At its core, the Gilligan's Island model relies on the lagoon as its main source of conflict -- something floats in, the castaways have to deal with it. The lagoon remains constant, the things in it change. Most ship-based Star Treks are anti-Gilligans Island shows in so far as they are what's floating into someone else's lagoon. They remain constant, the lagoon changes.

If anything, I would say DS9 is the better Gilligan's Island analogue, with the wormhole acting as the lagoon.

In this sheriff's office, like several other law enforcement agencies, ranks jump from junior officers (lieutenant, captain) straight to flag rank (1 star for chief deputy, 2 stars for assistant sheriff, 3 stars for under sheriff, 4 stars for sheriff). Just seems like someone really wanted to dress up in a general's uniform.

Something really strange about American police forces is their use of military rank insignia. Here we have an elected official overseeing a civilian law enforcement agency of ~4000 personnel wearing the rank insignia of a 4-Star general.

Scale modeling -- you can pick up a cheap kit at a big box craft store with some paint and glue for $40. Before you know it, you're importing specialty kits from Japan, rigging up a spray booth in your basement for your airbrush, and taking trips to air museums to get reference photos of the zinc chromate primer for a cockpit interior.

This also may be my lack of understanding, but I was referring to the Multi Spectral Scanner (MSS) on Landsat 1 which used band scanning and stored/transmitted digital images. https://gisrsstudy.com/multispectral-scanner-sensor/

It's worth noting this is the first commercially available digital camera. The digital camera aboard Landsat 1 (launched 1972) was developed in 1969, predating this by 6 years.

Just a heads up, General Contractor is a term for someone who oversees contract construction projects, e.g., remodeling your kitchen. They're licensed and insured (usually) professionals.

Is it stolen honor to pretend to be a marine by eating crayons?
