This episode got me thinking a little bit more about how Dharma fits into The Others' existence on the island.
Anyway, I think it's fair to say that Dharma had a few human experiments going on on the island. They also had experiments for the polar bears, the sea creatures, and even frogs.
But, what were the human experiments? What do you think they were?
I think the pressing of the button was one. Writing in the notebooks was another, etc. But, I also think that they had one that dealt with observing the behavior of people absent of knowledge of the outside world. My this theory isn't completely formed, but perhaps they would take groups of people, put them in the rugged environment, and see how they interacted. Maybe there were natives of the island already untouched by the outside world, and maybe Dharma experimented on them. Perhaps they tried to teach them about the outside world. Maybe they were quick learners and rebelled, and thus we have The Others.
Thoughts?
