No - the LINES connect

I think I got it now - they ARE indeed points, we just need to map them and connect the "dots" so to speak.

I also noted that the blog says "The numbers and letters are re(a)d" or something to that effect - what numbers AND letters besides the W in LWK are in red in the show? Perhaps they come in "pairs" like the above?

wow that seems kind of scatterish though looking for red letters/numbers and in pairs but good chance. after plotting this on some graph paper the closest similarity I get myself is the constelation orion. Pretty much i'm just barking in the dark here though.. i'm not very good at this kind of thing. I mean the only thing remotely close to something like this that i've seen in the shows was that damned puzzle kyle was putting together... and the blogger kept going on about some puzzle business. But what about wolpernnen? It was mentioned there with effynj but it doesn't correspond to any numbers and even if it did that doesn't seem like letters normally used for graphing.

But I like the idea that when he says red doesn't always mean stop maybe he's talking about the word red or its homophone "read"...

Hey I just thought about something. The truck that Tom's been driving around in, anyone happen to get a decent readable shot of the license plate? maybe the numbers are interesting.

Oh and the red letter thing (unless this is just sloppiness on "their" part) kinda goes out the window as several characters i've seen wearing shirts/clothing with red lettering (example: episode 2 stephen's jogging outfit includes a grey shirt with the red lettering "chapman" ((I think)) its a basketball shirt.) Anyway I dunno maybe its even a clue who knows.

Sorry one more edit ... Just a point of curiosity, the radio kyle listens to is red.

I just can't get this out of my head. The blog and the whole Kyle XY website keeps refering to an Eye. I don't know why? On the ABC website the intro opens with the picture going through Kyle's eye (and there is also the shadow of a person in the eye). Also when you go to the "Why is Kyle XY" link on the ABC website and you ask that "person" or "computer" or whatever it is questions, and you ask "what does he look like" you get a window that pops up with an eye. For some reason I think that this is a big thing and will help answer who Kyle really is. I know this is going back to the beginning and seems somewhat elementary, but I haven't read nor have I seen anyone discuss what this means. I will try to delve more into this and see what I can find. . .

Oh, by the way in reference to the person who thought the password for the cluetracker (ACGT626W) refers to the base pairs of DNA is BRILLIANT!!!!! That is pretty awesome, but aren't the base pairs AT and GC? Not AC and GT? Wouldn't it make more sense for ABC to deliberately put the paris together if they were trying to really make a reference to DNA? Nothing seems to be coincidence about this game so I'm just trying to look at every possible angle and argument to get closer to the "truth" of the game.

Ok so everyone keeps disreguarding the train signal light thing right? But maybe it is something to do with the clue. I mean the blogger did have this to say: "Train your eyes on him and remember the lone watcher can't see the whole truth." Why would he use the word "Train" in that sentence. Seems to me like its not a commonly used word for that situation so it kind of jumps out at me... anyway, just my 2 cents.


Something else I noticed. The phone message says "meet me by the tree at 3:30" or something like that... anyway Genesis 3:3 says: "but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "

Ok I know i'm reposting and not editing and thats bad but anyway i've just thought of something else.

ACGT someone asked about why they weren't "paired" properly. Well one quick google of that should show why. A ton of sites devoted to the study of the human genome and biotech sites, specifically "Advisory Committee on Genetic Testing"... anyway I thought about something last night while watching one of the episodes.

Time seems to be some kind of issue, in fact its mentioned quite often and emphasized. And the keycard, while it DOES look to me like it could be a DNA double-helix looks even more to me like an hourglass. Then you have the 2 versions of the mada site, one with the old woman and one with the young girl in her place.
So what if instead of being clone(s) of individuals, or made younger via some "fountain-of-youth" genetics tampering... what if its time travel. Kyle appeared in the woods covered in goo... the um.. "lubrication" for slipping through time? I heard that somewhere forget where though. Then there's the missing campers... and the "strange lights in the sky" from the warehouse explosion, and the appearance of "kylee" all corresponding and connected.
The mada blogger keeps saying go back to the beginning... so... maybe all the tie-in is the first episode.
Just my 2 cents.

Something else that just hit me... the phone conversation about kern's body being found between tom and the mystery man... hard to tell but the voice sounds an aweful lot like Stephen's boss guy (brad.)

I think we are on to something about Genesis 3:3, it refers to Adam & Eve, the creation of mankind and forbidden knowledge as well as tying in with the reference to "meet me at the tree" which, to me atleast, sounds like a reference to forbidden knowledge.

I know this is way off topic, but I don't know who the board owner is and I was hoping to get permission to add a link of this forum to my message board, which has a Kyle XY section.

Interesting theory about time travel. . . I kind of like it. . . hmmm. . . well, here is a theory that might help that one. Someone mentioned something about some numbers corresponding to what might look like a star, more specifically, the Orion constellation. Well, I realized that Betelgeuse, a star that is RED in appearance is in the middle of Orion's belt. This might be reaching a little too far, but hey sometimes a little divergent thinking is needed for stuff like this to really hit that eureka moment! That could lead to something. . . Also, something else that might be a little far fetched, but might count for something is that of black holes. Many scientists believe that time travel is possible using black holes. It's confusing to explain, so I suggest looking it up online, but maybe that is why a lot of the sky images are portrayed. . . who knows. . .

Ok - I think we need to summarize a little. What do we "know"?

- Madacorp: mada is adam backwards (and is also an acronym), accented by the blog where it is spelled mADA. We do not know if there is a connection between the character Tom Foss in the series and Madacorp, but it is likely.

- Numerical references in the Blog seem to point towards biblical quotes, especially regarding Adam & Eve, forbidden knowledge and the Beginning.

Tom Foss is born 1962!!!

You can see it for a split second in S01E05 when Mr Trager calls their private security firm to confirm Foss is employed there. The black guy checks out his profile and his "Date-of-birth" is listed as (I think) 23(5?)-10-1962

hey nice work on the 1962 thing. Could be that the blogger IS foss. pretty sure that's been suggested before though. And yes, I saw the Beetleguice/red in orion thing also but after replotting the points i'm not sure anymore BUT something with time travel and the "red shift" which is an illusion caused by light moving through gravitational fields or something and has to do with how we see space. I dunno. Its puzzling fo sho.
But I will say this.. the more and more I look at that keycard the more it looks like an hourglass to me, rather than a DNA double-helix. The way the ends are curved in.
Now here's something that I thought of though. The blogger says "Remember that one line joins another to reveal an image but not the whole picture." which just screams some kind of graph plot.
And "The last moments shine a light swallowed by darkness." could it be a nudge towards the black hole/wormhole theory?
And also, if Tom is the mada blogger, why would he keep talking in the third person "he who follows kyle" etc etc... and telling us to beware of himself. I mean the blogger says "He fosters fear but what he holds is filled with half-truths." So maybe Foss is the blogger, and someone else is following kyle. Declan maybe? I mean Declan's in the employee list which I just figured he was put in there for future use but now i'm thinking maybe he's in on it.

~ one other thing... The blogger keeps on with this "the answers are read" "numbers and letters are read"...
Maybe the RED thing is not the right track. Maybe the ARG peeps have tied the game into some piece of popular literature and the answers literally are read. Of course, that could also be the bible so.... meh... who knows.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey im new here and to all this Embarassed.

Red can also be the color of rage or violence. If Kyle was made as a weapon do you think he could go into a berserker state? It would link the whole red does not always mean stop, and the anagram, iv heard of soldiers going into a rage during battle see red and cant control their actions (I.E. berserker).

Could be, but a lot of people are "on" the employee list. Amanda, Kyle, the Trager's, Det. Breen, etc. I don't think it means that they are actual employees though. They probably just have files on everyone. To keep track of them or whatever.

Could be, or maybe they are employess but they don't know it... i.e. test subjects.

Of course, it could just be bad java scripting on the writer's part. Maybe he just through in all the names that "would" be important so he wouldn't have to script them later.


By the way, Deltran thanks for the input and welcome to the forum. Smile


Just my 2 cents.
