I am not 100% sure, but when you see the orientation video on http://thehansofoundation.org it states that it is for Station 3. and when they splice the extra film, it says to beware of Station 3. am i right? or am i off? maybe a different film was created?

I'm thinking that particular film was made for a different station. The ending of Dr. Candle's talk about not using the computer for other reasons was different from what we saw in the first one.

Yes, but who. So i willing to bet that there is a second orientation film, and maybe a second controlled experiment (like Station 3). Also what does the other film say? Who are they instruction not to abuse the equipment, if its not the survivors?

i will have to watch it again i guess. but i dont remember them saying to beware of station 3

I thought Candle said that using the computer to communicate with the outside world would, in my own words, ruin the integrity of the experament going on at Station 3...And it would make sense to splice that out of the film for Station 3 so that they didn't know they could use the computer to contact anyone.

this is the transcripit from the spiced piece

THE FILM: When the alarm sounds, either you or your partner must input the code. It is highly recommended that you and your partner take alternating shifts. In this manner you will stay as fresh and alert [splice] utmost importance that when the alarm sounds the code be entered correctly, and in atimely fashion. Do not attempt to use the computer [splice] for anything else other than the entering of the code. This is its only function. The isolation that attends the duties associated with Station 3 may tempt you to try and utilize the computer for communication with the outside world. This is strictly forbidden. Attempting to use the computer in this manner will compromise the integrity of the project and worse, could lead to another incident. I repeat, do not use the computer for anything other than entering the code. Congratulations, until your replacements arrive, the future of the project is in your hands. On behalf of the DeGroots, Alvar Hanso and all of us at the Dharma Initiative, thank you. Namaste. And good luck.

Hmmm just a random thought I know I am wrong but I think it is worth mentioning.

could it be the station in Zazabar talking to them???? maybe just maybe??

Exactly. It says the isolation will tempt you to communicate, not someone else. The isolation of being in station 3 for so long might drive you to try and communicate.

so, the stations are dharma , zanzibar is another hanso project right? also that seems to make sense that they would cut it out to keep them ignorant of the fact that they could communicate.
but it dont matter, none of that stuff was in that film, its a different film, shot at different times. the hair and coat and tie, all different

I want to know what was going on in this experiment that talking to the outside world would compromise the experiment. And how were they getting food there without having someone from the outside world there. Even if they had someone delivering it, wouldn't you be curious and question them for information.

i dont believe they get new food, i think it was preserved well or something and desmond was running out.

Maybe that is what the fire walls are for. When they mad deliverys they were able to block them off. Just a thought.

The name of the station must have something to do with the experiment.
you have the swan staion 3

the arrow station??? They seem to be a bit more prinitive on that side. they said when they went in there that is looked like a storage place ...what if that is the station and the person that was stationed there was just not give the luxurys that the swan station were given.

the Zanzbar station which had an an outbreak of "meningococcal and sunuab/homo sapien barrier" which makes you wonder what that station is for. And we have yet to find out what the symbol for that station is yet.

Yes, it was filmed at a different time by the Lost crew, but it was intended to be part of the same clip, they just couldn't get everything to match. Read the other thread(s) about this, there's conclusive evidence by Sier (seir?).

i dont think so, ive read a few threads concerning this, and compared screen caps.
when they filmed the original, they put the splices in. they knew they were gonna add things. they could have filmed it all at once, or at least they could have held on to the friggin coat and tie, i mean come on, its obviously a different film

Then you're ignoring the blatant evidence that conclusively proves that while some details are mis-matched, it was intended to be the same shot.

Perhaps something changed between the time they originally shot it and the time they finally went to piece the episode together, and they needed to change something. They missed a few details, it happens. Don't over-complicate the issue. It's just continuity errors. It happens.

I keep forgetting this is not supose to be having fun with this stuff:frown:

dude,
relax,
i have not seen any evidence, blatant or not, its somebodys job to to oversee the continuity of shots like this, if they are that sloppy, especially considering they know people pick this stuff apart, and that we got six weeks to do it then that person should be fired
