Existential Fantasy Island Question
Flubber6922 October 2021
Is it really Big Foot and he had a fantasy to meet a human in the flesh? Or did a human have a fantasy to be Big Foot? Or some other unexplained phenomena?

cool rock formation

Warning: Spoilers
I've been stuck in a fantasy island rut of love episodes. this one wasn't great but took me out of it, cause both episodes had the people traveling away from the island (and tattoo).

Episode started off with them saying "you wont see too many men like him" at a peter graves exiting a plane. I said "you kidding me, i ve seen him like 2 times at least on this show, not to mention that Airplane movie" . So he has the most unblurry footage of Big foot ever and makes little to no money (50 bucks a speech) about big foot and is there to help make someone else's fantasy. That being a lady who wants to do this glider thing. a glider will make Bigfoot more curious than scared of say a regular plane. but shoot at him and that should throw that theory out the window. but it doesn't. Also while gliding, they have tons of land to cover but can glide to were an insterment tells them he may be, cause that's how technology worked in 1978.

Cool part about this segment is they go to that famous star trek rock formation you always see on TV. I really want to go there. i mostly remember it for where Bill and Ted fall off of and die in the second Bill and Ted movie.

The other story is way more complicated in a stupid way. Some Justin Beiber haired guy from the navy wants to find an island full of women. I watched a movie in college like this, i skipped a class , was like the island of lost woman , bikini island or something like that. lots of nudity, lots of cat fights. one scene had a woman on top another and the one on the bottom squeezed her breasts until she somehow passed out from it. it was really hot. anyhow this horn dog navy guy who seems more perverted than tattoo parachutes in, sees it was the island some other guy went to, who turned out to be a idiot surprise, and then i was expecting the women to eat him, but their is a man island too, and somehow they capture each other and sacrifice them via fire, after harvesting them for child birth i think ( if you think about it , guys loose their nuts, woman i have nt figured out yet, but it seems brutal). so this guy realizes he is going to be sacrificed, and wastes his time before that eating grapes with tons of women ready to pounce his thing and then is too sad. But he convinces people to love each other against the evil queens will but its like too quick. like going up to someone and going, "all you believe is wrong, listen to me and do what i say" and they like "okay" the queen had a nice velvet chair with those impressed buttons. it was out in the wild, it rains everyday around 4 pm in Hawaii .

Better episode than the last one i was complaining about. episode 9)

Bigfoot and big bird

This episode had one very poor segment starring an extremely wooden Robert Morse, and he's very bad here, as a sailor looking to score with a bunch of women. That's original! Not. Cyd Charisse was the only notable face, save for what looks like the first acting gig for Michelle Pfeiffer. The story had an interesting premise, as Barney(Morse)thinks he's hot stuff, but realizes that he's about to be sacrificed. After that, the story just falls apart after a lame speech from Barney(Morse looks like a Barney too), as he just walks away from his impending death, and then leaves with a woman who would probably never give him the time of day normally. The better segment stars Peter Graves and Barbara Rush, as they both go on a journey looking for the elusive creature, while flying this ugly yellow glider. The best moment in the entire episode has them hearing a growl behind a bush during the evening hours. The creature's costume wasn't all that bad, and the segment also ended on a good note. It does seem to me, however, that both stories were rushed, and that took away what could've been a better episode.
