Hey everyone!
This week's episode, "The Substitute," got me thinking about something that's both interesting and devilishly hilarious: Ben Linus -- the off-island teacher iteration -- should run for office. I'm so excited to see it happen (and have a plan for how it should unfold) that I wrote about in my new column on GameZone.com called LostZone.
Here's a snippet from this week's piece, Giving Meaning to the Numbers, 4 8 15 16 23 42:

"While it might be fun to watch Ben teach a class or two by twisting and turning the facts of a particular subject (a lecture on the Bermuda Triangle would be hilarious), I have a better idea: have Ben run for office. Imagine him, a seemingly whiny, inconsequential teacher, up at the podium speaking about politics. Everything he says could be pure nonsense and he’d still get enough votes to win.
"What would we he be campaigning for, you ask? Something tells me that a school for “special” children would be at the top of his list. He’d also be likely to push for a new research facility in Portland, or perhaps somewhere a bit more remote."
So what do you all think? Am I right guys? Would a sideways world where Ben becomes a key political figure be interesting or what!? |
