LOST EXPLAINED PART 14 - THE DHARMA INITIATIVE

#LeaveNoQuestionUnanswered​ #LOSTexplained

The fourteenth chapter in a series of LOST EXPLAINED videos that investigate the mythology and mysteries from the seminal television series LOST. These definitive explanations are based on multiple viewings of the show over the years and careful studying of the details, clues, inconsistencies and contradictions that make up the complex tapestry of what is the greatest television show from the 2000s.

Chapter Fourteen is a humdinger. It explores the history of DHARMA from conception to annihilation, but further investigates details surrounding their mythology and purpose. Other mysteries unravelled include when exactly the purge took place and who else might have defected from DHARMA over to the Others; what each DHARMA station's function was; how The Swan computer actually worked; whether or not the Others knew about the button; who was communicating with Michael via the hatch computer; what was with the Quarantine signs; who turned the donkey wheel before Ben; and what exactly was Ben's plan with Jack, Kate and Sawyer?

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

This shows was so above many pay grades, I swear. It's why so many are lost and cannot appreciate it. Thanks for putting all the info shared with us in a nice wrapped up packaged. LOST is the show that keeps on giving 12 years after it ended.

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

Loving these videos. Curious that this channel is so new, when most people have forgotten this show but just so happened to coincide with me rewatching it.
These videos have even given me a new appreciation for season 6, although I never disliked it like a lot of fans did.

I love the theory that Eloise turned the Wheel, never considered that before but it makes a lot of sense. Adding to this, it's possible she showed Ben how to use it specifically because she knew from Faraday's notes that he was destined to turn it himself and send everyone back in time.

I can't comment enough how much I love this channel. I can't get enough.

LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Currently rewatching it!

This breakdown is INVALUABLE!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Also, couldn't sub fast enough!

[CheapSkateGrower]

Excellent timeline breakdown and interesting points I’d never thought of that helps

[rachele]

I think that this is the most logical and simple explanation for the presence of the word "quarantine" in some Dharma stations. Thank you for resolving a doubt that I continued to have. Also the issue of Ben/Henry Gale and his capture by Danielle. Plus, I never thought that Tom could have been a member of the Dharma, but analyzing that phrase to Sawyer it makes absolute sense. Excellent observations. Just brilliant


All these detailed analyses continue to demonstrate how Lost is a great show because of all its small details never inserted at random

I’m gonna be honest, I’d be lost without you explaining the final pieces in this jigsaw. Thanks so much honestly you’re so gifted and a natural talent, the amount of attention to detail you use to simply things, im lost for words aha. But seriously thou, ive never once came across such an immensely talented and flawless person such as yourself. Whatever your name is, you’re absolutely amazing!!!🤟🏼💯

[peterjordan]

Your videos are very professional. The study of the show in-depth and broad. Well done, these tie up so many questions.
Thank you for your wonderful contribution. I do not doubt they will have lasting impact.

[ThoughtFaller]

Am I the only one that feels like Lost was secretly a true story 💀

[lastpme]

I forgot so much of the show and pulled out my dvds and started rewatching it again. From watching your channel I never saw the parallel of the conflict Jack and John had was similar to the Dharma Initiative and the Others. Once side (Jack/Dharma) Science vs (John/Others) Faith. When I rewatch it will now make more sense.

Speaking of wheels and animals...

Locke: Where did you get electricity?
Ben: We have two giant hamsters running in a massive wheel in our secret underground lair.
