Fascinating chap. I'm intrigued a high school kid would have his picture in his locker.


Also, the cover of the Secondary Protocol pretty much confirms the link between Widmore and DHARMA. However, the symbol on the cover matches the symbol for the as-yet unseen "Orchid". The center spiral also reminds me a great deal of the old TV show "The Time Tunnel".

Good stuff. Yes, that is an interesting choice for a high schooler. I caught the Dharma symbol, but I didn't realize it was the Orchid.
