Does anyone think the colored boxes in the video are instrutions for inside the Columbus Circle train station to get us on the right train and that's it? Has anyone done a walk through of the train station? Looked at the signs saying where each colored line is?
Larry King is filmed right there, right?? They stayed there the entire time so maybe we are still there?

The green line

I wonder if Tom's box was originally green, then changed in post-production when the green line was changed. Maybe that is reaching, but it would be a reason that there are two yellows where there should be only one.

MTA service cuts and Tom's Ninja Star

Well.... MANY lines were just recently suspended or cut... and I don't think the Puppetmasters would have had any previous knowledge of this, so we'll have to give them a Mulligan on that (pun intended).

So far, to me, also? The NINJA STAR looks more like a COMPASS STAR to me, rather than an "X marks the spot" thing.

I know the city and subway system well.... and I know Queens rather well, too. Flushing Meadow Park is looking more and more like an option, but SO is Met-Willets Point / Citifield! The Mets wear BLUE HATS and have an ORANGE EMBLEM on them.

Looks like were headed to Queens, people.

Just in Columbus Circle?

Maybe, but I don't think so. The motion of the background in the last scene indicates to me that they are on that route. Some of us see the colors as red, red, orange, orange, blue, which could be the Columbus Circle station, but I definitely see them as orange, orange, yellow, yellow, blue, which would not be.

Amid the other color discussions, I have been trying to figure out if Crothers plume is orange or red. It looks orange, but I thought it might be the fact that it is filmy and over a yellow (or yellowish-orange) background, and it was actually red.

If it IS orange, it does kind of seem like a Mets clue, since the blue hat was specifically called out. Crothers asking, "Why can't we say steal?", would work there too, I suppose.

Hey Purplebeard, can you post a scan of that note, even if it has been debunked? I'd like to see it anyway.

White spots

Does anybody else see what appear to be flickering white spots within the colored circles over Larry's left shoulder (near where the ninja star ends up)?

They first appear at the 2:28 mark, and continue in various forms and locations throughout the rest of the video.

It could be a simple mistake, but these guys seem pretty good. I don't really see any reason for them being there......

Cruther's Hat

The feather is ORANGE, and there is a MAROON band around his hat.

STILL working on scanning that note. I haven't used my scanner in forever and I think it's busted. I'm back at work looking around today.

Also.... the Mets are on FIRE! (anyone? takers? Yes? No?)

white flashes

They look like reflections of the studio lights off of the cellophane they used to make the dots.

I would say that the Captain must be a Yankees fan, considering what he apparently thinks of blue hats with orange emblems.

Reaching?

Since they went out of their way to reference Mel Gibson in the Mario picture, could there be any connection to this picture:

http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/100714-ent-gibson-vmed.grid-4x2.jpg

It is from a movie the Mel was filming in Rockafeller plaza in 2009 called The Beaver (but has since been suspended)......

That looks like a possibility, the M104 bus route is purple on the Manhattan bus map and the schematic on the lightboard up to that point does look like that part of Central Park. But the other colors don't match up as easily as they do with the Queens lines (bus & subway).
