Of course, any episode in which we see headhunters is anachronistic. Headhunting was abolished when Europeans arrived in the Pacific and "civilized" the natives.

When GI was on, many of the Pacific island were under the control of the U.S. (who grabbed them from Japan after WWII), Australia, New Zealand, and France. I don't think any of them would have permitted headhunting.
