Any survivorsw of Dharma...?

[Morpheus 02]

Just had a thought...don't know if this was discussed months ago.

But are there any posisble Dharma survivors?

For example, Razinsky (sp) was still around up til what, 5 years before the Losties arrived?

How about Dr. Chang? Think he survived the Purge? Or has that been verified?

 

[Mallet]

No other's have been "verified", and while the mass grave ben took Locke to was big, it didn't seem big enough to hold all of the dharma folk.

But we also know that Dharma had a big presence off the Island, so they are sure to still be around out and about off of the island. Doing who knows what.

I almost wonder if the Hostiles, when they wiped Dharma off of the Island, somehow took over control of Dharma off Island? Because they (The Others) also have a lot of stuff going on off Island (companies, schools, etc...) are these Dharma owned operations that they took over?

or did Widmore take over Dharma off Island? Is that why he knew about the Dharma Lighthouse station that Eloise was at?

If they ever do do a spin-off of Lost I'll bet it will be all about Dharma, Widmore, The Hanso Foundation, etc... because there are still tons of unanswered questions about all the off island goings on, that I doubt we will get answers to.

I do find it curious that certain Others are allowed to leave the island for various reasons (Richard, Ethan, etc). They always make such a huge deal about people not leaving.

How did Eloise get off the island in the first place? Where was Daniel born?

The Dharma Initiative is still active, quite obviously, as they were the ones dropping off food and supplies. Complete with generic-looking labels featuring their logo.

Miles is a Dharma survivor.

Ben also spent a lot of time off island. He had all those fake passports in his hidden office, there were those photos of him off island, etc... So the Other's did have a lot of things going on off island, and probably still do.

The problem is, apparently since moving the island and the hatch blowing up, the Other's on the Island have had no means of directly communicating with the outside group and no way of traveling back and forth from the island. Ben would have been the only one to speak with the off-island other's when he was back for a few years after using the wheel and before getting on the "return" flight. But he did obviously have their support, he had access to lots of money, lots of locations and information (police traffic camera photos, vet's offices in Germany, Butcher shops in LA, guns, spies, etc...). So there is obviously a whole lot of stuff going on off island that we will never know about.

Kind of makes me wonder what transpired between Charles Widmore, & Eloise, that she is actively helping Ben get back to the island, apart from that whole shooting their son dead thing

 

[Mallet]

Yah, Eloise's motives are a little vague right now (and may never be explained).

She seems to be working with both Ben & Widmore. So maybe she's not on either of their sides, but rather on the side of Jacob and the Island?
