More parasite fun
I do wish a little more time had been spent with Jena and her motives—maybe the writers intended to bring her back at some point and never got around to it.
I LOVE this story. The Rani is a fantastic villain who definitely should’ve shown up in the rebooted series (there were rumors for a while that Gillian Anderson was going to play her, which would have been amazing).
All the Matt Helm movies are great and very much of their time. I don’t think you could make a movie, let alone a series of movies, like these again. They were funny without talking down to their audience or resorting to gross out or slapstick humor to get a laugh. Plus, you had films with Ann Margret, Sharon Tate,…
I love this three parter. It does such a great job of really opening up the world and setting up things that will pay off later in the season.
I sometimes wonder if it’s possible to make a movie like this today, a period piece having the same camp glamour to them, but with modern sensibilities for contemporary audiences so they won’t be laughed at.
This was one of the best body-swapping episodes ever. I loved the way they figured out what was going on quickly and created the badges right away. They moved right past the initial phase where the audience knows more than the characters.
These articles really make me wish Netflix would start showing Farscape again. I need my fix of weird-ass muppety space shenanigans.
Muttasians might be how Rushdie remembers it, when he wasn’t writing ads about cream cakes. naughty but nice. I don’t recall The Mutants being received as particularly controversial at the time.
I’d list Bradly Walsh as one of the few highlights of the last season. Although it helps that Graham is the only character the writers cared about.
