Station 6-Orchid

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND the following notes were posted over at MySpace July 29, 2007. I'm just moving all my older notes over here to keep all the notes together.

Hi Losties!

A little side-bar from the episode notes is needed here!
Well, well, well....We all are trying to figure out this new clue to our puzzle!
Station 6- ORCHID!

Many of you wanted my thoughts on what I think is going on here. Again, do I need to say, the following are just my thoughts? ...

We have NO information to go on, so how do we start an investigation? Well, with the word ORCHID.
The word ORCHID is GREEK in origin. (There's a Greek clue again.) it means testicle! YEP! That's what it means.

As I looked into the Orchid I found it a very interesting flower. Interesting REPRODUCTIVE aspects. Also most orchids are HYBRIDS!
The word HYBRID means: Offspring of genetically differing parents.

Now, with only those few clues {if they are really clues at all} and knowing that the film says it's not about plants/flowers, etc...Could it be it's about "creating" a "hybrid" "person"? If it is, that would support another part of my theory. That would be great!
How about other things concerning "reproduction" like "twins".

But like I said, we have NOTHING to go on yet, so to say I'm on the right track would be very premature. I don't even know if I've pulled the right clues out of my starting point.
We all know...Let's say it all together..."I COULD BE VERY WRONG!" LOL!
It may also have something to do {I believe a hint} with "Time Travel" and "Teleportation",...or maybe duplication and regenerating the dead for all we know! Mwahaha!!

Another wonderful piece of our puzzle and I can't wait to figure out what it really means!!

I've included the clip from that Comic Con which contains "language" some may be offended by. {I don't know who the originator of this clip is, and I'd like to give proper credit...So, thank you mystery video person!}






Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right! The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either! You all know I hate spoilers! And I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode; we all know what they are. Understood? Let the fun begin! I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance.

Need a Season 5 Do-Over?

FRAME 14 of DamonCarltonandaPolarbear.com brings us ties to Home and Ajira.

Here's your short review of clues.




The first image is of a pineapple.
The Pineapple is a symbol of welcoming and hospitality.



This clue pointed many fans geographically to places like Hawaii, the Islands and even South Florida.





Then the bizarre "Eyeball Eater" shows up as our next image. What could it mean?
My research brought a couple of things to light.

Eyeball Eater- Te Kooti's War was one of the New Zealand Wars, the series of conflicts fought between 1845 and 1872 between the Māori and the colonizing British settlers, often referred to as Pakeha. At some stage he was joined by Kereopa Te Rau, the infamous eyeball-eater from the Volkner Incident, and between them they mustered about 110 supporters.

Then Eyeball Eater turns out to be an anagram for Abe Lee Realty in Honolulu. This puzzle piece was properly identified by "Justin" over at The Lost Arg site. Great Job, Justin!

The next image is "In Escrow" which is a term used in Real Estate and other legal matters.

• * an account established by a broker, under the provisions of license law, for the purpose of holding funds on behalf of the broker's principal or some other person until the consummation or termination of a transaction, or
• a trust account held in the borrower's name to pay obligations such as property taxes and insurance premiums.

Next was the confirmation of the address for the URL reveal.










I was very happy to see that Ajira Airways is the connector between "travel", "adventure" and "home" yet again!!!
Destiny is still calling.

This hints to the many identities of this man.


Although "No such thing as curses" is said in a few episodes with a few variations, an example being the accountant says something similar to Hugo in Tricia Tanaka is Dead.
But this exact quote is from the episode NUMBERS and said by Hugo. The police grab him and push him face first onto the Hummer. They cuff him and read him his rights. He looks at his mother and says, "No such thing as curses, huh, Ma?"

Fellow Lostie Clay also went to Abe Lee Realty and shot this video. Thank you Clay for the use of your video! You can visit Clay's Blog "Ben's Frozen Donkey Wheel."



From what I can see of the photos and video, the swag was a folder with brochures for Castaway Getaways Holiday Travel "Get lost in the adventure" and Ajiri Airways Safety and Travel Brochures. Note "Oceanic Airlines Presents" is shown on the top left of the folder.
The brochure wants you to visit them on the internet at www.nosuchthingascurses.com

Another important thing that jumps out at me is the business card was for Donald F. Presario - Tourism Package Coordinator.

Presario is a computer. Could this have any connection to the clue words highlighted in my notes or just a coincidence?

Of course the poster sold out in a "Flash", continuing to leave me poster-less.

I'm going to call Mr. Presario and book a flight so I can get my ass over to that island!! What the hell does a girl gotta do to get lost in the adventure?!!

Until the next one...

"Kate says something similar to this URL to Jack in Something Nice Back Home "I'm gonna ask you... to trust me. Trust me. Just leave it be."
But I feel like I've heard Trust Me Leave It Be from someone else and I can't put my finger on it.














Frame 10 proved to be a bit of confusion. The powers that be did a great job of making fans feel lost!

I encourage you to head over to LostArgs.com to review the chain of events that occurred with things getting lost in translation. I know you'll find it very interesting.

Just a quick mention that Paul Scheer made an appearance on the Carson Daly Show. He chatted very briefly about being a huge LOST fan and about his presenting Damon and Carlton with the velvet painting he created at this year's Comic Con. Paul felt that the fans needed it. The show is important to him and it was a way of "giving back".
He shares about his blog with all his LOST stuff and how he was contacted by Ronie Midfew Arts, {BTW, does Paul say MIFDEW?!!} and how they struck a deal to create original LOST artwork.

The past few poster experiences have left me thinking there may be some nonsense going on over at Ronie Midfew Arts. I have concerns they may not be running a tight ship over there.
It sparks my curiosity when we head over to the site and mysterious things are going on like words are misspelled, and banners with wrong date or erroneous information, etc.
"Mistakes" had been corrected right away, but not before we all got a good look at it.
You would imagine such a prestigious and influential corporation would not allow such immature grammar and language rules to be broken. Isn't there someone who checks and edits any and all copy before it is executed for publishing?
Somewhere down the line there is a breakdown of communication. Or maybe this is a strong case of "It's all in the details and they're wrong."

As far as my quest for one of these unique and glorious works of LOST art, as I said in my last post, I just can't seem to beat the odds on a purchase.
Maybe if the Flash himself was here working my computer keyboard when the sale starts, he'd be the faster finger and beat these unbelievable sales that seem to be over in a flash!

Congratulations to those Losties who have been able to purchase posters and to those who got a little extra something with their purchase. I love to hear about when a fan gets that surprise sent to them. It's so damn exciting!!! It's LOSTASTIC!!

Until the next posters...

Edification in Vagueness.

This clip of Mysteries of the Universe mysteriously found its way to me. It is said to be parts 5 and 6 of the episode highlighting the investigation into the Dharma Initiative. The segment is part of the DVD extras on the Season 5 DVD.

We go round and round with the investigative team trying to shine the light on the secrets of The Dharma Initiative. Again we are warned of the secret organization and its mysterious symbols.

On the Isle of Tonga in the South Pacific is the discovery of a 1 ton air dropped food pallet. All food is marked with the Dharma Bagua symbol on a field of white. Manufactured- unknown. The point of origin is unknown. They believe the delivery must have been intended to be dropped at the real Dharma outpost. Is there an outpost located on one of the 169 islands of Tonga?

They feel the D.I. has made mistakes. As a matter of fact we’re encouraged to Be Vigilant! Be Aware! Of anything that may be suspicious.

An Ann Arbor newspaper prints an article asking for test subjects that are needed for an anthropology experiment. The person in charge is Gerald DeGroot.

Recruitment is a global happening and we’re warned a similar instance may occur near you. WoooHoooo! I say BRING IT!














The investigators of the show claim to have vivid eye witness accounts to “things”.

An “update” is placed within the clip. {We don't have a date or time frame to tell us how much time has passed.} Since the original air date of this production they say they uncovered startling new information. They contacted one Olivia, who mysteriously disappeared for three years. She has reappeared and reveals nothing.

Things to Note…Questions to ask…

* Puzzle pieces.

* Bermuda Triangle-Missing planes. This mysterious happening occurs in the Atlantic Ocean waters. Any link to the D.I. and paranormal activity?

* Character.

* Symbol.

* Roots. Tree.

* Recruiting.

* Reel to reel tape.

* Files.

* Link.

* Documents.

* Records.

* Same testing used for the criminally insane.

* Bagua= Ancient Oriental symbol representing protection. One can stand in the middle of the octagon and be protected from all sides.

* Alvar Hanso is presumed to be tied to the food drop or weapons.
* They mention two clues: Octagonal Logo=special identifier. They found four variations but there may be more.














Mysteries of the Universe also reports that the church they introduced us to previously, now is missing church staff. The investigators went through the church garbage cans and found a charred document with a Dharma Lamppost symbol.

Miss Eloise Hawking is the new General Manager of the church. She has no birth certificate but is listed as the mother on the birth certificate of Daniel Faraday. They question why two different last names and no father listed for Dan.


Mysteries of the Universe isn’t the only one investigating things…Someone is investigation Mysteries of the Universe. I would do the same.














Of course you can’t help but wonder has another organization secretly taken over the D.I.? As a matter of fact that question keeps me up at night. I can't help but relive my own experience with the newly reconstituted Dharma Initiative last year. I was tested and assigned a position and then due to the economy the Dharma Initiative was sold to the television show LOST. This action put a stop to all their projects.

It’s no secret the south pacific is an ongoing character in the Mysteries of the Universes' investigation and mine. So it seems logical to me that I take a field trip to this tropical oasis for a glorious adventure and see firsthand if this is all fact or legend. I can only hope there is some sort of reinstatement of the position I was assigned last year and departure to the "Island" is in my immediate future. Hey, a girl can wish, can't she?!


Forcing questions in to the light of truth! Only time will tell…

Indeed the final chapter of this story will be written and the book will be closed...Or will it?
