If I was going to be trapped on a deserted island with anyone it would definitely be Nathan Fillion because being stuck with Gilligan would be pure hell…

… Literally.

“Years after the show ended, its creator, Sherwood Schwartz, admitted that each of the characters represented one of the seven deadly sins — Pride (the Professor), Anger (Skipper), Lust, (Ginger), and the rest. Gilligan was supposed to be Sloth.

But a closer viewing indicates that the island may well have been Hell — and the red-clad Gilligan the devil who kept them on his island.”

I got my theological entertainment from MacGyver and The A Team.

    What was Mary Ann — Envy? Gluttony doesn’t seem right.

    Anyway, you take Nathan Fillion. I’ll take Cote de Pablo.

    Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds or Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer?

  • Peony Moss

    I always had thought of Mary Ann as Envy, Gilligan as Gluttony, Skipper as Wrath, and Mrs Howell as Sloth. (Giner – Lust; Professor – Pride, Mr Howell – Avarice.)

      That would be Ginger = Lust, of course.

    It is truly important to pity the fool.
