He was a pretty handy guy with the exception of boat repair.
Yes, thank you, didn’t know jack about boats.
If he was a psychologist, perhaps he didn’t fix the boat to see how people would interact while being on a desert island.
And with all his gadgets, he gave them false hope of escape. And then he could see the effect of losing the chance to escape again.
that was always my question. If he was such a brilliant scientist, why the heck couldn’t he fix the damn boat? I always suspected that he had a thing going on with Mary Anne and knew she would dump him the minute they left the island. Hey, hollywood sucks anyway, so I can make up my own subplots.
Yea, he could build a radio out of coconuts but he couldn’t figure out how to patch a hole in a boat?
Yes, but maybe it was intentional. Even as a kid I always thought that he and Mary Ann had something going on.
