Weekend Discussion Thread: Your Favorite Multi-Segment Story Line

Alert regular “sitting duck” notes:

Normally, the host segments are fairly self-contained. However, there are times where a sketch would take two or more host segments. So the question is: what is your favorite multi-segment sketch? Though it’s likely due to it being in the first MST3K episode I ever saw, mine would be the Cheating Saga from “The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman.” But I also have some fondness for the “Mirror Mirror” parody in “Last of the Wild Horses” and Mike’s trial for his planet-killing spree in “Agent for H.A.R.M.”

A timely suggestion, considering that “Last of the Wild Horses” is going to be in the next set from Shout!

Me, I’m going to go with the “Timmy the alien” story line from “Fire Maidens of Outer Space” (which should also be on a future set, Shout people!)

What’s your pick?
