Okay. MI5 is still open if you want to get in on the where were they before game, so check that out if you haven't. But while we wait for more contestants there, we'll continue on with the regular game. As requested, yeah, I got a request!! this week's game comes from the Sci-Fi era. This week, I'll be going with one of my personal favorites from Season 8, The Deadly Mantis!
So, was that mantis really dead? Is there any future for General Love and the photographer gal or will Dr. Jackson and his operatives get some dirt on the general and she go back to Ned where she truly belongs? And what about that really old guy and the greasy little short general? And that frightening Ralph Malph guy at the North Pole and the guy who looked like that guy from SNL who did the news after Dennis Miller? You tell me.
Haven't seen it? Then check out another giant bug movie, Rhino released Beginning of the End. Tell me what happened with those idiots after the grasshopper plague was ended by lovable Peter Graves and his photographer girl. Heck, they're almost the same movie really. Viewer's choice again. One or the other or both, I don't care. Just play!

The Mantis' remains were thrown into Lake Superior, but it was so huge that the water displacement caused a huge tidal wave. No survivors have been found.
Soon after making the film, photographer Marge Blaine was arrested for indecent exposure after her thick coat sleeve ripped revealing her sholder. She publicly appoligized, saying that from now on she'll wear more clothing and stop dressing like a dirty slut.
Dr. Jackson found that life after the Mantis just wasn't the same. He went off searching for more giant bugs to kill. About five years ago we got a messager from him about discovering a giant spider. He hasn't been heard from since.

I've seen the Deadly Mantis, but for the life of me, I can't remember it!  As for The Beginning of the End, General Hanson was demoted to a Captain and sent to a military base in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There he lived quietly until his grandchildren - Zack, Isaac and Taylor formed the group Hanson.  General Hanson committed suicide shortly thereafter, but nobody is sure why. |

General Love and Photography Girl end up marrying the very next weekend (have you noticed that 50's people, for all their foundation garments, seem to fall in love and marry in a matter of minutes in some of these movies?)
Anyway, Photography girl happily quits her job, because that's what all girls are supposed to do when they get married. And her life ends right there. The End!
General Love receives the presidential citation of the "Golden Beetle" that all our American heroes of the giant bug infiltration get. Peter Graves got one for his work in The Beginning of the End too. He spent a successful career building the giant bug radar defense system along our borders, consisting of giant motion detector fly swatters flapping around in the upper atmosphere. I sleep a little sounder knowing he's done his best to protect us all. Yes, General Love's a real American hero.

Hey all, long time no posting.
I watched this one a couple of years ago while cleaning house, so Clorox fumes and my generally poor memory have kept much of its details sketchy. I have not seen The Beginning of the End yet, though it is near the top of my list to purchase on DVD.
A troop of hungry Cajuns on patrol came across the bug's frozen remains one Mardi Gras years later. Reminded of the crawfish delicacies of home, they deep fried as much of it as they could and applied liberal doses of Tony Cachere's seasonings to the rest and gorged on etouffee, gumbo, and dirty rice.
Several hours later, all suffered massive indigestion and had to be hospitalized.
The photographer chick spurned the romantic advances of the men in the movie after reading Betty Friedan. She became a leader of the feminist movement, publicly burned all of her missle bras and girdles, and to this day, refuses to wear undergarments or makeup of nay kind.

Winners! Here you go. For The Deadly Mantis, the winner is: Torgo! And for The Beginning of the End the winner is: quamp! You both win cans of Raid. Every body else wins ant farms. Enjoy your bugs, but don't let Torgo or Quamp come over, obviously. Next up is a poll to vote on what you'd next like to see, so everyone put in your two cents. And as always, thanks for playing.
