Orchid Orientation Video

[D-Roc]

"6 of 6" - last one..or so it seems. Which haven't we seen?..I couldn't tell you at this point, but i'm sure we've only seen 3 or 4. The Arrow one should be riviting..

YouTube - The Orchid - LOST (RHQ)

I wish we got to see the completed version of that lol, but we never get all the facts do we?

And lol @ Locke's reaction Ben putting the metal stuff in the vault

[Malion]

You have to think, which station needs a video?

I'd say Swan, Pearl, Orchid... obviously.

the other three would probably be... Flame, Tempest, and not sure about the last...
Could be Arrow, Hydra, or even the Temple.

Did anyone notice how Locke himself seemed "speeded up" as he tried to press Stop? Either that was the case or my eyes were playing tricks on me.

Here are the out-takes if anyone's interested. We've posted this before, but now would perhaps be an good time to re-post it:

Oh my goodness, you're right!!

Mind.Blown.

This is potentially very big..will give it some more thought, but great spot indeed.

I am REALLY relieved someone else noticed. It looked really strange, I have seen that scene 3 times now and knew something was up.

Very weird indeed.

It is quite scary actually - real life being speeded up like that is terrifying.

I'm glad someone else saw that - I thought my version was just messed up. It seemed to me almost as though Locke went into rewind or something ... certainly it wasn't quite normal.

He seemed 'fast forwarded'. It could have something to do with the Video Player rewinding. I thought it was a production error, which seemed very unlikely however.

How funny! I thought it seemed a bit fast also, but figured it was just my recorder or sleepy eyes. Glad someone decided to mention it. lol

I knew something had to be up because I watched it on Sky and noticed it as it aired, while also seeing it on my Video Recorder afterwards.

It is still creeping me out actually.

It is quite freaky!

I've been thinking about this, and wondering whether the tape rewinded because the process of moving the bunny rabbit forwards (or was it backwards?) in time caused the magnetic machinery inside the video recorder to rewaind.

So, basically, did Edgar Hallowax's experiment in time-travelling that bunny cause thet video equipment to rewind at the time of him making that video..and not anything that happened at the time of Locke watching it, if that makes sense..

But then that wouldn't explain why the tape didn't stop when Locke pressed the stop button..or why Locke himself sped up

This is most interesting. Perhaps they are alluding to the idea that WE the audience are metaphorically watching a tape..a film, and that the moment the 'film' reached the stage where it was about to jump forward in time (Ben preparing to turn the wheel), it encountered a glitch..causing Locke's film to rewind and our film to speed forward.

it's almost as if the film serves as a metaphor for the events that are being played out before us. which begs the question - who has their finger on the stop, start, rewind and forward buttons of the Losties?

There's no doubt that a game (so to speak) of sorts is being played out..who therefore is the gamer?
