Obviously tonight's episode through a bit of a wrench into the Comic Con Video, but you definitely can not disregard the video, the producers make too big of a deal out of it. I think there are a couple things that are important to notice:
1) It's definitely Daniel Faraday talking, there is no doubt
2) This is not meant to be a filmstrip like the others
3) Chang emphasizes that he only has one shot at this, so something is happening that is going to make it so that he will not have another chance to get this message out. Which is interesting since we know that other messages were taped after this was filmed.
4) Chang mentions keeping a pinhole open and that if he can get his message through to 30 years in the future then maybe something can be changed.
So here are my questions b/c of all of that:
1) Who is Chang sending it to, who does he believe is out there to get the message that could possibly change things?
2) What does the pinhole have to do with it? Obviously they could have just hidden a video/filmstrip in the wall and hope somebody found it 30 years in the future but he believed someone would see it.
3) Is Daniel really dead? Does this represent a different timeline where Daniel does not die.
Any thoughts?
I have only one thought to add, I think that video represents that something has changed. The Chang in that video is panicked, he is in a very desperate state to save the Dharma initiative. If he knew that his group was going to be wiped out then he would do everything he possibly could to stop that from happening and he could potentially do a lot to stop it from happening. Just my thoughts though I haven't had enough time to process.
