I am – Hercules!!
There’s a 12-minute short called “The New Man In Charge,” which is an extra on the season-six DVDs and Blu-rays on shelves this month and deals with what happened after Jack put Hurley in charge of The Island.
“DharmaTel” has seen it all and set to gathering all the details:
Herc, Harry,
I'm a long time reader of the site and an editor at Lostpedia.com. I've seen the 12 minutes of new LOST footage appearing on the s6 DVD.
Below are my notes from watching the video. It does a good job of answering nearly all unanswered question - certainly all the major ones.
**SPOILER WARNING**
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
* denotes answers to outstanding mysteries.
"I'm from the home office." "There's a new man in charge."
Ben's here to tie up a few lose ends. (He's talking to you!)
Is Ben wearing a Hawaiian shirt under his coat? :)
The warehouse workers are named Glenn and Hector according to the credits.
*The palettes were loaded from Guam and sent to various coordinates sent by the teletype.
*Teletypes comes automatically from the The Lampost in LA, which tracks the Island's movements.
"Wait, you can't just walk out of here! We deserve answers!" Sounds like he just finished watching the finale.
Station 1 is The Hydra, used for animal testing.
"I will have to resort to using an alias." LOL
The blonde with clipboard looks a lot like Libby...?
DHARMA had a mouse maze similar to Daniel's in Cambridge.
A diver walks by, probably for the shark tank (presumed, seen in video game) or The Looking Glass.
*The Hurley Bird was a subject of genetic engineering and a hybrid of some type.
*Polar bears were for electromagnetic study.
Pierre Chang wasn't the only DHARMA member to loose an arm.
"I repeat: The bears are not your friends." LOL
*The collar Charlotte found in Tunisia on the polar bear skeleton was a tracking device.
*Electromagnetic effects of The Orchid have "extremely harmful effect on early term gestation".
*Room 23 is used for interrogation and memory wiping.
DHARMA believes the Hostiles are the Island's indigenous population.
DHARMA thinks Jacob is the Hostile's deity.
*Room 23 drugs + video creates amnesia in subject to erase memory of being interrogated.
Room 23 brainwashing is critical, otherwise they'll learn that DHARMA was violating their truce.
"I think we are going to need to see that again." Locke said this immediately after watching The Swan orientation video in The Orientation, ep 2x3.
*Walt is in Santa Rosa under the alias Keith Johnson, the son of Kevin Johnson (aka Micheal's alias on the freighter).
Walt is playing Connect 4, like Hurley in eps 1x18 and 4x01.
Connect 4 has 42 spots (6x7). (The Numbers)

"Because you're special." "We need you." "You have work to do." Heard that before.
Walt has to help his dead father, presumably to escape being a Whisper trapped on the Island, so he can move onto the afterlife.
Ben shares a granola bar, similar to Ben and Hurley sharing a candy bar outside Jacob's cabin.
Ben's driving the DHARMA van! LOL
"I'd like to talk to you about a job." This one doesn't come with a 401k, but you get a lighthouse and a donkey wheel.
Ben drove away down the wrong side of the road?
If you use this, call me DharmaTel.
Namaste.
