- Quotes
Frank Kelly: This thing is kind of mesmerizing since Mr. Judd lit it up.
Spike Martin: Oh! See that right- Look at right there, it looks like a burrito. Huh.
Doug: Where?
Spike Martin: Right- See? It's moving.
Doug: I actually see a face there, kind of. Maybe...
Frank Kelly: John Paul.
Spike Martin: Beatles or Getty?
Frank Kelly: I see the pope's face. Pope John Paul II. He was in at the turn of the century, and fallible, obviously, but great at apologizing for historical bad stuff.
Spike Martin: All I'm seeing is a lot of shiny excrement, I'm sorry guys.
Frank Kelly: JP was one of the good ones, too. Wasn't even a Nazi in his youth.
Doug: I- I'm just not sure a pope would choose to appear in shit. Wouldn't he pick like, motor oil or pancakes?
Frank Kelly: Honestly, I see his face. Maybe I'll see you later, Mr. Pope, since, I guess I'm the only one who can.
The passengers on the ship begin to see things in the floating ring of excrement encircling the ship including the giant face of the Pope. The fervour that this generates upsets Harrison Ames (Paterson Joseph) a wealthy rival of Herman Judd (Josh Gad) who is annoyed that the best place to view the poo pope is on his upper deck. Judd attempts to get Captain Clark (Hugh Laurie) to smooth this over, but he's more concerned about the fact that he's the only person able to engage the ships docking systems but his not trained to do it.
So, I'm repeating myself here but I'm back to liking aspects of the show and disliking others. I don't like any of the stuff that's happening on Earth, and the thrusts of the mission control story are as confusing as they are unfunny. I thought they told NASA that they didn't want any help, but now there's not only a plan to dock the ship and fly everyone home - but there's a way to send a ship to deliver supplies. Why then haven't they been shipping back passengers since the first day they went off course then? I still don't believe that this show takes place in a real world. Why would Zack Woods's character still be making adverts for the amenities on the ship? I feel like the answer is . . so there's more comedy, but I'd prefer the show to work with the limitations, not just ignore them.
Some aspects are reasonably amusing, well.... At the moment, one aspect. Hugh Laurie is still desperately, grumpily, swearing and panicking his way to some laughter. Lenora Crichlow's Billie is an able foil for most of this. But still we waste time with the bickering married couple, the dull astronaut and bad comedian.
One more to go.
