Summary: Two Sumerian gods named Anshar and Kishar are having there once every thousand year battle.  It suddenly occurs to them that their fighting is pointless because they are both immortal.  So they decide to take a mortal for a champion.  At this time the Ghostbusters are sailing on Ray’s new wooden sailboat and are shipwrecked on the gods’ newly created island. Peter and Ray are fighting so much that Anshar and Kishar feel they have found their host bodies.
Glad to have this book on hand.

                 Egon, Winston, and Slimer watch in horror as their friends transform whenever they get angry.  They try their best to calm the two down to prevent their transformations.  When that fails, they come up with their best weapon that they can create on Gilligan’s Island and try to blast them apart.  That doesn’t work but it’s distracts the gods long enough that the day ends.   Each deity is no forced leave their host.  As they go back into hibernation each swears that after the next thousand years he is actually going to win.
What a Ghostbuster can make on Gilligan's Island.

My Take: Hmm..Two gods sworn to destroy each other, stop me if you heard this one before.

                Now for my stray observations:

  •        Ray likes to go sailing 19th century style.
  •        Needs to buy a better sail.
  •        I started to hum the Gilligan’s Island tune on this episode.
  •       If one champion had won, would the other really recognize it? 
  •       At least in ended well for the guys.


It was a so-so episode.
