"Superb"

By gabfan31, Dec 11, 2006

This is one of the funniest in the series due to Cleo's constant flow of 20th century movie quotes and allusons. The show also has a great story concerning Sarge and the sister she left behind when she left the surface. Sarge feels betrayed by her sister's loyalty to her enemies, a loyalty that was obviously greater than her loyalty to her sister since she didn't leave for the Underground along with Sarge. Cleo proves her ability to think on her feet as she persuades Lily to trust them and her bravery when she leaps onto the platform to try to save Lily from being taken by the Bailey. Comedy, drama, action, even character development- this episode has it all. If I were to reccomend one episode from the first season for a new watcher this would be high on my list.moreless

NOTES (1)
ADD NOTES
- This episode was the pilot of the series. Lucy Lawless performed the part of Voice for the episode, but when she couldn't fit the series into her schedule because of Xena, Elizabeth Hawthorne dubbed over her dialogue and took over the role for the rest of the series.

ALLUSIONS (4)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Battlestar Galactica and The X-Files Cleopatra also uses referrences to the tv shows Battlestar Galactica and The X-Files to confuse poor Lily.
  EDIT SHARE
- 2001: A Space Odyssey Cleopatra says that Lily's mother is a researcher at the "Space Odyssey", a referrence to the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  EDIT SHARE
- Close Encounters of the Third Kind The Baileys do the theme from the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind when they are preparing to beam up Sarge.
  EDIT SHARE
- Star Trek and Star Wars Cleo uses every major sci-fi reference that she can think of, including the classic "Beam us up, Scotty" from the original Star Trek series. Then she gets in Star Wars by calling Sarge a Jedi, and double dips with "Live long and prosper. May the Force be with you."
