Probably not seeing as we have already seen it at comic-con that was for that station

Yeah WE have because were hardcore Lost fans, what about people who watch it on TV and thats thats.

Also here is a what the Lost producers say about the future whether its actually the future...

DOC JENSEN: Another popular theory making the rounds is that we're dealing with alternate realities. For example, there are people who think the flash-forwards are merely possible future scenarios, not written in stone.

CARLTON CUSE: We want people to believe in the stakes of the show. The problem with alternative realities is that you never know when the rug is going to be pulled out from under you. We want the audience to believe that the jeopardy is real. Postulating alternative realities would be an escape valve that would be damaging that as a narrative value.

DAMON LINDELOF: You can get away with it in Heroes, where there is an apocalyptic future you want to avoid. But we're doing the opposite. We want to work toward a future where Jack is absolutely miserable and wants to go back to the Island. Everything we present to the audience has to be factual.

CUSE: We want the audience to believe that is THE future. We don't want people thinking, ''Well, since there are five iterations of this, I'm not going to invest in what's happening to the characters.''

LINDELOF: We're not going to tell you that we're against bending the time-space continuum. We are very for it. Carlton and I are PRO time-space continuum bending! But we're ANTI-paradox. Paradox creates issues. In Heroes, Masi Oka's character travels back from the future to say, ''You must prevent New York from being destroyed.'' But if they prevent New York from being destroyed, Masi Oka can never travel back from the future to warn you, because Future Hiro no longer exists. Right? So when we start having those conversations at Lost, we go, ''This show is already confusing enough as it is.'' To actually have characters traveling through time has to be handled very deftly.

CUSE: For example, the fifth episode of the season [airing next week] deals with time travel and operates in different time periods. It was a tough story to break. But we adhere to our rule: no paradox.

LINDELOF: It's been weird, though. When we got back from the strike, we had to put up a master timeline of the future, from the point where the Oceanic 6 will end up leaving the Island all the way up to where the flash-forwards will end.

CUSE: And the hard thing was charting a timeline when there's a bend in space-time: How do you illustrate that kind of timeline when time isn't entirely linear? That took us an entire morning ?

LINDELOF: ? just to debate the quantum physics of it all.

CUSE: We needed to bring in a professional illustrator. [They smirk.]

Bunnies seem to be a repeating theme especially with the Looking Glass station logo being a bunny.

Rabbits(Bunnies) are often used as a symbol of fertility or rebirth, and have long been associated with spring and Easter as the Easter Bunny. The species' role as a prey animal also lends itself as a symbol of innocence, another Easter connotation. Additionally, rabbits are often used as symbols of playful sexuality, which also relates to the human perception of innocence, as well as its reputation as a prolific breeder.

Sigh. Are you serious?

The reason the symbol for TLG is a rabbit is easily explained.

'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There' was the title of the book that was the sequel to 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.

Now, I assume that you know what happens in AAIW, but just in case you don't. Alice chases the white rabbit down a rabbit hole, and eventually into Wonderland.

Lost is full of literary references, the white rabbits and TLG are just two of them.

Also, one episode was titled 'White Rabbit' where Locke basically explains them. They signify that the island can do mysterious things, making it a Wonderland of sorts.

Well it least it got explained. Jedi obviously didn't know with that paragraph of crap he posted ...

How do you figure that it is "crap". Fertility is obviously a big part of the island as well, so who's not to say that the bunnies also don't point to the fertility issues that plague the island?

Is it only crap because it deals with a religious aspect? Sooner or later you're going to have to realize that Lost deals with a lot of religious themes. You don't have to like it, but it is true.

Because its a terrible attempt to tie in the easter bunny with jesus. The reasoning used isn't true, and lets just leave it at that. I don't want to turn this thread into a religion argument. Just put it this way: rabbits were involved in the pagan celebration that was later turned into 'easter' far before jesus became involved with it.

Regardless of whether or not you agree with it doesn't mean that the writers of Lost didn't add that in there for a religious theme.

On that note, in the Lost: The Complete Third Season DVD Commentary by Damon Lindelof: "Ben's penchant for numbering his rabbits "probably has something to do with fertility experiments."

We saw them numbered far before Ben did in the 'Orchid' video.

That quote also doesn't mean they are talking about religion. It means they are talking about fertility. Because, you know, rabbits '**** like rabbits'. Meaning that they have a quick pregnancy, have lots of pregnancies, and have TONS of bunnies each time they do. Those points don't automatically lead to a religious connotation.

I wonder where the Orchid is located in terms of the Island...you think its a bunker?

I'm gonna have to guess that it is near the Temple.

Oh, man. You should ask a member of the Hare Club for Men to explain the tie in between Jesus and rabbits/easter eggs.

Its a REVELATION....
