Thats fine, you did not write a thread on it. Better to get in a comment at the end of a nearly dead thread than starting a whole new one.

Some sources say that the swan stands for the ethereal. It represents the presence of divine inspiration in our world.
The definition of "ethereal":lacking material form or substance; unreal; "as insubstantial as a dream"; "an insubstantial mirage on the horizon"

Thus pushing the button is an act of faith based on an unreal conclusion. Saving the world was the mirage on the horizon so to speak.

I loved the memorial to the Swan station the show inserted during the cartoons Jack was watching. A little cartoon of a momma swan and her babies.

oooh! I wondered why they were making Jack watch old cartoons. I didn't even think about them being swans. You're good!!!

Hello all, first time posting. I thought I'd make an observation about how the hatches are named:
swan / Cygnus; arrow / Sagitta; hydra / Hydra; flame / sun; pearl / moon ; staff / Ophiucus (serpent holder)

On the blast door map is “hic sunt dracones” so maybe there is a hatch with a dragon for a symbol (Draco)

Well the undiscovered hatches are "The Flame" or atleast we call it the flame because of the logo, maybe that is for your Draco hatch?

Also there is C3 and C4, which could be Draco aswell.

I think the hatches are named for heavenly bodies of one kind or another, but there aren't any contellations that mean "flame" or "pearl" so that's why I'm guessing sun and moon. The only one thats got me is the fake hatch....does anyone know what's written on it?

Other than DHARMA nothing else.
