The Orchid

Hellooooo LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I submit to you today a THEORY. A time travelling, polar bear in the desert theory. What I am about to embark on is mind bending and scientific. It may be completely plausible or it may be completely plausible only in the world of LOST but it is a position that the writers which to take, therefore it becomes my responsibility to you to bring it to light.
Every week, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the 2 driving minds behind LOST, host a podcast over on ABC.com...In these podcasts, they answer fan questions and expound very little on some things we may not have noticed or don't have full answers to and they shed a little more info on that particular item. Oftentimes they can be heard giggling like school children, either at our expense or at their own...either way, you have to sift through their ADD...well you don't, but I do...being El Prez isn't all wine and roses...
Anyhoo, this week they were asked HOW CAN THERE BE A POLAR BEAR IN TUNISIA? The desert of all places??? And especially a polar bear that's obviously from the DHARMA station, the Hydra???
Well, our creators alluded to the Island's "Special Properties"....They even mentioned that there may be particular places where these properties are stronger and therefore have displacement abilities...They didn't say "wormholes" but the allusion was there....The other thing they mentioned was the "Orchid video"....
Now the Orchid video was part of the Season 3 DVD special features....I have posted it below for you all to witness....After watching the video, I will try my best to explain WTF you just watched...




Now, after watching that I can only come up with the following points:
1. The #15 rabbit has in fact either duplicated itself or travelled back through time and space and has arrived upon itself....
2. The yelling of "Keep them away from each other!!!" signifies that if the same being comes in contact with itself, who the hell knows what will happen..an explosion? The apocolypse? Who knows?
3. This "doctor" has been in 3 seperate films, all under the names of someone different each time....remember the Swan film? Dr Marvin Candle. The Pearl video, he was Dr Waxman. This time: Dr Edgar Haliwax..this name doesn't show up in any google searches, so I would have to assume it doesn't mean anything more than it's just another alias....that involves candles and wax....
4. The woman in the background yells out that they "are still learning about"....and then it cuts off....so obviously this was new technology at the time...
Has Ben perfected it? Is this the reason for the passport and clothes and does it speak to his ability to get off the island?
The other part of this mystery reverts back to last week's point made by Daniel Faraday, the latest Island newcomer...He specifically told Frank to follow the same coordinates that they flew in on...Do not deviate!...This was interesting because it goes back even further to when Ben let Michael and Walt go and told them to stay on the bearing of 325....Was Ben honest with Michael about the bearing?
Is it possible that if you select a different bearing out of the island, you could end up in a different time? Could this explain the 70's style pimp suit Ben was wearing in the picture that Miles had? Is it possible that Michael went back to a different time? A time BEFORE the flight crashed?? Is this why Walt would now appear older?
I have to be honest with the last part...That theory comes from my good friend, DocArzt, who runs a very successful and informative LOST website of his own. The Theory was so good that I had to share, but I will not take credit for it...But boy! does it get the mind going or what????
That's it for today..I think time travel, wormholes and desert dead polar bears is enough for one night...
Later LOSTIES!!!!!

That theory of exiting the island at different points means different periods of time might be able to explain some of the things you find on the island. For example things like the sonic fence which being highly technological really doesn't fit with the old tube televisions that you see on the island. Another example is back in the hatch the old dinosaur along side a current style washer & dryer.
The rabbit video where the rabbit exists in two places at the same time might help to explain how patchy was able to get "killed" and yet still show back up later, as well as how Desmond and Locke escaped the hatch.
However, the don't let the rabbits touch in the video may be referring to the Pauli exclusion principle. Physics again... The principle relates to quantum mechanics and was formulated by Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. It states that no two identical fermions may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.

Need to clarify that by "old dinosaur" in the hatch I was referring to the computer.
