  • I find it funny how everyone freaked out about Chang moving his arm since it was crushed in '77, but the thing is that many of the orientation videos were probably filmed before they were officially released (Because the Pearl was built between '71 and '73). When the Swan was finally finished, they released both this video and the Swan video because both projects were starting up. The Swan was filmed after the Incident and Chang has a prosthetic in that one. Seriously, just use some logic!

  • do you want to watch that again?

    

  • I think the music is cute.

  • SCIENCE FOLLOWED BY NAMASTE. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

  • Insert in the tube and Presto, it is transported into a dump, fu**! I mean us!

  • Oh come on, i love season 1 & 2's character dev too, but everyone hates on the later ones, 3 went in to the others, 4-5 had mercenary battles/DHARMA reveals/timeskip radness & 6 had alpert/jacob flashbacks & was brutal..

    LOST was kickass its whole run, most people that rag on it are too retarded to follow it or came in late, & get confused by flashbacks/timeskips

    but ya, the pearl was a mindfuck, a whole station for a psych test..(while the orchid has time travel/displacement haha)

  • how many orentier videos are?

  • Thank you, namaste, and good luck!

  • so good series,fucked up the end -_-"

  • I hope so too - in this case the spirit of Lost/Dharma is still alive xD

  • FACE BOOK is the dharma initiative's next phase!

  • How awesome is LOST! but my favorite season of LOST is 1, 2 !!!

  • Its reverse psychology. They take notes and dont ask questions. Its important! The people they are watching think its the up most impotance.. All the tubes when to no where. They are the test subjects not the other stations.

  • how come he has so many names, dr marvin candle, mark whitmin, piere chang, edgar hallowax, y does he change it so much

  • @HUTBONGCUATOI88 It is explained in the epilogue, when we first see the HYDRA STATION orientation, if you notice, all of the orientations are numbered, 2- the arrow 3- swan, 4- flame 5- pearl 6- orchid But hydra is the first orientation film, in that he uses his real name 'pierre chang' and states not to tell other recruits about the video because he doesnt want to start making pseudonyms.

  • His voice and his face are so creepy!

  • Hi Doctor Mark Whitman Marvin Candle Edgar Hallowax!! Can i Call you Doc?? :S

  • Dr. Pierre Chang is the best.

    He's unflappable

  • that music scares the FUCKING HELL out of me don't know why ..

  • it's so creepy the way those Pearl people work thinking others are guinea pigs but in fact do a pointless job!

  • I think there is a timeline, in when our Losties didn't flash into the 70's.. but WHAT me confuses is:

    (In season 2) how can they find both the swan film and the pearl film, because these two films were created in two different timelines:

    - The swan film after the incident HAPPEND (season 5)

    - The pearl film after the incident DID NOT HAPPEN (not seen in any season)

    I think the answer is, that the PRESENT of our losties (everytime) consists of two timelines that cross-over.

  • Comment removed

  • how can he move his hand?

  • So, the Swan station was obviously very real, which begs the question: what was the point of the Pearl? Were they just conducting a psychological experiment on them to see if they would be so gullible? Were they supposed to monitor the Swan and report back to Dharma headquarters if it appeared that the Swan people decided not to/were unable to push the button? Or maybe they were conducting an experiment on the Swan folk after all, yet the Swan station itself was still important? I dont get it.

  • FUTURAMA TUBES FTW?!!?!?

  • the video says hanso foundation 1980 yet in 1977 dr changs arm got crushed in the incident and he got a prostice one so how did he move them both??? ¬¬

  • @MyNameMeensMe

    considering that chang makes his name anonymous in every video (using names such as 'marvin candle' and 'edgar halliwax'), what's to say that he didn't fake having a missing arm?

    don't take everything in lost so literally. 50% of the show is down to what you interpret. abrams, lindelof and cuse never intended it to be any other way.

  • @Tschiyeah the two films warn't made in 2 different timelines because there is only 1 timeline and the pearl station is the test not the swan the swan is real and the pearl is fake i no this because at the end of season 2 they find all the notebooks that were filled out lying in the middle of a feild

  • @MyNameMeensMe

    you are a little dumb aren't you? ^.^

    1) Finding the notebooks is evidence that the pearl was only a psychological experiment on HUMANS. It is as real as the pearl, the flame, the door, the arrow, the looking glass, the temple. That's that.

    2) I assumed that you are dumb, because in the pearl's video Chang CAN move his hand, despite the fact that the video was recorded AFTER Season 5's finale (The Incidend)

    So tell me, Mr-I-know: How is it, that Chang can move his CRUSHED hand?

  • @Tschiyeah Hi there

    1) The Temple isn't a part of the DHARMA Initiative and The Pearl was fake.

    2) I never said Chang could move his arm after the Incident! As a matter of fact The first comment i posted on this video questioned the fact that he could move his arm.

    So what have we learned? Thats wright don't climb to far up the mountain or you might accidently fall down! :)

  • @Tschiyeah looks like you where wrong :D

  • @MyNameMeensMe whaaat? :D (I didn't meant to insult you)

    but nevertheless: "Looks like you were wrong, too! *KICK* (Jack-Style xDD)

  • @Tschiyeah if your gonna be jack style you need to kick then cry the kick the cray. its like wax on, wax off

  • damn, i used to watch this show every week until they stopped showing showing this in my country the netherlands :(

  • Sum 41.

  • I love Pierre Chang, he was awesome as a proper character in Season 5 :)

  • I hate it when his voice goes all deep, it's so creepy.

  • this is just the security station Soyer and his crew worked here. they might want to keep an eye on every member because of there fear of Hustle infiltration. it might even be to keep an eye on Soyer since he talked to Richerd and vertually appeard out of nowhere.

  • I dont think the pearl station and the security station which we see Sawyer and Phil at in 1977 are one and the same. Where is that little prison bit off to the left where they held Sayid and young ben took him a sandwich?

    The pearl was supposed to be of high secrecy as they were watching the other stations, although it seems that what they were doing in the pearl was also useless as all the pneumatic tubes full of their notes were just stacked up in that pile and never ever read or looked at

  • I hate how the camera keeps getting up in his face lol

  • matenizer, they were pushing the button to control the electromagnetism down there. when Des didn't press it, it brought down Oceanic Flight 815. they weren't pressing it to stop the island from time-shifting.

    not so sure about the actual purpose of The Pearl though, besides the experiment. although, being in that station made Locke lose his faith, which ultimately resulted in Desmond turning the key and imploding The Swan. so maybe it was just a means to an end, to get Locke to lose his way

  • The people in the pearl where actually being the ones being experimented apon. And the point to pressing the button is, when the dharma people had their "incedint" they actually hit a massive pocket of energy, and the only way to contain it was to build the swan station over it, once they push the button the energy is converted and used to power everything they have on the island, when the key is turned it cuts off the energy conversion process and the energy then implodes the swan afterwords.

  • is everything still being powered even though the hatch has been destroyed?

  • yup that what I got from it I just watched season 2 and figured that out especially since nobody asked how the island is getting power. however the berexes might have old generators because they were before the pocket was found. but how did the orchid have power now that's a question.

  • We actually dont know for sure where the power is coming from, weve never seen any power station, although some have guessed the Tempest, but i just thought that produced toxic gas.

    The volcano still has a part to play in season 6, so i wouldnt be surprised if the power was being harnessed geo-thermally? The Swan was using geo thermal power, so we know they were already doing it there.......i just think if there was a huge electricity station on the island we would have seen it by now!!

  • you could be right but I have not herd about the volcano maybe the writers are going to let that one die but who knows they have so much questions to ansewer in this season they might just over look it. it looks like they might just focus on the popular fan questions first like libby and Henery Gale.

  • its pretty wel known the writers have said they WONT be revisiting libbys story, but maybe the real henry gales story will be told, i cant see how though- the only relevant thing is that on his ballon it had a "widmore industries" logo.

    They mention the volcano in the commentary for the season 3 dvd episode "the man behind the curtain" and they say it has a very important role to play in the story of the island.Sometimes you just cant trust what the say,once they said thered be no time travel!

  • I hope they reviisit the Libby story because the Hennery gale Story kinda explains itself. it seems that Mr. Gale was looking for the island for Widmore and found it then they found him and do what the others do or knowing Ben he killed Mr. Gale wiithout Jacobs OK. the Libby thing could be an easy guest star in sombody else's flashback and they could shoot it in L.A Ohh and wikipidia has an awesome season 6 poster that needs checking out too there is some cool comicon vids for s6 on youtube.

  • @TheHeuristicIslander

    the writers said the tempest is a station that hosts electricity for the island along with the gasses

  • if the island was being powered by this energy from the swan that is controlled by the timer, where were they getting the power to run all the other stations and the barracks BEFORE they had the incident and hit this energy? If you recall, sayid said the Swan was run on a geo-thermal generator, which was underneath, and was the reason why the shower smelt of sulphur (as kate noted). That energy build up wasnt being harnessed for power, just controlled by being released safely and periodically.

  • yep, it sure set off a chain of events!!

  • this is creepy.

    the 2 guys in the pearl think they are cool and the swan people are guinea pigs.

    and in reality, well, haha, they're nothing.

    but what's the point? what is ACTUALLY important, is it a cover for something?

  • @sirtristan01 There supposed to be entertained by the pearl guys haha.

  • Since this station watches the swan, this must have been constructed after the swan incident. I have the idea that this station might have been set up as a cover-up for what was really going on and peier chang doesn't know the truth about the island, but he will by the time he makes this video.

  • it cant have been set up after the swan incident as Piere Chang has both arms in this video yet the lost one in the incident

  • the dharma initiative is just what ben said, some fools that make their ridiculous experiments

  • Wait wait wait!

    The Swan was an actual station, what was the point of the psychialogical experiment? I mean, The Swan people weren't pushing the button for no reason, they were keeping the island from time-shifting. Why is this "experiment" needed?

  • The subjects who are watching everyone were an experiment in themselves. There is an episode where they show all the notebooks, and where they had went. They had been collecting them in a pile, and not using them. Merely studying the study-ers.

  • The people in the swan were also undergoing a psychological experiment. The believe that their job is of the utmost importance because...well...it is! But more than them, the people at Pearl Station are under a psychological experiment, seeing as the notebooks go in the middle of nowhere.

  • Who said this is 1980? The Pearl was built before the Swan.

  • read the copyright at the end dummy

  • *incident lol

  • yeah, 3 years after the insident and his hand is back to normal. i'm basing a big theory on time travel based on the fact that his hand was smooshed in '77, he has a prophetic in the Swan vid, but here it's fine. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! wait, this is Lost. of course it doesn't make sense ;)

  • This could be before the incident, he could have gotten the script and made the video any time really

  • Wait a minute...his hand isn't broken or damaged, and this is 1980...hmmm. That is interesting.

  • It appears the time line is all wrong. His arm looks to be disabled in the swan video. Yet in this and the Orchid video he uses both arms like nothing happened.

  • Plus the healing powers of the island.

  • I guess I was under the assumption that he wouldn't gain use of his hand for the rest of his life, but than again, there is no reason why it wouldn't hear normally, especially on the island.

  • heal, not hear, yay internets!

  • it is in another maybe it healed since 77 besides he was still on the island

  • namaste

  • 108th comment spooky!

  • yayy!!! omg! ur one of the others

  • So what's this guys name? So far he's been Dr. Marvin Candle, Dr. Mark Wickmund, Dr. Edgar Halliwax and now he's Dr. Pierre Chang.

  • Dr. Pierre Chang, father of Miles.

  • @reimitate Wow, you are really something. How can you even KNOW this? You are SO INTELLIGENT!!!!!

  • Wow. Why are you so angry at him? My guess is steriods abuse lol

  • I was a jerk a while ago heh. It's out of my system now

  • Has anyone noticed that the Music at the start of every DHARMA Orientation Video, sounds very similar to the Credits music in The show itself? Or is it just me?

  • GOOD ONE! I can't believe I didn't noticed before

  • great spot, nice one

  • Yeah mate. That DOES indeed resemble it.

    Like ktanrodriguez, Id totally overlooked that...!

    Good call.

  • im not gunna lie this whole video and this guy scares me half to death! The music the skipping and the guys voice my little brother runs cyring and screaming so we always prank him and all u have to do is show this video and my brother freaks out but i agree he is sooo scary lol

  • it's a double-blind study...

  • Hah ha! How ironic! This was the experiment! The Pearl the things were placed out in the forest (as stated in previous comments) so this was the experiment lol

  • was the eye patched guy explained an why he doesnt die ..can someone tell me who or what he is =(?

    or can someone give any ideas about him cuz im pretty lost when it comes to him.

  • Go to lostpedia and search 'Mikhail Bakunin' and it will tell you all!!

  • lol. "When the fruits of your diligent labor fill the notebooks-" they shall be sent into a giant pile that no one will ever read! what a waste

  • How awesome is LOST!!!!!!

  • @flamestar86 And this post has absolutely NOTHING to do with this video.

  • no there are not multiple hansos!!! have u even seen the first episode of season 5? he is one person!

  • His name is not hanso. It's Marvin Candle, Edgar Hallowax, Mark Wickmund or his real Name Pierre Chang

  • are there multiple hansos? in the other orientaion film he went by another name

  • to NicoleL88: I don't think so... it stops exactly at that point so it is quite impossible to understand weather he says "barracks" or "purge"... listen carefully...

  • he says barracks.

  • must be something in his eyes

  • in the end he says something like "go to the pala ferry... it will take you back to the purge!" didn't you notice that?

  • Yeah I heared it too! But the Purge wiped out Dharma, so they must have been to the side like floating in time kinda thing then!

  • He says barracks but it is just garbled

    listen closely

  • were gonna need to watch that again

  • It will take you back to Earth... Prepare for direction.

  • after 1:27 , the camera is on locke, because when mark wickmund says that the swan people thinks that the job is very important, locke gets angry, and thats why the camera is on him. "Every single second of my pathetic little life, is as useless as that button!"

  • Cool, I never noticed that he mentions the Barracks in this video.

  • Gerald DeGroot is JACOB!!!!

  • oooh! sounds interesting! explain!

  • what do u mean  id be glad to share theories with you

  • too bad those notebooks go nowhere.

  • I always figured that that was the point. The Pearl being the psychological experiment, not the Swan. It was the Pearl that were being testing to do something "important".

  • Does anyone know how I could (using windows movie maker) take a background similar to the one that guy is standing in front of, and film myself in front of it?

  • 0:38. anyone reconize them? they seem familiar

    1:11. They're typing the code into the computer of the first hach

  • 0:38- these are Karen and Gerald Degroot, co-founders of the Dharma initiative.

    It sure seems like some parts were spliced out of this orientation film, like the Swan's.

  • What's even weirder with this tape is that at certain points you can only see the upper half of the Doc's face, but I swear that the movements of his upper face don't match the audio track.

    Is it likely that these sections were spliced in, and the reason for only showing the upper half of his face is due to the fact that he was probably wearing a labcoat and necktie in those sections. This is really curious...

  • Those sections were added in by the user who uploaded this video. Those moments during the video in the actual show were when they showed Eko and Locke watching the video.

  • eeexacly, you aren't supposed to see the upper half of his face moments, that moments is when you see locke and eko instead, when they are watching the film.

  • it sais procede to pala ferry with will take u bak to the barracks

  • i love how the pearl was actually the psycological test centre to see if someone could record everything because they are told to, and the swan was actually more important

  • dude u r missing out on the best television show in history.

  • what is the episode when they go into the pearl station and they see the tv with the eyepatch guy?

  • nahh!, Marvin Candle it's not his actual name, his real name, it's Pierre Chang :p

  • 1.15 - 1.20 swan original people on the background 1!!

  • holy shit!

  • i love this guy. wickmund or hallowax or whatever. i really like this videos. great stuff.

  • he uses WICKmand, halloWAX, and CANDLE... =)

  • "the incedent" is when those people came to the island. (the people who jack calls on the season finally.. and the people who arent who they say they are and so on.) and has anyone noticed that chinese scientist guy has a different name every video... and they always have to do with a candle. halloWAX... CANDLE... WICKmand

  • what are you talking about? the incedent happened long before jack even got on the island.

  • He means the "Others"

  • Maybe there were shifts. You were scheduled for station 1-5, and the sixth station is either nothing important or they tell you what all the other stations' true meanings are (like how number 5 was actually the test, not the other 4.)

  • He says "At the end of your 8 hour shift, proceed to Pala fairy, which will take you back to the barracks, where you will prepare for your next...." and then it cuts off. It all makes sense.

  • what makes sense..?

  • Hey the doctor's name is different or all the orientation videos LOL. Check it out. Sorry if im slow to realise

  • what gives? all u see is his eyes! >:(

  • i found it interesting that they found all the tubes on the ground as if no one was picking them up ("ep. 2x23 Live Together, Die Alone"). desmond was right when he said the experiment is on the people in the pearl, not the other stations.

  • yeah that was my theory from the start.

    However what do you think was the experiment? Just to see if they would record everything?

  • why orientator uses different names in every dharma presentation movie?

  • yeop

  • if you look into the tvs u can see 1 thats running and thats station three sawan or the " hatch"

  • lol this isnt full, its still missing fragments or pieces

  • By "full" they mean without the shots of the people watching the video.

  • thanks 4 clearing that up :)

  • his arms?

  • did he lose his arm or something?

  • yes.

    he had a fake arm in the swan video.

    therefore, we assume this was taken before that video.

    or he had a "fake fake arm" in the swan video.

  • maybe even a "fake fake fake fake arm"... guess we'll have to wait and see

  • wher is logo of dherma !!

  • that was cool that they had video tracking to make it look real, however the tracking when the video starts to spazz out is fake. That looks more like tracking that would occur with an analog television set. Video tapes arent usually that fuzzy (soundwise) when they wear out like that.

  • Desmond said it all. They are in a bloody snow globe. The whole show is a fake.

  • what the fuck?

  • what does Namaste mean?

  • It's Hindi. It's a multipurpose greeting/salutation that means "hello/goodbye/peace be with you."

  • It does not

    it means "We bow to you, we salute you"

  • Actualy it's Wickman (wick on a candle). I think those are both fake names, as a lot of Dharma is about double play.

  • Dr.Mark Whitman ? What about Dr. Marvin Candle?(Swan orientation)

  • Yer it changes time from time,

    He's also known as linda!

  • I'm glad you edited out the cutaways to Locke and Eko. The close-ups on his eyes works very well.

  • Aha, the test subject is the pearl and the button is real.

  • bullshit!

  • Lame. The video was on a VCR tape and it sounds like the reel to reel player at the start.

  • 2 questions. 1: What was lame??? 2: Have you ever used a VCR??? (I ask cause it seems to me you have never heard of tracking) 3: What was lame???

  • That's the way it was on the show, dude. Get a CLUE

  • Does anyone know if this orientation film and the other one can be downloaded from anywhere?

  • I don't know If I'm stating the obvious here, but I think he said "No escape" Just before he bows at the end of the film!

  • Actually, he sayd Namaste :)

  • LOL he says namaste, hello in hindi. Dharma is an indian name.

  • OOoooo, lol, I feel like a jackass now! haha! But thanks for correcting me. :D

  • hahaha definatly. i knew when i saw this for the first time that the pearl was THE experiment. It was so obvious

  • Um... he said, "Namaste," which is a hindu greeting. It also means, "I see the light in you."

  • You bet! We have a page set up just for that. I really appreciate it! Stop in and see us when you can.

  • Would like to use your version of the film for our website. You would get credit for providing it. Check out www.longlostlist.net Please! I have the Swan film just not the Pearl one. This would really help our Dharma section.

  • Sure thing. If you've got a spot for credits of any sort, please link my site http://awesomestart.com/lost ! Glad I could help.

  • this is not a "fake" video but it has been re-edited. pretty good job.

  • shiley you're a moron, it's the same guy from the swan orientation film.

    how is it fake?

  • I must have hired the actor to make a fake fan orientation. Too bad I forgot to tell him not to move his arms.

  • only someone with the iq of homer simpson will think this is not a fake video
