820: Space Mutiny Movie: In a crazy future, people live on a space station where a mutiny is about to break out against a captain that looks suspiciously like Santa Claus. Now, Captain Santa has a daughter running around the ship and I guess is a hero in a way. Opening: Crow and Servo are outraged that the ship's encyclopedia is so out-of-date; they engage in a bit of bot-ish hyperbole to make their point. They point out that the books have the lightbulb as a futuristic "theory," and there's even a picture of Stonehedge...Under construction!!! Host Segment 1: Mike gets new encyclopedias, with on-line links and all, but the 'bots are mad because they liked complaining about the old ones. In Rome, Pearl and friends are locked in a dungeon. Brain Guy's brain has been taken from him, so he is somewhat addled, as shown by his lame attempts to bring Mike down to help, like sending Mike down (feathers) or even bring Mike Down, a real estate agent down there. Host Segment 2: Inspired by the film, Crow and Servo take the only two remaining escape pods on the SOL (of which Mike knew not a thing about) and have a fine dogfight out in space before crashing them into the SOL. Host Segment 3: Be-wigged be-robed Crow declares himself a "Bellarian" (the name for the skinny dancing women), but then is not so sure. In Rome, Bobo regurgitates several items, including a key to his chains; but in his excitement he forgets to do anything but get a banana to eat, then locks himself back up. Host Segment 4: Servo installs safety railings all over the SOL. They're not that safe. They make people fall over a lot, in fact. It's just another example of Servo taking something to a ridiculous extreme, Crow even complains that there's a rail over his seat in the theater. End: Crow, having lifted, shows off his wee muscle to Mike, who manages to insult it; Servo is all bulked up and thick-voiced, and asks Mike for a spot. On the planet, Observer regains his brain and sets them all free, while using Mike as a distraction: the spluttering boob is rejected by Flavia just long enough to do a tiny bit of good. Bobo burns down Rome. Stinger: Rider (aka Flank McBrickgroin) screams and then calmly leaps from his golf cart. Special Notes: None |
