Oh my oh my. Just saw the latest episode.
!SPOILERS!
That was a cracker! This series hasnt really felt like Classic
Lost yet. Weird time scales and rubbish flashbacks (Apart from Mr Locke of course) but this one was great, oh the mystery of the Island and The Dharma Initiative! So theother surivors ahve found another hatch to live in? It looked like the same entrance to the hatch we all know and love.
!WARNING! GEEK ALERT!
The wonderful producers at ABC are really using the internet to their advantage with
Lost. Ive never seen this done before and i think its an excellant idea. By creating fictional sites for different elements of the show, but hiding hints, clues and spoilers in them is ingenius. Its a really good idea for promotion, especially for keeping the fans interested. Not only do we have the official
Lost Website and the
DriveShaft Website for Charlies band, but also the brilliantly creepy
Oceanic-Airlines Website, However, we now have the launch of two new weird and wonderful sites raising more questions and causing Lost Geeks (such as myself
) to go Pee Pee in our pants.
The first is the
Dharma Initiative Website, the site for the creepy company behind the origins of the Hatch! I think this may be the official one because if you click on the swan, it will show you in Quicktime the Orientation video again, very odd stuff. Also we have the Login button beneathe the swan. I don't think anyone has cracked the login details yet though which is a little frustrating.
ABC have also launched
The Hanso Foundation site, the company mentioned in the Dharma Initiative orientation video. Interesting...
However there is another Dharma Initiative site
Here, but i am not sure of its authenticity. The swan graphics look a little hand drawn, although the sites graphics are far more detailed, offering you what looks like a randomised number thingy when you click on either links. Now i thoguht they were just random scrolling numbers, but if you move your mouse over different sections of the Octogon whilst the numbers are flicking up and down, some turn green. Ive only ever managed to get two numbers green, i think theres gotta be some kind of code to making them all go green.
One last thing i thought is worth mentioning, the Octogon symbol for Dharma Initiative is exactly the same as the symbol used for Feng Shui, i thought this may help with getting into the site but im not sure. You can see the symbol
Here
Check out these sites and see if you can dig up anyitng i havnt already mentioned.
I am such a geek
