My Top Ten Ideas for a Lost Spinoff
10. You're a Great Number Two, Benjamin Linus!: Hurley and Ben guard the island, but they do it totes different from that capricious and rule-lovin' Jacob. First, pop-culture obsessed Hurley decides to build Gilligan's Island-style huts. Then Ben suggests they need to match, and everyone should just go with the whole numbers theme. They duke it out over whether to bring in a disgraced former spy to be "Number Six" versus Hurley's Harlem Globetrotters idea. Who will come out on top?
9. Ford and Straume: They're cops. In their spare time, Miles keeps trying to hook people up with his dad's work friend, Charlotte, not realizing that he's harboring an unrequited crush. Meanwhile, Jim meets a certain blond doctor and finds his own commitment issues suddenly vanishing. But why do all their prisoners go missing in transit from the jail to lockup? Could it be that plucky beat cop Ana Lucia is dirty?
8. Dr. Linus: A history teacher. A promising student. Her hot French mom. Sometimes love and family come in the most unexpected places.
7. The Future is Now: Richard Alpert's been off-island a few times over the centuries. Little errands here and there. A new haircut or two. But he is far from fully assimilated. So what's a former immortal to do? Why, start writing historical romances, of course!
6. I'm Innocent: Kate Austen is a fugitive on the run. She says she didn't do it. So who did? A one-armed man? The mysterious Scottish dude who breaks her out of prison?
5. The Odyssey: Desmond's free to leave the island now. His boat is offshore. He's bleeding and has a concussion and no means of communication, but somewhere out there is Penny and their son, Charlie. The story of his harrowing journey home.
4. You're Like Me Now: A prequel series detailing how C.J. Cregg quit her promising career as White House Chief of Staff to guard the light at the center of the island and somehow also travel two thousand years into the past. Latin lessons included.
3. Supernatural season 6: Lucifer reclaims the body of Nick, his vessel in season 5, and learns that Nick was actually a former immortal guardian of a mysterious island. Furious that he never knew about the island, Lucifer tracks down War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and together they team up to find the island and destroy mankind once and for all. Meanwhile, Sam and Dean take a much-needed vacation to Sydney, Australia, only to have their plane crash on a desert island on their way home.
2. Oh, That Charlie!: Charlie Pace accidentally causes a world-wide blackout, during which everyone on the planet experiences two minutes' worth of precognition of an event several months in the future. Charlie changes his name, becomes an FBI consultant, and meets Penny Widmore, who is now in the witness protection program.
1. Highway to Heaven: Jack decides not to follow everybody in the light, instead opting to return to earth to nudge people in the "right direction." He also grows a mullet.
