This may be a really dumb question but is the story of the Island based on any book or other movie or was it an original idea from the writers.... just curious cause it looks like it would be an interesting read... also a little strange for a Simpsons episode... and of course that white orb showing up another time ... killing Hans Moleman

Thanks in advance

Hans Moleman wasn't killed, he was just detained by it.

The references to the island are from a 60's TV show called "The Prisoner" where Patrick McGoohan is trapped on an island for "knowing too much". He is frequently druggedespecially when he tries to escape.

If you're interested in seeing more, I believe it's being rerun on PBS stations or you could buy the DVD collection from amazon.com:

The Island is based on the 70's show The Prisoner (as any Iron Maiden fan would know (!!)) 'I am not a number, I am a free man....'
