Is Lost an Homage to Get Smart? The LA Times Thinks So.
The LA Times has a fun story today, pointing out that in one episode of the 1960s camp spy show Get Smart, Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 get stranded on a desert island. Curiously enough, the island moves and at the center of it is a giant electromagnet.
Cuse confirmed that “Yes, that is in the category of complete coincidence.” Obviously it is in the category of complete coincidence but it still makes me curious to see the original episode.
David Malcolm Kelly has a theory too. He told E! Online, “I am really convinced he has those magic powers. I think he can make anything happen that he wants to. Remember with the polar bear? He brought the polar bear out of the book. I think [his abilities] are totally independent of the Island, but I think it is a place where he can really use his powers. At home he can’t really do anything with his powers, ’cause he’d be just kind of a weird kid—on the Island is where he can be free.”
Dude, that David Malcolm Kelly quote is from last week! It’s not news–fans have already read about it at tons of other sites, particularly Doc’s.
