This episode went… a strange direction.

Impressions:

Let’s see if I can sum this one up. Maaaaster forgot his lunch and needed them to bring it to him, so of course, they immediately fall into a sewer where they basically discover the Morlocks, who take their riceball hostage and threaten to kill it. This secret society, run by dominatrices, has also taken the mice captive and are forcing them to power their full body massagers while their leader lounges in a martini glass of that purple stuff they’re all addicted to beneath a disco ball. I feel like I’m just stringing together random words. Also, she apparently has a cat. Oh, and there’s a cloaked pseudo religious group trying to rebel against them and overthrow sewer society, but they’re all captured and forced to fight to the death in the Thunderdome. It also turns out that laser fire can be stopped by a small bit of cloth. A direct hit did nothing more than loosen the knot. And then there’s the matter of their messiah and sausage…

So, it was certainly an episode. Would that all of them slipped the shackles of sense so consonantly well. Then again,  didn’t really get the feeling that the director or writer were aware of how ridiculous this was, what with trying to elicit sympathy during mouse massaging and the like. Maybe that helped make the whole thing even sillier though. One of the better episodes this show has had in a while, even if it does raise disturbing questions about sewer cults of laser armed dolls running around.

Christmas, apparently.
