I fear that the kids of today will never get the chance to view this wonder of wonders, but if you get the chance, see it. If only to see what Childrens TV was like back then. Cult TV Blogging Star Maidens 1. NemesisThe second episode of the 1. Star. Maidens opens with the thought space holds no. The question regarding such a comment, of course, is intent. Is. this series poking fun at such anti woman proverbs Or does Star. Maidens take such commentary seriously, and reflect it in its space age. Given the other humorous aspects of the episode, I would suggest. At some, hopefully intentional level, Star. Maidens seems to recognize the humor in applying broad, sexist language. The premise finds a rigidly, unthinking patriarchy Earth confronting a. Medusa. Our silly conceits about sex are, ultimately, reflected by. Medusas silly conceits about them. Cant we all just get along This second episode of the 1. Medusan pursuit ship Nemesis following. Adam and Shem to Earth. The two escaped domestics have fled their space age. English countryside. The men are happy to be free at last, they. They soon encounter a cow pasture and see cows grazing. This doesnt speak well of their intelligence, but. Star Maidens is something of a. Later, Adam and Shem happen across a farm and find apples to eat. Earth girl chases them off the grounds. They flee the. property by jumping over a tall brick wall in a single bound, pointing to the. Medusa and Earth have different gravity, and idea later repeated on Galactica. This scene is actually quite funny, as it involves, again, Shems. He is terrified when the young human threatens. Shem veritable cowers. The women from Medusa Fulvia Judy Geeson and Octavia Christiane. Kruger land on Earth and meet with Liz Lisa Harrow and Professor Evans. Derek Farr. The Medusan women demand the return of Adam and Shem, and bark. When he tries to explain what is happening. Octavia curtly tells him to be quiet. In the same sequence, Octavia utilizes superior Medusan weaponry. Their weaponry is a kind of. Medusa after the character in Greek myth. More genuinely humorous is the device that Fulvia uses to track. Adam. Its called a man finder, and it hunts down a. The theory being that each man. Apparently, men wander off quite a bit on. Medusa, and their overlords need to wrangle themThe episode culminates with Adam and Shem riding around dirt roads. It all happens to the tune of a groovy seventies musical score. Its like Doctor Who meets Smokey. Bandit. Its. pretty clear from this second installment of the series that Star. Maidens has descended fully into tongue in cheek humor in. I could mention again the moment wherein the none too bright. Medusa sample grass along with generous cows. Or the moment. wherein the Nemesis ship lands in a wide open field, two gorgeous alien women. Nope. A conversation immediately begins about the Medusans. Its like a conversation officials from two countries. But officials from two. And the scene in which the caped, futuristic women from Medusa. It. plays as comedy. Still, since according to Fulvia in this episode. I guess I can be grateful. Star Maidens is as entertaining as it. However, Nemesis does not set one foot on advanced Medusa, and that means. Next week Nightmare Cannon.
