Man, ABC is a Quirky Bunch

Found these websites last Thursday after watching "Orientation," episode 2x03 of Lost.

The Hanso Foundation
The Hanso Foundation is supposed to be the corporate website of the company that is sponsoring the Dharma Initiative, the cookey science group that seems to be studying the island in some way.

The site has some interesting clues to what might be happening on the show. The "Active Projects" page, in particular. Remote viewing and mathematical forecasting seem to obvious enough, but the juxtaposition eugenics really caught my eye. Also, at the bottom of this is a hidden link to a version of the orientation video from last week's episode. I say "a version" because it is, in fact, different.

The Dharma Initiative
Haven't really been able to do much with this one. I can't figure out the password, if there even is one. This site has actually changed a bit since I first found it. The little login link under the logo is slightly different than before and it now brings up an independent login box, where before it just took you to a flash animation feigning an IP confirmation.

I don't know what ABC is up to with these sites (and it is ABC, the terms and conditions link takes you to a Disney legal disclaimer), but good for them for really using all of their resources to really make this show something special.

Now I just have to wait another two fucking days to find out why the hell Jin was speaking perfect god damn English in the promo for this week's episode. Ass fairies.

I shouldn't be surprised, though, this is, of course, the same network that tries to pass Alias off as serious television. JJ, I dig your work on Lost, man, but what the fuck is up that shit?
