Wonder how they powered that S40B with all the tubes?


I don't exactly remember, but it was an early episode, so I suppose there
was enough juice left in the Minnow's batteries to run a dynamotor.

I also don't know who sabotaged the plan. Might it have been the
Professor,
who was enjoyed studying the flora and fauna of the island, and certainly
enjoyed the brand new experience of being the most eligible male on a
paradise island with two beautiful women? Mr. and Mrs. Howell, who were
finally able to enjoy their marriage after Mr. Howell's forced
"retirement"
from the grueling 24 hour responsibilities of running Howell Industries?
Ginger, whose Hollywood career was going nowhere fast, and now had to
compete with a younger generation of shapely airheads for B-movie and
C-movie roles? The Skipper might have been faking his sleepwalking in
that
episode in order to avoid the ugly mainland questions about his competence
as a Sea Captain. Even Gilligan might have had a dim glimmer of
perception
that his uncanny ability to screw up at exactly the critical moment was
useful only to his friends on the island.

I say they were all in on it.

The tragedy of Gilligan's Island, one that we rrs can fully appreciate, is
that Mary Ann was too naive to see that she was surrounded by selfish
dead-enders who were abusing her trust and stealing her chance to have a
normal life.

The children laughed while watching Gilligan's Island because the shows
had
a facile sort of comedy. The critics hated it because they're idiots.
But
the discerning conspiratorialist can see the show for a metaphor of life
as
it really is.

Sherwood Schwartz was a genius.

I think I remember some type of human powered generator. It looked like an
exercise bike made of bamboo.
