Mystery Science Theater 3000/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** Look at most of the questions above you...it might not bug you, but it will obviously bug ''someone''.

*** I'm not sure if it's bugged anyone,actually. The above questions are probably just riffing on the theme song itself.

* If Gypsy runs the higher functions and steering and whatnot on the SOL, what ran them before Joel made her? Was she made out of the parts that ran them, with Joel adding a personality? Was Joel supposed to take care of it all himself (which would admittedly be a bit easier if he was able to pause the movies)? Were the higher functions not supposed to be done at all, presumably killing Joel within a few days of his arrival on the SOL?

** The very early proto-episodes indeed show Joel taking a more active role in managing the ship's day-to-day functions. There's even a sketch where he offhandedly states that he's [[Hidden Depths|trying to finish some complex calculations needed to make micro-adjustments to their orbit in order to avoid coming in contact with debris from a minor meteor shower due to pass by them]]. Presumably, Forrester and Earhart either didn't think of these things, or are just that insane/cruel.
