ARG: DHARMA Recruitment
- Hans Van Eegen, the head of recruitment for DHARMA, showed up and told everyone at CC that they sucked and couldn\'t find anyone except for 5 people who are able to move on to the next stage.
Then he plugged dharmawantsyou.com.
Questions and Answers:
When the hatch imploded at the end of season 2, did the Island travel then? The answer: No
The fate of Jin and Locke? Will we still see them? The answer: Jin will still be on the show in some capacity. We haven\'t seen the last of Locke. Both characters have a lot of story left to be told in their time lines. Death is a relative term in this show.
When is the show back? How many eps? The answer: Feb 2009, Feb 2010. 17 hrs per season.
Which ep/season is their favorite: Cuse: The Constant is his fav episode, Season 1 is his fav. Damon: S1 finale is his favorite episode. S4 is his favorite season.
Does the S4 artwork with the jungle reflecting into a city in the water have any extra meaning? Answer: no, it just refers to the O6 getting found.
Will there be a Rousseau flashback: Answer: Danielle\'s story will be told, "but it will not be a flashback." This is something new that they are steering toward for season 5, a new way of telling the story that isn\'t flash back or flash forward. There will still be flash back and flash forward.
How much does the rest of the writing staff know how the show will end? Answer: The writers don\'t know everything, but they know most of it.
Matthew Fox shows up
Will Kate see Sawyer again? Answer: Yes
What happened to Daniel Farraday\'s boat? Answer: No answer, they dodge it...
How far will you go into the future for flash forwards? Answer: S5 will start off with you trying to figure out when and where you are. But they will be telling stories via flash forward, flash back and in a new method. There will be on-island and off-island stories. No real answer to the guy\'s question though.
How did Daniel know about the seconday protocol. Answer: Daniel\'s notebook has all sorts of things from the past and the furture. His notebook will figure prominently in Season 5.
Do you ever write yourselves into a corner? Answer: No, not really.
How old is Richard Alpert? How many toes does he have? Answer: No answer on the age. Not 125 yrs old. We will see Richard barefoot in the very near future.
ARG content
One of the winners of the DHARMA contest comes back on-stage and shows the video he took while in level 2 of DHARMA\'s recruitment stage. It shows Marvin Candle with his real name discussing how he knows DHARMA will get purged and therfore he is sending the video 30 years in the future today so that DHARMA can be rebuilt. This is apparently what the ARG will be all about.
Here\'s the video of that:
