Episode: I watched this episode as I was reading my mail so I didn't really watch this episode. I think I saw maybe 10 minutes of it, but I did hear the whole thing as background noise, and probably absorbed enough of it through osmosis to come up with a review. With the aid of my handy dandy Amazing Colossal Episode Guide to help me remember.

Movie: Oooh! I know this one! It's about hmm Ummm some people apparently crash on a planet and they run around for some reason. Well I'll have to watch it again.

Intro: Joel turns the SOL into a Talk show set.

Invention Exchange: The Mads invent a new chain of fast food restaurants. "Clay and Lar's Flesh barn" where they do not cook their food. Larry Sings their theme song:

If you're tired of the same old fare
You've got a friend in Clay and Lar
All out meat is guaranteed rare
Because we don't cook it

Dr. F: You see, cooking takes out all the flavor

If you're tired of cooking at home
Try our meat right off the bone
If you listen you can hear it moan!
Because we don't cook it

Now there's no need for you do drive through
Our fresh meat will walk out to you
You'll say "Hi!" He'll say "Moo!"
It's Clay and Lar's flesh barn!

Joel invents a toilet paper roll in a bottle. Hmmm.

Host Segments: Tom is doing a sort of "This is your life" with Joel, then Crow comes rushing in yelling about a satelite of doom that's about to collide with the ship. Joel brings the Satelite of doom into the SOL and accidently activates it's self destruct mechanism. And on top of everything they've got commercial sign!

Crow finds the instruction manual of the Doomsday satelite. They find it was translated from Korean and the english is poor:

Joel: "Step 1. It will be very enjoyable for you to seperate the occular filter coupling up from the decapacitor which is stout and yellow sometimes" Crow, you better scan this and give me the instructions.
Crow: Got it. Ok, most very kindly find the lookey switch which is nice and sitting there with green label that leaves you singing.
Joel: I think I got it.
Crow: Ok, carefully disregard and do not do the very wrong thing or much confusion will result with sparks, flowers, and loud report on some models. Blue batman to C-G detail ommited for clarity. Wait there's more, it says clip red wire like you best with firm hand and glad heart...
Joel: Ok, that ought to do it!
Crow: ...but first clip the blue wire

Joel is still trying to disarm the doomsday satelite

Crow: No, it's the green wirte, Joel, Definately the green.
Joel: Look, who's holding the scredriver here anyway?
Tom: I give up, who?
Joel: Oh, that's enough from the peanut gallery, thanks a lot you two!
Crow: Oh, heck, Joel, go ahead and clip the blue wirte, it's just a doomesday machine, if it goes up it's not like we're going to be around to experience oblivion.
Tom: By oblivion do you mean experiential oblivion or phenomenological oblivion?
Crow: Hmmm, intreresting distinction, lets define our terms, shall we?
Tom: Well, Kirkegard would always say...
Joel: Listen you screw heads, you better knock it off or I'll brain you both with my ballpeen hammer, now knock it off!
Crow: Hmm, interesting reaction to a logically defined supposition, I think Camu would have theorized differently...
Joel: Well, listen, Mr. Smart Alec guy, which wire would Camu cut?
Tom: Well, he'd cut the blue one I think, then if we were still around he'd cut the green one.
Joel: Eeny meeny miny moe...

Conclusion: They read letters, contest entries into a name the plant guy contest

Favorite Lines: Two guys are fighting and a Woman looks on...

Tom: Don't just do something! Stand there!

This is the episode the oft-used line "Hi-keeba" comes from.

Favorite Observations: The crew in the movie are gathered around the control table which has a huge yellow-transparent plastic dome in the middle:

Tom: That's the biggest pop-o-matic bubble I've ever seen.

Personal Experience: I had a tough time watching this episode, the scenery and colors make me nauseous.

Bit parts: Is that Mike Nelson's voice I recognize as teh Satelite's warning system?
