Let’s Get Lost

The Lost Experience ARG has been solved, and this is the result: a “training video” explaining the origin and purpose of the Dharma Initiative, straight from the mouth of Alvar Hanso himself. Needless to say, SPOILERS abound.

Bitchin’!

I’m still not 100% sold on the way the ARG treated some aspects of Lost the television show as fiction and others as reality, thereby making it pretty unclear how this little video fits into the canon of the TV Lost world. And there are some cringeworthy acting moments there toward the end. But still, pretty bitchin’. Anything that exploits what Infocult might call the Gothic potential of old media as astutely as this does is worth putting up with some problems for.
