Did you ever notice....

There are a lot of things similar between ridiculously bad cult sitcom Gillian's Island, and current "if you didn't watch the first episode you're boned beyond belief" smash cult hit Lost?

Its true, I was thinking about this today, because well, I really have nothing else to do today, and incase you aren't aware just yet, when i have nothing much to do, i tend to think of the most random stuff, some of which actually makes sense, now, let me break it down for you, because i'm pretty sure the idea of linking an insanely stupid yet ever so funny sitcom what happened to Maynard G. Crebs after the end of The Many Loves of Doeby Gillis being like an ultra high end super sci fi mystery series might be abit to far out of reach for some...

First off, The Island, referred to in both programs as simply "The Island", in both shows its apparently located somewhere in the pacific ocean between Hawaii and japan. Both are apparently in some obscure and apparently unmapped section of that part of the ocean, which seemed completely impossible by 1960s tech, and completely impossible by today's standard of tech. In both programs The Island seemingly provides different things both good and bad for them to deal with..

On Gilligan's Island it was things like a boat or a submarine or two japanese people who were still under the idea that world war 2 didn't end yet, or space ships or some useless other useless shit.

On Lost it gives you mysterious numbers and guns and randomly takes away or adds people as each episode sees fit.

On Gilligan's Island aparently no one can find The Island, dispite the fact that its the only island around with a boat that is the size of the S.S Minnow, which was always shown sitting on one of the islands wide and open shores with a never explained hole in its side, how anyone could ever miss a character boat of that size washed a shore in the south pacific which is a major shipping lane and flight line, i've no idea honestly.

On Lost, I have no idea how a large scale airliner going down in a fireball of the size that it did, could not only leave so little visable wreckage that no one would notice it crashed on an island, ofcourse I also have misgivings about how the plane apparently had no black box distress emitter, and that the crash killed all the not pretty people except the token fat guy.

On Gilligan's Island they have frequint visiters for an island thats apparently uncharted, there tend to be head hunters from another island near by, various boaters, be they famous directors, or military people, or an astronaught who finds a bottle with a genie in it on its shore, or whatever the hell it is that week, where they leave before saving the castaways, and ofcourse, they for whatever reason never even mention what happened to them on the island and never even think of tipping off anyone about where they are.

On Lost, apparently people travel to and from the island all the time, most of which are out for some form of evil intent, how anyone didn't think of stealing one of these boats of theirs I have no idea, ofcourse that island is implied to be hidden some how, so i don't know if the rules of reality even apply to that.

When you take all of these facts into account, there is really only one logical idea which both shows lead you too.. they both take place on the mythical island of Mu. Its said to appear and disappear randomly through out history, people who land on them and stay are said to have a sort of timewarp effect much like the Castaways on Gilligan's Island, who though they had a radio, where apparently unaware of the passage of time and the news in the world when they were eventually resquied and brought back to civilization, how they seemed time displaced or how the radio that kept them in some kind of contact with the outside world was able to get such good reception when radios didn't have that powerful of reciver areas back then is unknown, possibly an effect of Mu's believed magical properties? The top secretness of Lost would hit that they might be looking to harvest the power and magical nature of the island...

ofcourse in all honesty I could just be rambling and none of this really make any real sense at all, so who knows....
