So everyone at school today would NOT shut up about the Lost premiere and I'm supposed to care about a hatch door that apparently opens to a concrete wall with a TV in it? :P Cool. Real cool. But here's what nobody in any of the 47 theory threads online has answered - the orientation film says the station was built in 1980 but the Dharma Initiative logo in the corner uses a 1974 copyright mark. That's a 6-year gap with ZERO paperwork. Is there another orientation film we didn't see or did the writers just grab a font and run with it? :confused: Also if the hatch was built to "contain" the electromagnetic anomaly then why is the concrete wall on the OTHER side of the door instead of surrounding the machinery like literally every real bunker ever built? Someone find me a floor plan or shut up about "the island is purgatory" :rant:

"See you there." - someone who actually means it. Day 11 of TwinPeaks' overdue WAV. Get rekt.

FlameFury24 you're asking about a 6-year gap in a TV show's fictional timeline while you're sitting on Day 101 of dodging the June 14 receipt headers I posted in topic 2005 :rofl: :rofl: the $4700 chain email with 192.168.1.47 still in the trace?? that's a REAL 6-year gap between the timestamp and YOU answering for it :dumbbravo: :dumbbravo:

Anyway the orientation film runtime discrepancy is actually 2:47 not 2:42 unless you're counting the static leader which everyone forgets but wouldn't that make the copyright gap 6 years AND 5 seconds which is the same numerology as the broom sweep angle :P :P :P

[Attached image: A crudely MSPainted photo of a broom standing upright in a concrete corner, with a red circle around the handle. Text overlay in comic sans reads 'Day 101 of June 14 receipt dodge' and 'Broom watching from the corner'. A calendar with 'APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP' all X'd out except June which has a question mark.]

A crudely drawn calendar on the wall shows months APR through SEP, all crossed out in red X except June which has a hand-dr

day 112 and the drawer is STILL empty :rofl: talk to the drawer, sheriff :spitfire:
