LOST EXPLAINED PART 14 - THE DHARMA INITIATIVE

Blackrock, eh?

The Dharma camp is on the island of Oahu called Camp HR Erdman, a branch of the YMCA of Honolulu. You can visit this camp today. The cabins are all intact and standing. Not far from Camp Erdman is the site they filmed the hull survivor's beach.

This show had great acting
Im surprised more actors didnt have longer lasting careers after Lost ended

“The original button-pusher” sure does sound like someone that’s super good at getting under someone’s skin lol

Hey! Roger Linus is Uncle Rico! It’s gotta be.....

Edit: it totally is lol I googléd it

#🤜🏽💙🤛🏽

Crazy how I’m getting nostalgic from this lol. Ppl who watched this in the early 2000’s will know just how unbelievably grounded breaking and epic it was. Definitely the first of its kind in terms of cultural phenomena. Loved when they got into all the Dharma stuff and went back in time. What an amazing ride

I'm glad you mentioned the cable. I thought it was a communications cable to the Looking Glass Station. I think Mikhail says that, too. But Lostpedia says there may have been multiple cables including an electric powerline. I can't see there being a gas-powered emergency generator underwater there, but perhaps a battery backup to keep the power on for a few minutes, long enough to call for help? But maybe they came up with a tidal or water current generator for the station. Still I like the idea that there could have been an electrical cable someone could have cut if they'd thought about it and dug for it, as an alternative to Charlie dying. Although it would be a live wire, so not the best idea, unless using explosives.

One thing that's been nagging me is how an underwater station, that's supposed to provide sonar pings to the sub, can jam transmissions to and from Naomi's phone, and presumably the radio tower? Other is how jamming works, which I just looked up. It's usually providing a more powerful signal like a high-powered radio station interfering with a low-powered one. But by broadcasting just noise or even static it's still a signal that can be traced. In the real world it's the content that regimes wanted to block, and there's little value to knowing where the jammer is located. For the island in Lost, if the freighter crew can detect where the jammer is, then they can send a helicopter in that direction.

I've watched a few Lost videos over the last couple weeks and almost none of them explain the interpersonal relationships. The explainers are always about the adventure or mystery aspects of the show which is telling about how much viewers liked the melodrama aspect of the show; poor.

I wanted to see the DeGroots come to the island it was so Stupid to never bring them into the show they were great characters who were totally forgotten and never used beyond stupid to do this when they were the creators of Dharma they would have been fantastic in the show especially in the final season.

Idk why but the dharma initiative was by far to me the most interesting thing about the show

Namaste !

What was the door station ???

great video but do you have to use voice to speech

Bruh remember when Ben had a secret room inside his secret room?!

Darma was answering to the man in black, right? He was the one encouraging them to finish his work on the hotspots? I was wondering if the scene with the scientist absolutely freaking out at the idea of the 'hostiles' (Jacobs people) discovering the swan site was because the man in black didnt want a repeat of his first attempt where mother buries the first wheel and warned him.
The summoning room in the darma barracks that links to the leaders house seems to indicate that darma had been in contact with him and were perhaps taking orders or suggestions, not understanding what he actually was?
In the episode with Mother, the man in black says that 'curious people who want to understand how things work' are the only reason he puts up with the greed and deception of the romans... theyre a 'means to an end'. Darma being his new romans makes sense to me.
(Im watching while working, so if this was addressed and I missed it, I apologize)

I have a question: Why does no one of the Others remember Jack, Hurley and Kate from the photo took by Dharma years ago? The photo must have been there somewhere so fake Christian could give it later to Sun and Lapidus. At least Ben or Richard could know that the picture exists, or even Lockes group in season 4 who lived in the Barrack must have seen that picture. Does this mean they changed time a little bit?

If they had computers and timers that went off every 108 minutes, why wouldn't they simply automate the release? Was this done as an act of sadistic punishment?
