Number 8: ‘Orientation’ (Season 2, Episode 3)
We just can’t get enough of the Dharma Initiative. This episode was pretty much our first introduction to it, with Locke watching the orientation reels inside the hatch that explained the button experiment.
But of course, in classic Lost fashion, some essential information was missing from the film.
The whole button-pressing stuff is endlessly fascinating and psychologically interesting. Is the button real? Is it a just an experiment to see how much people will do if they’re told by some authority figure? Perhaps it’s a little bit of both.
