specific...

I remember that MaggieRyanJr. There does seem to be an another area where it has been spliced. But, I think this is the one the writers are going to go with for the story line.

As for the spliced piece, I found it even more interesting that it was placed in a Bible. What, No one ever opens a Bible? When I see a book, the first thing I do is open it up. Right stick it a Bible and hide it in a trunk, with a glass eye. Ther is another thread that you might be interested in that has a very good theory about the sabatoge.

I think there is a piece of film in each hatch along with other clues that when put together tell the whole story.

I don't think the incident can have happened 16 years ago, as the film was supposedly made in 1980. I think the 20 year old army knife is related to the incident too, like perhaps the military was called in to deal with the incident.
