Are any of you familiar with a surreal English show from the 60s called The Prisoner? A couple of years ago at a friend's wedding, we met someone who worked in television. Somehow, we got to talking about The Prisoner, and he mentioned that his bosses were talking with writers who wanted to update the show. I wonder if Lost is the updated version of The Prisoner?
The writers of Lost have always said that they have a definite timeline for the show, and that all the "supernatural" events that have happened so far are scientifically explainable. Judging from the season premiere, the show looks like it is moving from the supernatural to the scientific with The Others coming into play.
