  • A ship of "teenagers" land in Anytown, USA with their ray guns that turn everything to skeletons in search of grazing land for their herds of lobsters.

    Not the best episode, but still a worthy one.

    Some of the best points: "What about torture?!" Watch the episode and you'll know what that means.

    The teenagers are not teenagers. Not really even close. Bizarre. The "monsters" are lobsters. Literally. These "Gargons" are supposed to grow into massive portions, but apparently this was not supported by the movie's budget because they never show them as anything other than a lot of people screaming at shadows.

    The king of the world the "teenagers" comes from looks like a puppet.

    And, the best part, the 'focusing disintegrating ray' (or the things that look like hair dryers) can magically turn any living thing into a skeleton. No explanation is ever given as to how the gun can eat through skin, muscle, clothing, and everything else, but not bone. The dialogue in this episode is so stilted that all the actors, especially the spacemen, look about as comfortable as they would be with poles up a certain part of their bodies. In their 'advanced' culture they haven't apparently invented contractions yet. And as to Joel and the 'bots, they have a ball, as usual, with the Gargons and the dialogue, as well as the old geezer who runs the boarding house, Uncle Joe. The man that's just dying to rent his rooms out!

    If you can only ever see one episode of MST, then it should be "Space Mutiny." But if you get to see, oh, say twenty or so, "Teenagers from Outer Space" could be one of them.moreless
