Trapped in a future where apes dominate the world, a boy, a girl and a young woman try to find a way back to their own time with the help of a human rebel.

The Episode[]

Host Segments[]

Prologue: The Mads can't reach Joel...all their transmissions are intercepted by Servo and Crow. So where's Joel?

Segment One: Crow, Gypsy, and Servo search for Joel but only find his uniform. Does that mean he's floating naked out in space? Sadly, yes. Servo: "Quick! Get the telescope!"

Segment Two: Realizing that Joel is locked out of the ship, Crow and Servo debate whether they should let him back in. They discuss several new privileges they'd like to receive as a reward for doing so, but movie sign intervenes before they actually bother to open the pod bay doors.

Segment Three: Cambot fools Crow into thinking that Joel is back on the ship, but it's just a joke. Things then get pretty surreal as Servo demonstrates various ways that fantasy can be made to look real.

Segment Four: Joel floats naked outside the Satellite of Love as Crow and Servo discuss their new Joel-less life together.[1]

Obscure References[]

  • "Johnny, he's got your gun."
This probably references Dalton Trumbo's horrific 1939 novel, Johnny Got His Gun. It tells of a soldier who has had his arms, legs, and face blown away and how he spends his days, trapped in a hospital bed, remembering his past. There is also an old song from 1880s titled "Johnny Get Your Gun".
  • "Tickets? We don't need no stinkin' tickets."
This is a reference to 1948 film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The commonly used phrase, "We don't need no stinkin' badges!", is a misquote. The actual dialogue is "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges."
  • "Hey, hey, we're the Monkees!"
The Monkees were a pop/rock group formed for the production of their eponymous TV show.
