SS Minnow (TV series)

SS Minnow title card "almost certainly" from Season One [99.8% stoch-prob rating].

SS Minnow is a television program about a conspiracy on an uncharted desert island during the Second World War.

Premise

SS Minnow has been called "a reboot of Hogan’s Heroes as a death camp on a desert island in the Caribbean during the War. Like Hogan’s Heroes, except not funny. Hogan’s Heroes considered as a Möbius strip of semi-precious evil."

Episodes

Several versions of two distinct episodes have been recovered as of June 2020.

Quantum steganography of program data received on June 12, 2020 reveals two episodes, both believed to belong to Season One:

• "Semi-Precious Evil"
• "Ratification"

No generally accepted sequence has been established, although there is some speculation [citation needed] that "Ratification" has been proposed as the Season One finale episode, as for example Niles Cartouchian's has spoken about his "warm, fuzzy-stochastic feeling that Ratification wraps up the Lansky-Gottlieb-White conspiracy arc", and that the episode "secretly contaminates [the viewer] with enough high-grade Clandestiphrine to rewrite the history of neuroleptic retrotemporal interrogation."

Controversy

Yeah but if your mashing it up with Hogan’s Heroes a Nazi cell on a Caribbean island makes more sense.

Exactly. One small qualifier – it’s a Nazi-American cell. Like the OSS, but run by a Devil who holds the soul-markers of Meyer Lansky and Sidney Gottlieb and George Hunter White.

In other words: What appears to be a secret death camp on a Caribbean island run by SS officers in tacit collusion with the organized military industrial criminal complex based in the White House is actually a highly realistic cover story for psycho-medical experiments of Lovecraftian dimensions, probably involving the fictional yet illegal transdimensional drug Clandestiphrine.

Origin

The show was pitched by Karl Jones to a select cabal of investors and transdimensional drug enthusiasts on Friday June 12, 2020. The show was approved by both groups in less than twenty-three seconds, with a unprecedented 99.41% stoch-prob rating.

In an unpublished interview, Jones says that the idea came to him "while yammering on the Boing Boing comment board."
