The plane blew up in mid air and crashed on an island. It is possible, the symbol is not perfectly symmetrical.True and I agree that it isn't conclusive. Heck there could be a warped octagonal warning sign on the bottom of every plane out there. I do think it is a red herring at this point mainly because it is not really a pure octagonal shape. If they stamp DHARMA symbols on everything, then why would they do it on the plane with some sides longer than others. Plus all the lines connect and go all the way around. If you compare it to my link above, other that the sort of octagonal shape, they definitely aren't the same.Stuff from episode 1.03 is hardly letting stuff out of the bag. And it's not even conclusive.OK, now that you let the cat out of the bag, again, it isn't the same shape, i.e. all 8 sides are the same length and the inside is smaller. Check this link out from the Orientation video in last week's episode: LINKDouble-Yoo Tee Eff??Maybe there never was an Oceanic Air and Dharma set the whole crash up with their own plane.
I 
took the image and just put lines on it and if it wasn't distorted, it appears to have six sides to me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I am not saying it couldn't have 8 sides, but it looks like six to me if it wasn't distorted.LINK to my wasted time
Also, it could be distorted by a real crash, which did happen in the story, but this is a TV show I am not sure if the set designers of the TV show would have gone through the trouble to distort the octagon if they wanted to actually show a DHARMA symbol on the plane. Just one man's opinion.

Mrs. Degroot was prettier than I thought she was, but I hope that isn't her because she sure didn't age well at all. Wasn't their a rumor that the girl on the boat was Tina from survivor? I remember even IMDB had her name in the credits, but it was changed later because it wasn't supposed to be true.I wonder if IMDB is in on it a bit with the show, it seems like they have hidden nuggets on their site all of the time, before the actual episodes. They had the guy from Oz listed and Michelle Rodriguez, they had
in next week's episode and Tina from survivor listed last year. Why would IMDB know this info ahead of the episodes airing, do they normally get cast lists before the TV shows air?

Thanks caabeel. I almost replied as well, but I forgot that replying to spoilers shows you everything. Thanks for taking one for the team as I definitely don't want to watch any preview videos or look at preview pictures unless they are aired two minutes after the end of an episode on ABC.

Someone from the ABC message board did a similar thing, with a different result:http://img414.imageshack.us/my.php?image=swan6dp.pngThe plane blew up in mid air and crashed on an island.

Imagine there are hundreds of people doing this very same thing right now. Weird. Reminds me of this quote "you are one in a million so there are 1,000 people just like you in china."Someone from the ABC message board did a similar thing, with a different result:http://img414.imageshack.us/my.php?image=swan6dp.pngThe plane blew up in mid air and crashed on an island.

Looks pretty similar to me too.Also, the guy doesn't look like the IMBD guy to me. Anyone have an opinion on that?

Look, just because a woman has blonde hair doesn't make her the blonde that was on the boat.Likewise, just because a guy sports a beard, it does not make him the guy on the boat.I think its entirely possible and probable that the Degroots will show up at some time, and quite potentially as part of the "others", but they are not the same people as the people that took Walt.

Yes, it has something to do with patience and exploring more interesting plot lines. The issue of whether or not the researchers are the same man and woman as those on the boat is not of great consequence. We know research was being done on the island, and because of the hatch, the work is ongoing in some form (even if unchecked). If Degoots, or whatever his name is, is still alive and running experiments, so what? The fact that Walt was abducted by someone, anyone, makes you stop and ask why. If it is for experiments, it doesn't matter who is running the experiments, but actually what the experiments are aimed at accomplishing.

I think that they do...and I think they are def BS from the producers to supply misinformation.They did the same thing with 24. They had some casting credits for all 24 episodes if you dug into it, and they had Chase (for those who follow the show) returning to 24 the episode after (former) President Palmer came back.
Of course that was all a ruse.

Why do you think tonight's episode is called "Everyone Hates Hurley"?
My bad, I should have put that in white, but I don't like you saying that I have a habit of letting things leak. It isn't easy to discuss things, but even in other conversations about things I always hid them. While I don't think what I put in there was bad, in light of the other posts, I definitely missed this one and I won't do it again.Edit to Add: Tick - I removed the thing you identified as a spoiler from my posts, so if you do from your reply, it will be gone for anyone else. Again, if you see me do that in the future, please point it out, but I do disagree with saying that I leak spoilers.

Everyone hates him because he's eating the dead....where do you think Ethan's body went? Into Hurley's tummy!

I'd rather he eat the dead before they turn into zoombies. He's doing them a favor. So much misguided anger.
Just for fun, I did a comparison, with no Photoshopping at all. I compared the three images, your original one from lost-media, which we will take as gold, mine with the blue lines and the other with the black lines. Take a look and tell me if you think mine looks a little closer to the source than the one you just posted. I can distort the original image to make it look like an octagon if I want too and draw out a line of the swan.LINK
Now I don't know for sure, as GStrot stated about the distortion from a crash or a Hollywood set looking like a crash, that this isn't a DHARMA symbol and I cannot tell at all what is inside the symbol, swan or somthing else. What I can tell you is that my picture looks like the original and the one you posted was altered to make it look like what they wanted it to look like.

Apple announced their iTunes store will soon be carrying videos for $1.99 each, including five ABC television shows. Desperate Housewives was mentioned, so I am sure LOST will be available. No more question of where to get it. In the next week or so we should be able to download QVGA video (320x240). Yeah its small, but it is a nice fill in for missing the show one week.

This is a valid question. Remember in thread 1 some of us wereBut did it really?The plane blew up in mid air and crashed on an island.

at Jack lying in the jungle with nothing but a flesh wound after falling from the sky. We were all wondering how every one looked so good after a plane crash. At the time we all settled on "its a TV show" and thats what they do. Now with what we know maybe there never was a plane crash but all the people on the plane were tricked into thinking there was. 
It's all good.I do actually try not to spoil, but I may have talked about spoilers before if they were "in the open". I am just glad that there seem to be a lot less than there were earlier this season. Even this whole octagon, sixagon (have no idea what the six sided thing is called, pentagon, ?, septagon, octagon, ...) is OK with me because it won't ruin anything if it ends up being true. We already know about DHARMA and there have been tons of rumors about whether or not the plane crashed etc.Actually, I do remember from pre-season 2 that one of the producers mentioned that by the end of season 2 we will know why the plane crashed. I don't remember the exact verbiage, but we should now why/how it happened. I for one think it crashed because we have already seen crash footage and that the plane was flying. I don't buy into some alternate reality/mind control, at least not until Dr. Degroot steps out of the bushes and says "You have all been a part of a mind control expirement and you have actually been asleep since you boarded the plane at Sydney and we have implanted all of these memories to see what you would do."
We should find out. In my post above, I mentioned it but I also found it in a SacBee article. I clipped the quote since it was a pain to register:This is a valid question.
