I hadn&#8217;t seen this episode in a while, and my memory of it was that the movie just kind of laid there and didn&#8217;t give them a lot to work with. I liked the movie segments more on this viewing, but still I think the segments are the real standout element. Kevin and Mary Jo are both terrific.<br \/>\n\u2022 This episode is included in Shout\u2019s \u201cMystery Science Theater 3000: Vol. XXXIII.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mst3kinfo.com\/aceg\/8\/815\/ep815.html\">Bill&#8217;s take is here<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u2022 As Bill notes, that&#8217;s Bill as judge, except when Paul fills in at one point.<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annotatedmst.com\/episodes\/98\/Agent_for_H.A.R.M.\">References<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u2022 This was the episode in which Patrick took over as Gypsy\u2014and with his arrival every single actor who had been an on-camera regular when the show began had been replaced with other performers. Has that ever happened on any other show?<br \/>\n\u2022 I believe the opening segment features the first mention of Mike&#8217;s love of rice.<br \/>\n\u2022 As somebody noted in the comments, Mike is really not responsible for the first two planets being destroyed. The monkeys destroyed the first one and the nanites destroyed the second one. Camping Planet is on him, however.<br \/>\n\u2022 The one henchman looks vaguely like Prince, and that&#8217;s enough for an avalanche of Prince references. Mike tries to put an end to it, but then HE does one a little while later!<br \/>\n\u2022 The preppy looking henchman also prompts a lot of funny preppy voiced riffs.<br \/>\n\u2022 Mike wears his prisoner hat during all the movie riffing segments. No way to know for sure if he&#8217;s wearing the full costume.<br \/>\n\u2022 The last time we saw Brad &#8220;Little Amish Boy&#8221; Keeley on camera was in episode 507- I ACCUSE MY PARENTS when he played Rodney the exotic cake dancer.<br \/>\n\u2022 Oh, and: my copy has a commercial for Sci-Fi Channel&#8217;s &#8220;extra-sensory summer&#8221; that includes a mention of the &#8220;Making of MST3K&#8221; documentary.<br \/>\n\u2022 My copy also has a commercial for a repeat of episode 803- THE MOLE PEOPLE.<br \/>\n\u2022 Daleism: As Dr. Stefanik dies, he holds his hand up: Crow: He thought he was Dale! Note: This may be the final Daleism. It&#8217;s the last one I have a notation for.<br \/>\n\u2022 Cast and crew roundup: Producer Joseph F.
