Subject: What the heck is this about?




Witness: "Stranger," the 67-second long confuse-a-palooza that Abrams's Bad Robot Productions dropped on its newly minted YouTube page on Monday. The video, which has already garnered nearly 2 million views, is pretty inscrutable: a few indeterminate images, a soft piano score, some portent-y narration. But of course, that was enough to set the interwebs ablaze with speculation about what project the enigmatic teaser could possibly be attached to.

As for clues? Well, the clip opens with an impossible-to-miss Star Wars-esque field of stars. But of course, those piano chords sound kind of like Michael Giacchino's score from Lost, which Abrams co-created. And there's the black-and-white photography, which must mean...

Oh, whatever. BuzzFeed has a couple of thories ('from most to least insane,' as they put it):

The most likely being that the clip connects with a screenplay called The Stops Along The Way by Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling that Bad Robot bought back in June:

Reddit had a much more, um, unusual hypothesis:

they lost me with the glimpse of the mutilated man. Then again, JJ has had quite a few projects that I have had no interest in. After the attempt at a Khan homage with the last Trek, he's in my bad books again!

It is a profecy about the destruction of mankind and sivilization.

Then the evolution again will bring forth an equally intelligent being that begins a new cultural development.

But with culture, there also follows slavery, as all of us know. The closed mouth symbolizes the slavery of culture.
