Mike and the 'Bots have an "Andy Rooney-off", pitting their respective Andy Rooney
imitations against each other. In the end, no one wins - in fact, we all pay dearly.
Segment One:
Down in Castle Forrester, Pearl, Observer, and Bobo unpack the Doomsday Machine
they ordered from Spiegel. Turns out it requires some assembly. The radioactive core of the
device accidentally gets sent to the SOL, where Servo and Crow want to keep it as a pet.
Segment Two:
Servo tries to take the advice of the doomed astronaut in the movie, and fix his
attention on "the good and the beautiful". He does this by staring at various combinations
of delicious food items and photographs of sexy starlets, thereby missing the point entirely,
as Servo is wont to do.
Segment Three:
On the SOL, Mike takes a space walk and Crow forgets to reel him back in.
Down in Castle Forrester, Pearl and Observer continue struggling to put the Doomdsay Device
together. They hear ghastly, ghostly noises echoing through the halls and get all scared.
And -- what do you know! - it turns out to be Bobo yawning and accidentally dragging a chain
around.
Segment Four:
Inspired by the look of the plaent's control panels in the movie, Crow and
Servo set up an array of water glasses and practice playing. Mike innocently shows them up
with his virtuoso playing, temporarily upsetting the 'Bots, what with their fragile self-esteem.
Segment Five:
Crow dresses as a Solarite from the movie, sending him into a spiral of
existential doubt about what he really is all about.
On earth, Pearl has despaired of ever finishing the device, and her confidence as an evil
world conqueror is shaken. But she's cheered by a mob of villagers apparently storming the
castle - that must mean she's a threat. Her heart sinks when she learns that the peasants
are there merely to welcome them to the neighborhood.
