Before I head off to Boskone, I should finish telling you about Arisia, which I attended last month. The other panel I wanted to share the results of is “Is Lost the New Gilligan’s Island,” on which Tom Restivo, Kristin Burger, Michael Pederson, and I (again serving as moderator) tried to find the analogues between the two stranded-on-a-deserted-island series. Actually, we spent maybe 20 minutes of our allotted hour on that -- the discussion kept turning back toward trying to figure out just what the hell is happening to the survivors of Flight 815... and we decided we liked the detour just fine.
But here’s what we did kinda agree on during those 20 minutes:
These aren’t the only options, of course. Could Vincent be Gilligan? Is Sayid the Professor? Maybe Kate is Ginger?
One thing there was little dissension about at the panel was that the Others are definitely the Harlem Globetrotters. Unless it’s the Hanso Corporation...
