Tripping the Rift

- Season 1

(2005)

Chode and Gus take a time travel trip to the beginning of creation and mess up the nature of the universe.

The Confederation forces Chode and the crew to kidnap former Mutilation Game star Malak and bring him out of retirement for a game against the Dark Clowns.

Chode enters Six in the Miss Galaxy 5000 pageant after getting himself instated as one of the judges (as Fritz Feltchman). Darph Bobo has also gotten himself a judges pass (as Marvin Wankerstein) and enters his daughter Babette as a contestant. Even T'Nuk enters, coached by Gus. When contestants end up being murdered, evidence incriminates Six (though the murder weapons are all clown related).

Just before beaming down to the planet Snozzle, an irresistible packet of Clownzooka Chew-n-Spit gum materializes at Chode's feet. When he spits out the gum planet-side, he is immediately arrested for soiling the sidewalk an sentenced to be electrocuted on live Pay-TV.

Chode takes the Devil to court.

Gus is recalled by Baltar Industries and replaced by a new Gus XP model while Chode's grandpa Benito comes to visit.

Chode is hired to place a giant monolith on the primitive planet of the Kubrickians. When it turns out to be a scheme by Darph Bobo to enslave the planet, Six convinces Chode to go back. The fact that the planet houses a heap load of gold also helps to sway Chode's greedy little mind.

Having been trapped in a plasma storm for nine days, the Jupiter 42 crew takes a holiday detour to Floridia 7 (a.k.a. the "Spring Break Planet") and are immediately forced by Dark Clown presidential candidate Klak Klownman to find and/or fabricate some dirt on his Confederation opponent, George Goodfellow.

On the run from Darph Bob, Chode meets the twin he never knew he had, King Regis Philbrick, ruler of the planet Moldavia. Naturally the two of them swap places.

With Bob critically damaged, Chode crash lands the Jupier 42 on the extremely violent planet Harmonia VII and goes in search of replacement parts.

Darph Bobo kidnaps Whip, then slices off one of Chode's tentacles during a light saber duel. Feeling like he's lost his masculinity, Chode retreats into his quarters leaving Whip Bobo's slave and T'Nuk in charge of the ship.

Chode steals T'Nuk's idea to win a peace prize (and a million Kronigs reward) by hooking up Darph Bobo's daughter Babette with Commander Adam's son Adam 12 so the war between the Confederation and the Dark Clowns would have come to an end. Naturally the two commanding officers and their wives strongly disagree

During girls-night out at the strip club The Full Moon, Six bumps into Ten, a male sex slave who once saved her life. To help him and his companions escape from bounty hunter Francis Boba Fett III, Six takes off with the Jupiter 42 shuttle called 'Surrender Dorothy'. An enraged Chode immediately replaces her with a new sex droid, Angel.
