The Dharma Initiative Wants You!

Or so we’re told by a Hans Van Eeghen via email.

Lost is the rare television show that keeps running even after the episodes dry up during the summer. Devoted fans got to participate in The Lost Experience, an intertextual cross marketing affair that involves easter egg hunts, viral marketing, obscure Web sites and fragments of clues dropped like breadcrumbs. It all amounts to very little in the way of understanding the show, but hey, it’s not like you had anything else to do this summer. Admit it.

Fans at last year’s Comic Con got an advanced taste of The Orchid orientation video, which as we all know, played heavily into the finale of Season Four. This year at Comic Con, a mysterious presence known as Octagon Global Recruiting were recruiting convention-goers to take a strange aptitude test. High scorers would presumably be invited to participate in a mysterious project that may or may not have the word Dharma in it.

Didn’t make it to California? Don’t fret. Starting today, www.dharmawantsyou.com will be hosting a series of tests for participants to judge their worthiness, and no doubt will unveil a host of interesting tidbits and secrets. The site is blank at the moment, but I’ll be checking it all day.

Yeah, so, I don’t have anything else to do this summer either. Wanna make something of it?

You want video? Oh, we got video. Two embedded videos after the jump.

The big question is, who’s the second man in the video with Marvin Candle? If it’s Daniel Faraday, that would be something.
