Not sure if its allowed to link it up through the forums, but if you could possibly get us a link, that would be amazing.

As far as your thoughts go Blackbird, i was looking at that myself last night trying to form some sort of connection between the Blast Door Map and what the timer said when it had reached zero. You might be stretching things just a little bit to make them fit, but i for sure agree that there is some connection between that counter and the other hatches.

In both Orientation and What Kate Did, we get to see the video that Dharma created for its workers. The man talking uses a model of the computer room (what i would assume would be taking from the Swan Hatch) to illustrate where and how to input the numbers to the computer. From what we know right now, the Swan hatch is the only hatch which HAS a computer to input numbers. (gaining my thoughts....trying to remember where i was headed......)

RIGHT, okay. So, going off of what you said, perhaps these symbols that are on the clock ARE connected to specific hatches which are on the blast door map. (this borders on the lines of speculation i know...just bare with me) Perhaps when the clock hits zero (and is allowed to stay there) it activates the other sites? Who knows.

All that to say that i think you're on to something. Getting the names from the blast door map of the other hatches also addds strength to your thoughts i think. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
