no signal on desert islands though In one episode the Professor builds a homebrew Linux box out of coconuts and palm fronds and uses it to host the island's only website you can connect to it using the smartphones he built out of banana peels and tall grass |

Everyone develops mental issues due to lack of technology/Internet, followed by rape/suicide. Before this the professor is exposed as a fraud, being an idiot who simply used Google to appear smart. |

First half of the first episode is everyone loving around on their phones, then their phones die and the professor builds a solar cell to charge them but it can only charge one at a time so there are arguments over who gets to use the charger first and the charger gets broken. The recurring theme is getting their phones working so they can call for help or play Candy Crush or whatever every episode, and it never works, and no one bothers to try and make a raft or whatever even though there's another island visible on the horizon. Gilligan gets hungry and uses his phone to smash open a coconut but smashes his phone instead and starts freaking out but eventually wakes up and realizes it was all a bad dream and he still hasn't eaten in two weeks, then he plays fruit ninja while his kidneys fail. |

I never actually watched Gilligan's Island, the three plot elements I've absorbed through osmosis are a) the skipper acts paternal toward gilligan b) there is some kind of love triangle between Gilligan, Mary Ann, and the Movie Star, because they are the only three young people present. Not sure of this one, that might just be Internet culture reading into things??? c) whenever a plot element calls for some modern convenience they wouldn't have on the island they're just like "whatever, the loving professor builds it out of whatever is lying around. loving coconuts and poo poo. he builds one offscreen in like twenty minutes and it's not even a big deal for him." |

Come to think of it, how was it that the professor could build himself a working refrigerator and stuff but he couldn't build a raft loving Tom Hanks in Cast Away could build a raft |

Ein cooler Typ posted:they could just call for help on their smart phones I say nay. Mary-Anne would be a fairly conservative farm girl who was also pretty aggressive and take charge who ends up on the boat because she thinks she can get drunk out on the open sea and that sounds fun. Cannot stop thinking about Gilligan. Ginger would be a world-famous blogger/game designer with the handle "61n61r" who was on the boat tour as research for a game she's working on. The Professor is a disgraced engineering instructor who was fired from his school for an inappropriate relationship with a female TA. Incredibly cold to the girls, but occasionally finds himself unwittingly drawn into Gilligan's plots. The Howells had planned to fake their deaths to escape an impending FTC trial and hide away overseas with a vast fortune in hidden assets. Now believed dead by the world, they await their rescue so they can once again vanish. Skipper bought the Minnow and became its Captain as part of a mid-life crisis and to get out of the shadow of his successful Naval family members who have served the US Armed Forces for the last 100 years. In reality, he knows nothing of being a sailor except how to turn the key and steer the boat. Gilligan is a madman who deliberately antagonizes the rest of the castaways under the guise of a helpful idiot. He will occasionally be found worshiping a some sort of monolith hidden in the jungle, occasionally bringing it an unknown 'offering' which will have vanished by the next time he returns. He'll also shun strange shells painted with unknown icons that wash up in the lagoon, and try to persuade the others to desecrate them in a ritualistic way while avoiding contact with them. |

There are 121 episodes at an hour each, i feel like if people didn't watch it then they will never watch it now. For me it was appointment television and had the best finale of any show i've watched but it definitely seems to be a love or hate kind of show

hth posted:thurston would be a post-90s dotcom millionaire Question is whether he's from one of those white flight exurbs or a gated community that got swallowed by the inner city but somehow kept its walls up. The second one is more evocative of the "old money" Howell, but the first one lets his wife be the head of the local HOA which is way funnier and has more potential plot hooks. |

Following a fierce tropical storm a shipping crate is found washed up on the shore and suspected to contain food or other necessary supplies. After nearly a full episode is spent trying to get it open before a second storm pushes it back out into the water it is discovered to contain hundreds of novelty hats and dated pop/geek culture t-shirts. Everyone hates the professor's new wardrobe. |

The final episode involves them finding a time machine that will let them go back in time and undo the events that got them trapped on the island. They discover at the same time that Ginger and Mary-Anne are both pregnant. Gilligan returns to the island, not sure why it didn't work, and two strangers arrive to explain it: Everything he did to try to discretely change the timeline only resulted in creating the events that trapped them there in the first place. In another 25 years, the time machine will be recharged enough for them to use it and finally escape the island. The two strangers then vanish. They return to the future, where the fresh, older corpses of the other castaways lay dead at a going away banquet, poisoned. "Don't feel bad about what we had to do. They knew where they went wrong last time and we couldn't let them change history, to uncreate us..." "I love you Gillian..." "I love you too, Skippy..." |
