#820: Space Mutiny
|
 |
| 
In a time at some point way in the future, there are literally many people living in a large
basement warehouse - I'm sorry, I mean a large spaceship, clearly a spaceship, what with all
the storage area and forklifts and security guards sitting around at massive metal desks, the
kinds of things one expects to find in a spaceship, and not at all in a basement warehouse or
other planet-bound industrial facility - just kind of drifting around the galaxy, apparently
having fled some sort of awkward situation on Earth; maybe they'll settle down on a Class M
planet someday, who knows, what the hey.
This placid bunch is ruled by a bearded Cameron Mitchell and his elderly daughter in hot
pants (the pants being the hot item in this case, and not what they envelop), and all seems well
until the movie starts, when the security forces in this warehouse (spaceship!! Darn!) come to
their senses and plan a mutiny to force Captain Santa to land anywhere.
The bad guys are foiled when the thickly-muscled Rider, a free-lance jock/pilot, bullies his
way to the top in this goofy world, simply because he and no one else has any command or
leadership qualities. There is fighting; there are guys falling over railings; there are some real
skinny dancing girls (the kind you would in fact expect to find dancing in a warehouse
space), and after we get to see Rider and The World's Oldest Daughter rolling on the concrete
floor of this spaceship, the mutiny is put down.

Prologue:
Crow and Servo are outraged that the ship's encyclopedia is so out-of-date; they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.
Segment One:
Mike gets new encyclopedias, with on-line links and all, but the 'Bots are mad
cuz they like complaining. 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.
Segment Two:
Inspired by the film, Crow and Servo take the only two remaining escape
pods on the SOL (of which Mike knew not a thing) and have a fine dogfight out in space
before crashing them into the SOL. Man these guys are idiots sometimes!
Segment Three:
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.
Segment Four:
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.
Segment Five:
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 leaps from his golf cart.
