Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) have finally found their loophole, and you have no idea what they've been through to be here. In "The Incident," Jack and the others stuck in the DHARMA Initiative days try to course-correct the events of the entire series up to this point, with the power of a nuclear bomb. Good luck to those guys! Meanwhile, in the present, the artist oc...

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are following the leader, wherever he may go.
