Dharma Initiative Hanso Foundation: New Video Clip?

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

The Dharma Initiative film shown in “Orientation” (S2E03) confirmed that Lost is in the science-fiction genre. It’s something the writers had to establish going into this season’s mayhem.
This short flick is probably what happens when you’ve got a lot of time on your hands between classes…
