RE: CONFIRMATION OF LAUNCH DATE FOR VOLUNTEER TESTING
I am pleased to announce that, following an extensive security audit of all departments within the Dharma Initiative, I am totally satisfied that DharmaWantsYou.com is now secure. As a result I am able to confirm a date for the commencement of our latest volunteer testing program.
Visit www.dharmawantsyou.com to confirm the launch date.
I have heard from many of you in recent weeks via email asking what will be assessed in the program and what the nature of our latest research is. I have found your enthusiasm and relentless curiosity extremely endearing. However, in the interests of maintaining the integrity of the testing process, I cannot be forthcoming on these enquiries.
Despite this, I would like to affirm to you all that I am extremely optimistic about these upcoming evaluations and believe that they will yield recruits of the highest caliber.
Good luck to all applicants.
Together we can guide the world to a better tomorrow.
Namaste,
Hans Van Eeghen
Head of Recruiting

Comic-Con 2008: sl-LOST.com Attends the LOST Panel Discussion

Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof provided a glimpse into Season 5 at the standing room only event attended by over 6500 faithful Lost fans, many of whom had spent the night in line waiting for this moment.
At the panel, the producers indicated that with Lost now over four years old, financial backing was important and they were pleased to have received sponsorship going forward from the Dharma Initiative.
Hans Van Egan, Dharma’s head of recruiting was introduced to provide a highlight of the recruiting efforts. Mr. Egan indicated that Dharma was looking for top quality men and women and had undergone an extensive campaign of testing via ASRs (Aptitude Suitability and Readiness test). He indicated that to the crowd that the results of the recruitment effort were – Abysmal!
However they did find five individuals up to the standards of Dharma. These were introduced to the crowd and then taken back to the main floor to the Dharma booth for additional instruction.
Damon and Carlton then opened up the panel to questions form the audience. A summary of the Q&A follows but beware, these do contain a limited amount of spoiler information:
- Did the island move at all when the Hatch was blown up? No.
- What will be the fate of Jin and John Locke, will they be on the show in future episodes? Jin will be on the show in some form. You have not seen the last of these two characters. Death is a “relative” term.
- Out of the entire history of the series, which episode and what season was your favorite? Carlton’s favorites were The Constant and Season 1; while Damon likes the Season 1 finale and Season 4.
- There has never been a flashback episode for Rousseau. Will there be a flashback story for her? Damon indicated that we will see Rousseau’s story, however the term flashback would be disingenuous.
- On behalf of animal lovers, what happened to Vincent? Carlton chuckled indicating that he was expecting a question on what happened to the people left on the island, but not one about the dog. He did say however, that Vincent made it and will appear not only in Season 5, but to the end of the series as well.
- Will Kate and Sawyer see each other again? This received quite a chuckle from the crowd as Matthew Fox (Jack) had just made a surprise appearance and joined the panel. Damon said yes Kate and Sawyer would indeed see each other again.
- How old is Richard Alpert and how many toes does he have? Carlton confirmed that Richard is quite old and we will learn about him and his background in the very near future. He will be shown barefoot at that time.
Just about at that time, one of the successful Dharma recruits, Dan Bronson, burst onto stage interrupting the discussion. He was visibly upset saying that after 4 seasons the crowd deserved “some freaking answers”. He held a video recorded up and demanded to have its content shown to the audience. After a brief commotion, the lights dimmed and his video of his recent time in the Dharma both was shown:
Following the unnerving details, which only led to even more questions for the stunned audience, Hans Van Egan rushed on stage yelling that the executive producers had made a mockery of his organization. Egan left in a flurry saying that he was pulling Dharma’s sponsorship of the Lost television series.
And with that, the panel discussion ended! You can watch the video of the entire panel recorded by another fan here.
From San Diego at Comic-Con International, namaste to as sl-LOST members and readers.

LOST Producers: “Season 5 Will Be Like ‘The Two Towers’”
Cast and Crew of Lost, Interviews, Mysteries, SL-LOST, Season 4, Season 5, Season 6 No Comments »
LOST writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse talked yesterday about the upcoming season, the Oceanic 6, Jin’s fate, and the Writers Strike. This is the summing up of what they said:
- Looking towards Season 5, Cuse said, “This obviously is a tricky year for us. It’s like The Two Towers. This is the year that links us from the past to the final season.” Cuse said that when it comes to the final season, “We’ve known what we wanted to do there for a long time. The challenge we have is how to we make this [coming] season exciting and engaging and put us in a place where people are excited about the last season.”
- Lindelof said it was very exciting to them to be, “going into Season 5 and the fact that people are still asking [what's to come] is extraordinary.”
- “We’re very grateful [to ABC] for working out an end date with us. We know exactly how much time we have left to tell our story. I think that end date completely changed our storytelling approach” said Cuse.
- Lindelof also said the strike was oddly helpful because, “usually we wouldn’t have had audience feedback [on the episodes that already aired]. We actually got some feedback, from critics, from our wives.” Lindelof added that meant that if something wasn’t quite working, “We were allowed to course-correct.” He pointed out that in Season 5, “We won’t have the luxury of that. We’ll be done writing [the season] by February and the show will have premiered shortly before, which quite frankly scares the s**t out of us.”
