Livetweeting Jamie Lee Curtis in Buck Rogers “Unchained Woman”

There were actually no chains in this episode, but there were spandex-clad women, explosions, and Dr. Huer’s superhuman power to deploy payloads of expertly-timed exposition.

  4. The prison shuttle pilot is spinning his joystick, but the stars outside the window aren’t moving. #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  5. Thanks for that exposition, Wilma. #BuckRogers disguised as a prisoner, wearing a huge medal that for some reason won’t attract attention. about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  6. Dr. Huer faces a stuffed shirt who calls him “Elias”. The diplomat is no match for Huer’s advanced powers of exposition. #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  7. Lots of vehicle tracks on this deserted prison planet. #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  8. That’s a fairly brightly lit 200-meter underground prison complex. And the huge medallion raises no suspicion. #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  9. Uh oh, the smirking diplomat is meeting some shady characters in the landing bay. In the brightly lit landing bay. #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  10. Oh, finally — they notice the huge medallion. They really could have thought that one out more carefully. about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  11. I forget #BuckRogers aired on primetime in the 70s, when killing guards was taboo, but killing android guards was ok. about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  12. #BuckRogers corrected Jamie Lee Curtis’s grammar. As far as I’m concerned, Jamie, you can say “who” instead of “whom”. about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  13. Where are the other prisoners? Doesn’t the futuristic mechanical hunter have anything better to than chase #BuckRogers & Jamie Lee Curtis? about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  14. Okay, the very brief shot of the multiple moons in the sky was a nice connection to the matte painting from orbit #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  15. Thank you, sound editor, for dubbing in the explanation that Jamie was grabbed by a “sand squid.” #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  16. Sound editor forgot to dub in the sparking, beeping mechanical guard, until he gets close enough for the sand squid to get him. #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  17. I knew the beeping, sparking android guard wasn’t done for yet. #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  18. A little subtle wokachicka music makes random plot complications fun. #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  19. My daughter has already predicted #BuckRogers will not end without Wilma getting into a fight with another woman. about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  20. Oh, no, Jamie Lee Curtis has (reluctantly) turned on #BuckRogers, and the angry android guard shoved a tree to the ground. about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  21. Ted the smirking ambassador prompts Huer to do a little soul-searching exposition. about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  22. Okay, the android guard’s dramatic entrance would have been more of a surprise if we hadn’t seen the clip in the preview. #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  23. So prisoners in the 25th century can just bang their tracking bracelets on a table, take them off, and put them on someone else? #BuckRogers about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPad
  24. The confrontation between Huer and Ted the Ambassador was better than it had to be, but too peripheral to matter. #BuckRogers about 1 hour ago via Twitter for iPad
  25. And the defeated android, lying abandoned in the town square, keeps on twitching… #BuckRogers about 1 hour ago via Twitter for iPad
  26. My 8yo: “That one was good. For some reason the bracelet reminded me of a candy bracelet. Also #BuckRogers reminds me of Han Solo.” about 1 hour ago via Twitter for iPad
