Servo&#8217;s head comes off for the first time (that we know of) in this episode. This episode also marks the first time the show used a movie that was actually two TV show episodes loosely spliced together. The concept would later reappear &#8220;Master Ninja&#8221; &#8220;Mighty Jack&#8221; &#8220;Riding With Death&#8221; and more.<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annotatedmst.com\/episodes\/cosmicprincess\/index.htm\">References<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u2022 Segment 1 was re-done in episode 105- THE CORPSE VANISHES; some of the football game during the end segment was featured in the MST3K Scrapbook Tape.<br \/>\n\u2022 Servo&#8217;s head extends again during the riffing.<br \/>\n\u2022 Joel says something silly and Crow turns to him and calmly asks: &#8220;What color is the sky in your world, Joel?&#8221; That one would come back later.<br \/>\n\u2022 During the transition period between episodes, Joel keeps saying &#8220;series&#8221; when he means &#8220;episode.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2022 Servo just gets up and leaves at one point.<br \/>\n\u2022 The riff &#8220;there go the music lessons&#8221; is an early version of &#8220;There go the piano lessons&#8221; from the movie.<br \/>\n\u2022 About Servo&#8217;s head falling off: I think the first time it happens, after Crow has talked Tom Servo into base jumping off the desk, was on purpose. But when it falls off again later, I think that was an accident. They just kept going.<br \/>\n\u2022 Servo&#8217;s head is still off when they return to the theater. Joel reconnects it.<br \/>\n\u2022 Servo is still steamin&#8217; mad at Crow after segment 2. They two almost come to blows!<br \/>\n\u2022 Movie stuff: So, I didn&#8217;t watch this show as a kid (I knew OF it, I just never watched it.) Was this sort of an attempt at a British &#8220;Star Trek&#8221;? (Some commenters agreed that it was, even though it was a decade later.) Landau seems to be trying to do Shatner in a couple of places.<br \/>\n\u2022 The episodes that were combined to make this &#8220;movie&#8221; were &#8220;The Metamorph&#8221; and &#8220;Space Warp.&#8221; The former was the debut episode of the show&#8217;s second season. The latter came 13 episodes later. Yet when the second half of the &#8220;movie&#8221; begins, alien Maya is again in sick bay, giving the impressions that she in sick bay for 14 episodes. Not true, the commenters said. She just ended up in Sick Bay a lot.<br \/>\n\u2022 Can I just note that this movie is mostly really really boring, although it is occasionally punctuated by some actual action? (It nearly put me to sleep.)<br \/>\n\u2022 Cast and crew roundup: Executive producer Gerry Anderson also did &#8220;Invaders from the Deep&#8221; and &#8220;Revenge of the Mysterons,&#8221; as did score composer Barry Gray. Production designer Keith Wilson also did &#8220;Revenge of the Mysterions.&#8221; Producer Fred Freiberger also did &#8220;Beginning of the End. In front of the camera, Catherine Schell was also in &#8220;Moon Zero Two.&#8221; Stuntman Peter Porteous also appeared in &#8220;Future War.&#8221; And Alf Joint was also in &#8220;The Projected Man.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2022 Fave riff: The reference to the &#8220;Dennis Hopper segment of the film.&#8221; Honorable mention: Joel sings a few bars of the Banana Splits theme song as our heroes climb into the ridiculous moon buggy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p id=\"top\" \/>\n<p>Movie: (compilation 1982; original episodes 1976) A re-edit of two &#8220;Space: 1999&#8221; TV episodes.
