Look, I like Lost as much as the next guy, but in terms of
weird and inventive plots, Lost can't touch the original
castaways of Gilligan's Island. Smoke Monsters? Bah, how
about a guy who surf's a tsunami all the way to the Island, and
then (with the help of the Professor, catches the wave on the
rebound to surf all the way back home) Hatches? Pthfft !
How about a radioactive meteor that ages people prematurely.
And finally, the coup-de-grace, how about a musical rendition
of Hamlet? Let's see Kate and Sawyer do that !
