"Great"

By gabfan31, Dec 08, 2006

This was a good example of the show, with plenty of action, T&A, and weird characters. It only needed a little longer to develope, but with only a half an hour (and almost a third of that went to commercials) there is only so much the writers could do. T&A was a bigger part of the show than usual with Cleo's striptease and Hel's loss of inhibitions through being drugged, but there was still plenty of action. The bad guys were more <i>outre</i> than dangerous, but since they were only there as foils for Hel and Sarge they were adequate. The only thing I found strange was the reappearance of the kidnapped girl's father, but I guess he was put there to give Cleo a vital piece of information and the writers couldn't find a more probable way for Cleo to learn it.moreless

ADD QUOTES
- Hel: (still affected by the aphrodisiac "Juice") You know what? Let's find us some real men! Cleopatra: All right! Sarge: Mad cold! Cleopatra: Mad cool. Sarge: Yeah, whatever.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cleopatra:(to stripper in slaver bar) Sweetheart, you're doing it all wrong. It's called a strip...tease. Emphasis on the tease. And what do you think this pole is doing here, holding up the bar? Clear me, give me some room. That's right. Showtime, boys!
  EDIT SHARE
- Cleopatra: Being a hero isn't just saying we're sorry. Hel: Who said we're heroes?
  EDIT SHARE
- Hel(in referrence to Cleo's "Ask not" speech): Do you think of this stuff beforehand or do you just make it up as you go? Cleopatra: It all comes from the heart.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hel: Do you know these guys? Sarge: They're shooting at us. That's all I need to know.
  EDIT SHARE
- Sarge: So, what are you doing after the game? Slave: Depends who owns me.
  EDIT SHARE
- Sarge: We can still take them. They had to check their weapons at the door, too. (the mutants all pull out weapons) The Bouncer: They bribed me.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cleopatra: Houston, we have a problem. Sarge: Who's Houston?

NOTES (1)
ADD NOTES
- One of the bar mutants is wearing a spikey set of armor made for the Xena episode "The Dirty Half Dozen".
  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Cleopatra: Houston, we have a problem. Cleopatra is making reference to a quote made famous by members of the Apollo 13 space mission.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cleo's "Happy Birthday, Mr Mutant" is another JFK allusion, though she is paraphrasing Marilyn Monroe, who had sung a very sexy happy birthday song for the President.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cleopatra: Ask not what others can do for you, but what you can do for others. When Cleo gives Hel and Sarge her "Ask not" speech she is quoting President John F. Kennedy's inauguration speech.
