Movie Summary  Movie: Fire Maidens Of Outer Space:  This one goes down in history, and then comes right back up. Five astronauts go to the thirteenth moon of Jupiter, which it turns out is inhabited by an old guy from Atlantis and his several dozen hot daughters, all aged seventeen to twenty. They fled there after Atlantis slipped under the sea. There's a lot of dancing, a lot of drinking, a lot of boozy near-sex. The smug and tremendously self-involved astronauts kill a skinny monster, which somehow allows main astronaut Blair to claim a blonde. The men head back to Earth, promising to send more men, since the other daughters also need husbands. Oh, and the old guy gets killed somewhere along the line, but that doesn't seem to bother anybody too much. — Paul Chaplin Host Segments  Prologue:  Joel teaches the 'Bots about posture, in front of a screen where he views their shadows. A mysterious and menacing figure emerges from Crow's shadow.  Invention:  Crow introduces "Timmy" (a dark version of himself) as the friend he prayed for. Frank and Forrester demonstrate the Big Checkbook, for sports ceremonies and other events. Frank can't remember to who he wrote a check for $1.5 million. The SOL offers the Nike Air Chalada, an athletic shoe with cheese in the sole. Crow and Timmy whisper.  Segment 2:  Joel explains the double entendre as used by two oily astronomers in the movie leering at their secretary. His point is that the right tone can make anything sound racy: Timmy suggests some genuinely nasty ones to Crow.  Segment 3:  Timmy gets Crow in trouble, then messes up Joel's demonstration of the Twin Screw Universal Controller. Using the Controller, Timmy's able to drastically change reality on the SOL. "Gee, you're a strange little man," says Joel.  Segment 4:  In the theater, Timmy attacks Servo, leading to a final battle royal on the bridge. Servo is bound to the wall with some kind of goo, and Joel comes to the rescue "Let go of him, you bitch!" He sends Timmy out the hatch, then forgives Crow.  Segment 5:  The plodding movie almost breaks the 'Bots, but a letter cheers them up. Timmy shows up in Deep 13 and bites Frank, who screams à la the end of episode 0405 - Being From Another Planet.  Stinger:  An astronaut tossing, his (drinking) cup on the floor. Reflections The movie? Tch. Typical. The main interest here for our fans was definitely Timmy, Crow's evil twin. People wonder what inspired this show, and the answer is very simple. Timmy showed up one day and wouldn't leave unless we featured him like this. I'd like to report that Timmy was actually a nice guy, but he was not. He was a real hassle to have around. I'm kidding, of course. The real reason we did this episode is that we have a black Crow for taping the movie segments. It shows up better in silhouette. There's absolutely no reason to believe this "other" Crow might develop a personality of his own, late at night in the shop with only a few lights glowing dimly...with no one around to see...Of course there were those times when the motion detectors apparently picked up something moving around, but I can't see any connection. And the security guard who responded, they found him with his hair gone white and his face frozen in a rictus of terror, but that was probably something else. — Paul Chaplin
