NOW FEATURING...THREE TO GET READY

[lm]

It always disturbed me a little that the Professor left his icecream (unfinished?). Wow! His priniciples were more important than having some chocolate icecream. He must have really been mad!

Why is Maryann smiling when Gilligan wastes his second wish on vanilla icecream?

My son pointed out that if birds don't build their nests on weak branches, why was there that nest in the tree with the weak branch--which is why the Skipper supposedly fell?

Why is Gilligan agonizing so much about the second wish? He didn't seem to be so stressed about it at first when he thought of a motorcycle as a choice. It seems as if he would easily think of something else he would like. I know that almost everyone tries to influence his decision but he obviously is not listening to them. Even the "something for us all" idea seems unconsidered when he starts ruminating on a tricycle! So, what's the dilemma?

What I really don't get about this episode is what happened at the very end. Why did Gilligan pretend to throw the eye of the idol away and keep it instead for himself. Supposedly, he already had his three wishes. Here was another chance at rescue if someone else found it. Let's say he was too "stupid" to realize this--when he saw everyone scramble for it, he could have realized it. If he embarrassingly goofed here, he wouldn't have looked so happy when he was shown alone. What's up here? Does anyone have an inkling?

A weak branch is a relative term. What is weak to a 230 lbs man may not be to a 3 ounce bird.
