If you didn’t follow this year’s Comic-Con, then you may have wondered why Ben asked whether the rabbit have a number on it. If you did pay attention, you know that question is a whole lot more important than John Locke could have possibly realized.

At Comic-Con, Lost fans were treated to a special orientation video from the Orchid, a new station that does “highly volatile and potentially dangerous” research. And it involves rabbits with numbers painted on them.

During the video, everyone freaks the hell out when an extra rabbit suddenly appears out of nowhere, and everyone is quite concerned to keep the two rabbits apart from one another. There’s talk of a shift set to negative 20, and given what we learned in last week’s episode, it’s not hard to surmise that the Orchid station is experimenting in some time travel experiments. Knowing that time travel involves radiation, it’s no wonder Ben would be considered about eating a radioactive rabbit.
