Episode #435: Admit it, you're crushing a little, aren't you?
Episode Notes
Sometimes the idea for an episode comes from needing to further the plot, sometimes it comes from real life, sometimes it's a parody of something else, and sometimes it's inspired by randomly selecting an outfit for a minifig and realising you've made something, sort of, kind of, almost... fanservice-y.
Ladies and gentlemen: Major Tom. Fry him a kipper, he'll be back for breakfast!
