LOST COMMUNITY Fansite & Forum for ABC’s LOST & Fantasy Entertainment

Marvin Candle, that cornerstone of the Dharma Initiative, made an intriguing appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con:

Could my theory about the island travelling back in time and the D.I. making a reappearance in season 5 be true?

For not knowing that her dear son had been nominated for Best Supporting Actorfor this years EMMY’s:

Aww..that’s mom’s for you!!

Now lets hope that ‘the powers that be’ see sense and honour Emerson for what was truly an exceptional season 4 performance!

Have you heard the news? Mr. Hans Van Eeghen, Dharma’s “Head of Recruiting” will be putting in an appearance at Saturday’s San Diego Comic-Con.

Check the official Octagon Global Recruiting email that was sent to those who signed up:

For your chance to get head-hunted, you’ll need to be at Comic-Con between July 24-27th and reply to the email via the ‘click here’ link.

The eligibility assessment will also be online “for a limited time” via a new site - www.dharmawantsyou.comfrom July 28th.

Also, in typical LOST-ARG fashion, the source-code for the latest email has some anti-Dharma tirade hidden in it:

“…If you’re reading this, wanna hear something cool?
I’ve got intel about his little “recruitment drive.”
They’re doing some kind’ve personality/IQ testing or something down in SD for ComicCon.
Buddy of mine works down there and has the approvals for their “booth,” he says once you go in no one knows what happens inside and you need an appointment to get in. He also said to make sure you’ve got your Bluetooth on and visible – he’s rigged up a little something.

The whole thing sounds like elitist B.S., doesn’t it?
Well, I’m getting in that booth and taking the test.
As many times as I have to before I “pass” (whatever that means?)
And then…
If I can?
I’m gonna tape it so EVERYONE can see what these idiots are up to.
Should be fun, right?
See ya in SD. RuckusGuy OUT.”

Sounds like those “Dharma-freaks” are gonna get their fancy recruitment drive sabotaged!

Apparently, there’s also some little clues on www.dharmawantsyou.com, in the form of tiny dots which are arranged to form an..wait for it..OCTAGON and Dharma Initiative symbol.

So, it looks like the fun and games are about to begin - you can follow the latest from Octagon Global Recruiting and the Dharma Initiative’s Comic-Con hijinx over at our forums!

JJ Abrams talks about “Lost” and his new big show, “Fringe”, in this video:

JJ seems to agree with most connected with “LOST”, that having an end-date has allowed the “end-game” to be paced and plotted exactly how it should be as opposed to being rushed and disjointed. Although season 4 was clearly rushed in places (due to the writers strike), on the whole it was beautifully plotted and a great template for “Fringe”, which will hopefully have a fixed end-point once Abrams and Bad Robot have given us the necessary story-telling that needs to be told in the first instance.
