Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S08/E11 Parts the Clonus Horror: Difference between revisions

 

Reportedly the filmmakers weren't too thrilled about getting MSTed until they saw the riffing of the scene where smoke seems to be emanating from Richard's nether regions as he shares a post-coital campfire cuddle with Lena:

'''Tom:''' Only you can prevent groin fires. }}

** References to Dick Sargent's role as ''[[Trope Namer|the]]'' [[The Other Darrin|Other Darrin]]

** One scientist's resemblance to [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]].

* [[Shout-Out]]: The Space Children use the same hand gestures to work their powers as the possessed children in the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' episode "And the Children Shall Lead".

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: To try to put the Space Children down for a bit, Servo composes a beautiful lullaby...set to a bombastic march.

* [[Squick]]: Discussed. Old!Richard's son getting out of the pool and walking his wet, speedoed batch right in front of the waist-high camera didn't do Mike and the Bots any favors.

'''Servo:''' ''Gah, stop it! What've we ever done to you??'' }}

* [[The Talk]]: The Evil Space Children ask The Question, treating us to a montage of the villains' attempts to explain it. Brain Guy's response is a surprisingly poetic exploration of love, before he dismisses the emotion as unnecessary, Pearl begins a rambling, bitter story about her own failed relationships, and Bobo's advice is...questionable, given it deals with apeman mating rituals. "You're gonna get kicked in the face, that's always part of it... grab one leg and hold on tight!"

* [[The Unfavorite]]: Mike and the Bots joke that Clone-Richard sees Original-Richard as his father and is this to him.
