Shark with Dharma logo on tail

yelhsad319 · #1 06-09-2009, 12:44 AM

Did anyone notice the Sharks logo? Just before Michael shoots it, they show it swim by underwater. There is a Dharma logo on it's tail. Do you think this is just an "easter egg" or is it really on the shark? So then I wonder, is it a real shark or some kind of machine? I've also seen this weird bird a couple times. It is the same color as the greenery in the forests, and very large. Does not look like a real bird. I'm wondering if these are some sort of survellience, maybe they have cameras in them?
Is this like the Truman Show or something?

The DI logo on the shark was adressed way back when that episode aired. Most likely from the hydra station but who knows but we all saw it when the epi first aired.

Erm yeah i think it would be planted camera, I mean how else could you stamp a shark? I dunno about the bird though that could just be props error but im with you on the shark, unless it had fricken laser beams attached to fricken his head!

There was a machanical shark made by the props department and for a laugh they put the Dharma logo on it. They forgot to remove it before the shoot and never expected that to happen. So, TPTB just wrote it off to the shark being an experiment from the DI from Hydra Island.....it's explained on the DVD set from season 2 in the commentary or whatever it's called. They even show the props guy with the marked shark.

The DHARMA logo belongs to an unknown station. So what is that station or was it just a random widget creation (a model or for practice)?

Here is the hydra logo which looks nothing like the one seen on the shark.

Pour your DHARMA beer into these pint-size beauties available through www.lost.collection.co.uk/Mugs--and--Glasses.php

I'm sure there are other vendors out there with your specific country that would have this available.

"In the "Lost on Location" featurette for "Adrift" on the Lost Season 2 DVD, it is said that in the special features section the creators of the shark model stamped on a DHARMA logo as an "inside joke". It was meant to be only for the creative team and a small number of very observing fans, but the shot was mistimed and the logo was much more clearly visible than originally intended."

Thanks to everyone for answering that for me. I guess I would have figured it out eventually. I'm just renting the seasons disc by disc, so I haven't got to the Special Features disc yet. Still don't know about the green bird yet though..... any ideas?

I'm not sure what bird you mean, unless you are talking about the Hurley Bird. If that's the case, it has made an appearance twice I believe and it seems to squawk Hurley as it flys by.
