Office Dharma: LOST refrences

I think it is really cool when you get to see LOST references outside of the show. This means that a lot of people have gotten really deep into the show.

In a scene of the U.S. version of The Office, in the episode "Initiation", Dwight Shrute asks Ryan Howard, "What is the Dharma initiative?" This can be seen on the season 3 DVD. He also asks this question to the character Andy in a deleted scene in the third season finale where Andy replies that the Dharma Initiative is the source of all good on the earth. Dwight then corrects him by saying "Wrong. It is an organization created by aliens."

In the 2008 movie Cloverfield, which was produced by J.J. Abrams and the team that made Lost, a slight variation on the Dharma Initiative logo can briefly be seen in the opening of the movie. It is during the introduction of the film which states where the "video" about to be shown came from. It is only visible for a few frames on the lower right side of screen. It looks almost identical to the Pearl station logo.

There you have it Office Dharma and Cloverfied Dharma.
