Aie, MITCHELL! I particularly loved the despairing wail of “BABY OIL? NOOOO!” by them during that oh-so-awful love scene. ---

**Kwyjibo** , it should also be noted that any thread that has “MST3K” in its subject line will receive a ton of responses from MST3K fans quoting quips from the show 😛 My personal favorite episode was **Hercules and the Captive Women** : “The lepers are revolting!” “Boy, I’ll say.” ---

You know, after reading that long post above, I suddenly remembered that I have seen the Space Mutiny episode and it was hysterical. Wish I could see this show more often. I think my fave was Santa Claus vs. Mars. ---

My fave MST3K line of all time: From _Marooned_ Gregory Peck looks at a NASA console, runs his hands thru his hair, looks around furtively And Crow says, “Scout? Scout?” * * * Another good one, from one of the Gamara’s An atomic bomb explodes, cut to stock footage of atomic bomb tests Crow says, “Pretty!” ---

My favorite a-bomb blast scene was at the end of Ed Wood’s immortal classic, _Bride of the Monster_. Bela Lugosi is “eaten” by a giant octopus, and then, suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, they cut to a scene of an atomic bomb mushroom cloud. (?!?) To which Tom Servo quips: “Wow, that was one unstable octopus!” ---

It was a VHS tape. a MST3K VHS tape!!! A coworker heard me asking about “MST3King” and brought his copy of “Mitchell” in. 🙂 When I return tomorrow, I will no longer be a virgin!!! 😃 ---

I know Mike was a writer during the Joel years, so he probably wrote some of Joel’s stuff, but I thought the show changed for the worse when Joel left. He was the best at oddly paced, poorly timed, unusally pithy sarcasm. His oddness actually made the situation he was in funnier. And, his character built the weirdly robots in the first place. “Crow, don’t you ever bring a dark spectre on board again, do you understand me?” “Here, chicky chicky, chicky, chicky…” “HUH?!?” ---

From _Rocketship X-M_: **Tom Servo** : At this point the rocket becomes engorged with spacemen… From _Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy_: **Narrator** : How far can the mind of man penetrate the mysteries of the great beyond? **Crow** : Sixteen feet, eight inches: 1936 Olympics. And, who can forget… _Rock climbing Joel! Rock climbing!_ ---

I have yet to see the infamous ‘rock climbing!’ episode. My fiance has it, and he’s not sure whether or not I’m ready for it yet… After watching the oh-god-this-lasts-forever ‘aircraft fueling’ scene in another MSTed movie, I’m sure I can take it. Bring it on! ---

[820 - Space Mutiny](http://www.dapcentral.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=MasterList2&file=index&show=1&ep=0820&func=detail) is perhaps my very favorite episode. I believe you were referring to [321 - Santa Claus Conquers The Martians](http://www.dapcentral.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=MasterList2&file=index&show=1&ep=0321&func=detail) as your personal favorite episode. ---

In **tracer’s** defense, he did say the names of the robots who actually watch the movie with Mike/Joel. If you re-read his note you’ll see he was talking about the robots that watch the movie and help him heckle. He didn’t say they were the ONLY robots on the satellite of love. Gypsy and Cambot don’t go into the theatre, only Tom Servo and Crow. Still deserves some really nasty punishment for calling them puppets though. Enjoy, Steven ---
