Everything in the hatch screams mid '70's to me.
We know Desmond has been there since 2001 (if we believe his story) and it is now 2004 on the Island for the characters. How long this Kelvin (or whatever the name was) had been there before Desmond arrived we do not know.
The film looks old to me......early '80's at best. Was there a date on the film?
Wasn't one of the founders of this Dharma mentioned to have died in 1980 or did I misunderstand that?
I'm not sure about someone dying. I did catch at the end of the film it
said something like "Dharma Industries..1980" Or something along those lines.
I did catch the 1980 though. Rewound it and made sure!

Thank you, Alaskabean
So no way, I would judge, that Kelvin could have been there 21 years before Desmond arrived.
I suppose he "could" have been...death would have been a pretty welcome thought at that
point!! But you wouldn't think that he had been there that long.
With all the food and large stock pile of medicine, I would say someone is
keeping the place well stocked..

Or had been. That box that Kate took the candy bars out of looked really old to me.
Agree about the death being welcome if he had been.
Didn't the guy on the film say that not long after the experiments began, there was an "incident" and since then, they have had to enter the codes and push the execute button... I wonder what that was...
He said they have had to follow some kind of protocol and I couldn't make it out.
Its been driving me crazy too!! If anyone else figured out what he said please...
for gods sake man, POST IT!!!
I have to assume though, that we weren't supposed to be able to make out
what he said.

Yes, he did!
By the hatch interior are we to conclude that the experiments started in the mid '70's?
That is an Apple II computer. 1975 or maybe as late as 1977.
The film skipping is irritating, isn't it Alaskabean?
