'round these parts we call that "metaphorgotten".

Nope, actually Tom Servo was the more erudite of the bunch as well as less obnoxious than Crow T. Robot. If I had to draw bot parallels from MST3K and QC, I'd say that Tom was more like Winslow and Crow was more like Pintsize. There were 2 other bots (the camera bot and Gypsy), but they weren't generally among the commenting-on-the-horrible-movie folk. Gypsy was usually portrayed as very dumb, but it was revealed (Spoiler?) that she was actually the smartest of them all, she just usually focused most of her intelligence on running the ship/satellite.
Picturing Hanners' spacehome as the SoL makes me picture her Dad as Dr. Forrester -- which is funny, but I home their relationship isn't that adversarial. I prefer to imagine HannerDad as being more like Professor Membrane from Invader Zim.
Other than the having-a-robot-hand aspect of Clinton, Marten may have called him Tom Servo because Tom's chassis was red. :wink:
iduguphergrave:
hm now that you mention it, Marten and Mike Nelson are kinda similar; playin the straight man to the antics of crazy friends, often at his expense. I like to think Marten's a little smoother than Mike though lol

1. Did Jeph just pull a Chekov's Sword?
2. Assertive Marten and his badass bond one-liners may be rare, but he's still my favorite character.
--- End quote ---
Can't be a Chekov's sword, since it's already being used to threaten Clinton. It was a Chekov object when Faye was fiddling with it a few strips back.
Edit: it just occurred to me that may be exactly what you meant. If so, apologies for the slow uptake.

WARNING - I am most likely about to sound stupid....
=====================================================
In Martens last bubble, what does "it's movie sign" mean? I'm sure I'm probably missing some sort of reference here. Also, to all of those that use the internet to seek out "flame fodder".....here ya go, my post is all yours.
