And sometimes on TV the costume/prop/continuity guys make a mistake.

I think the changed logo for the NEW Dharma is because it's now the 21st Century (updating from the 1970s era).

Not everything is a clue. And in the case of this online activity, they didn't have anything so subtle in the past, why change horses now?

Actually, there are quite a few things like this.

Most recently in Confirmed Dead - the change in the picture frames when Miles goes up and comes down the stairs.

When a production decides on a prop like the patches, with the logos, they just don't make one of them, they need backup, the pattern is programmed into the sewing machine.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Right now, I don't believe it's an error.

Javi's "cigar is just a cigar", I put that in the same category as:

Michael Ausiello from TV Guide:
First off, I have a bone to pick with you, Damon. Last July, I asked you if a female character was getting killed this season on Lost, and you said — and I quote: "I think it would be fairly silly for us to kill a woman — there are only three or four of them on the show. And they're all really hot." So, I guess my question is, how can I ever trust you again?

Damon Lindelof: I never said we weren't going to kill a woman. I said it would be silly. And you know, Carlton and I are pretty silly guys.

Um....yeah. I had to think about posting this, fearing it's way off topic, but in a way it isn't, so I decided to post. Theorizing about the tv show plot isn't usually conducive to the game, but here I think it's sort of applicable.

First off, let me say I don't go through all the forums. I have watched most, if not all of the episodes since day 1. I haven't played any of the games, although I started to play the Find815 one but lost interest. I have not read or discussed the episodes in detail or searched for easter eggs, etc. So I am not by any stretch of the imagination a Lost "expert". My takes are purely from my brain processing the episodes I viewed. Since starting this game some players told me I needed to go watch the orientation type films on Youtube, so I did.

This is regarding the "Confirmed Dead" episode. Most people refer to the introductions of the 4 new characters as "flashbacks". I think they are flashFORWARDs....in a weird sense.

Harking to the Dharma reel where the guy tells us that if the numbers of the formula are changed, then the outcome of the future will be changed. The whole "reconstitution" of the Dharma Initiative makes me think the "new recruits" are going back in time to try and change the outcome of the present. If they are successful, where the plane crashes could be different (Faraday crying at seeing the "what viewers thinks is a fake" plane found underwater), the pilot could be different (no ring), etc. And in changing the events, could there not be residual effects that might need to be cleaned up? (Miles' "exorcism" when the picture frames change from dumpy to nice.) I took the pictures changing to be a "physical" confirmation that yes, now that the money is gone (perhaps a footprint from the first time around) things are as they should be with the change. To me the shot of the tattered frame spoke of the reality of this woman struggling to raise a grandson that was in and out of trouble....while the second, nicer grouping of frames told of an easier life. When Miles removed the residue of the first round of time, things changed to what they would be if this woman hadn't had such a struggle.

It seems to me in the storyline the "spiritual world" knows what's going on and is working to that end as well. It would certainly explain the otherwise completely baffling disappearance of Claire.

To me, the whole changing of Ben's logo was a hint at what was coming up...the "reconstitution" of Dharma, and their subsequent travel back in time. Therefore I expect flashes of this type of thing to pop up in this game. I don't think it's a clue from which we need to derive our next move, I think it's more of a directional confirmation.

Does any of this make sense to you guys? Feel free to flog me with trout.....

Changes in the show hint at the different time lines, definitely! Time and space has been a reoccuring theme in the Lostverse. See Desmond and his out of time/space experiences.

But, as the nice little old lady said, we can't change the future - eventually it always finds a way to kill someone who is suppose to die (so Charlie was always doomed - but nice that Desmond intervened often enough to allow him to get to the underwater station).

TLE and Find815 activities for us online have not had any affect on the show. They've been great background for those of us "in the know" but not necessary to the enjoyment of the TV show. And linear.

I'm looking forward to this attempt (maybe this time I'll actually get through to the end - gave up on both the previous virals).

Sweet thinkng,Sass and (best) it does clarify Claire's disappearance.
