Perhaps we shouldn’t be looking for logical consistency in a show that featured coconut radios, grenade-wielding gorillas and ghosts that turn out to be Russian spies in disguise. 

But one unexplained moment in Gilligan’s Island has prompted a number of fans to propose some surprisingly upsetting theories about the classic sitcom. Like even more upsetting than the theory that the castaways represent the seven deadly sins, and Gilligan is really Satan himself.

Don’t Let the Awfulness of ‘Rick and Morty: The Anime’ Overshadow How Adult Swim Nailed the Australian Adaptation
