310. Fugitive Alien (1986)

“He tried to kill me with a forklift” is one of those “amazing riff in an otherwise average-at-best episode”

How deliberate do you think it was that Captain Joe’s ship is name after the Roman god of drunken revelry?

And remember, you should never attempt to castle when playing forklift chess.

Poor Patricia Barnes. 1989 just wasn’t her year. She got stuck in Corman’s Lords of the Deep (as seen on Season 12!), and had to play the tragic Della Leiter in Licence to Kill.

This might be my favorite one of that episode type.

Anyway… [wipes tear] I love this episode but it’s the second installment of the saga which ultimately found its way into my Top Ten. It might still be there. I’d have to rework the list as I haven’t since before Netflix, I suppose.

Everything is borderline incoherent, overwrought, and gaudy in both chapters. And that’s just the kind of riff fodder that Mama likes best. :wink:
