Well during the two very good episodes of Lost shown on channel four last tuesday, I noticed an very strange ad for an organisation called the Hanso Foundation, a kind of scientific research group. After visiting their website I googled them and it turns out that they are part of the Lost Experience, a kind of interactive game allowing you to dig further in to the Lost mythos. Ringing the number in the ad gives you a password that allows you to hack in the Hanso intranet and read some very disturbing letters about disease control.
At this time I have no idea about the relevance of this to the TV show, but as the game will progress over the weeks and months, it will be worth checking back. To get up to speed you can visit the unofficial Lost Experience website and catch up with some of the clues without spending hours messing about on the interweb.
Jo Whiley (BBC Radio 1) also mentioned that the shark from episode 2 had that wierd logo on its tail fin. The logo looks like a Feng Shui Ba Gua with a yin-yang in the middle. These logos were present on all of the food in the Larder that Kate was locked in to, so it looks like the organisation running the bunker, that differs from that of the Hanso foundation. For more regular information on all of the goings on, it is worth checking out the Channel 4 official Lost blog and a Dallas-based blog on the subject.
Oh and finally don’t write a blog post whilst listening to the Hanso website music. You are feeling drowsy, very drowsy….
