The Quest For Monday! Part 33: Work Ethic

Welcome back, campers!

(Episode: “The Robot Spy”)

Synopsis: When a strange aircraft lands near Dr. Quest’s lab, it’s not an X-File—just Dr. Zin’s latest scheme. The craft contains a spidery robot that can stun people, spy on them, and (Zin hopes) steal an invention intended to harmlessly disarm people. In my opinion, that’s the kind of thing you want supervillains to have instead of the engines of destruction they so often do, but hey, it’s not my story.

Tip 33: With perseverance, you can achieve your goals.

A lab with your name on it is a sure sign that you have Arrived. More cynically, what do you want to bet this is supposed to be a secret installation?

This episode also gives us the unofficial motto of Jonny Quest:

"...and then probably shoot it."
“…and then we’ll probably shoot it.”

 

Next time: I’ve put it off as long as I can, but this week I combine two of my reluctant interests and watch Kenneth Branagh’s Frankenstein.

Next time on TQfM!: We see the robot spy—and it probably sees us right back.

It reads. It writes. It watches. It researches. It overdoes many of those things!
