>Hoody hoo! Can it be that UA has become a perceptual virus robust enough to infect any fictional structure? Let's give it a try! What's the UA version of the X-Files? How about the Love Boat?
Well, obviously, Mulder had an obsession of "seek the truth" or some such (more likely, "The Truth is out there") and an obsession skill of "Make totally absurd theory based on no evidence, but have it turn out to be true" (soul or mind based) Scully's just an FBI agent obsessed with "Doing good" or some such (either obsessed in notice or medicine, I dunno)
More bizarre is the UA version of Gilligan's island, which might have been mentioned before (I forget). Gilligan's the Fool, Mr. Howell's a Merchant, Ginger's a pornomancer, the Professor's either the Scholar or the Promethean suggested before on the list. I'm not certain about the rest, though.
