Does anyone else get the impression that this show is borrowing heavily from the game **Myst**? Obviously, there are large chunks that don’t follow, but there’s lots of cryptic innuendo, characters are running all over the place, and clues are discovered at the same rates that new mysteries happen. What if the island is a testing ground for computer games and the unsuspecting crash survivors are merely shaking out the bugs for the game designers?
