Clearly my recent search for cotton rope has led you down a dark path…
Action!
“This doesn’t make sense!”
"That we're being chased by lingerie space pirates, or that
our pilot is a sex toy?”
“That the sex toy is a better pilot than I am!”
"She's probably just had more stick time."
“Not funny. Why does her programming include combat evasion tactics?”
"Maybe she's playing hard-to-get, who cares. Can we focus on
this problem?”
“Right. Killer robot trying to cripple the ship. How long have we got?”

Well, I guess now we know what they were saving their effects budget for. Honestly, I’d have preferred a midget in a rubber suit, in the great Doctor Who tradition, but at least we’re in space in the future doing future space things, and not reminding people about Socially Important 20th-Century History. Oh, wait, that’s next week, when they find Yaz’s grandmother hip-deep in the partition of India and Pakistan.
Warning quote from next week’s writer:
“I grew up watching shows like Star Trek and Quantum Leap on the edge of my dad’s bed, and I loved how they managed to capture the imagination of a kid like me as well as acting as a moral compass.”
