Gilligan was/is one of those flying space fungus de-braining things...

[vanguardcdk.livejournal.com]

A Mi-Go?

[lurkerwithout.livejournal.com]

Sounds right...

Cree

I suspect you misspelled an alien race's name here, as I'm not sure there's any reason to believe he's Native American.

That said, the Kree don't tend to shapeshift or plant spies on our planet. They pretty much just blow shit up. Or trade places with Rick Jones.

[lurkerwithout.livejournal.com]

Well they did plant spies thus Noh-Var the current Capt. Mar-vell and the half-breed Ultra-Girl...

I can't be the only one who finishes that with "you idiot!"

Sorry. Gilligan's Island on the brain.

I dunno, but I suspect he was Odysseus's navigator, too.

Man, that's a natural crossover. "Hey, Skip! I met this nice lady named Circ on the other side of the island. She wants to cook us a meal!"

Gilligan: Being kept in an undisclosed location.

Hey, since Cheney moved out, SOMEONE'S gotta keep house!

The above statement made the thought of so-bad-it's-good crossover fan-fic pop into my head: Gregory House has to deal with Gilligan's wacky shenanigans.

Now I need brain bleach. It's a totally gen idea, and I still need brain bleach. Or at least for my brain to not throw these horrifying things at me until I'm asleep and they can become proper nightmares.

What was the race of Snarf, from the Thundercats? That's Gilligan.

[yendi]

I actually never watched Thundercats. Mainly because of characters like Snarf. It's one of those cultural and generational touchpoints that eludes me.

White Martian!

(too dated? LOL)

[yendi]

Not dated enough. Grant Morrison has done at least two stupid things for every moment of brilliance in his career. White Martians are high amongst them.

[celtic_maenad]

too true. I never saw the "idiot savant" that I've heard other people describe Gilligan as, just the idiot.

[lurkerwithout.livejournal.com]

Ms. Martian is awesome and I will cut anyone who says otherwise...

"Battlestar Gilligan: The Board Game". Hmm.

Gilligan's Island of Dr. Moreau

Monkey construct.
