a modest proposal for the Skiffy Channel

[sergebroom]

(Yeah, yeah... I originally posted it on May 3, as entry #386 in Making Light's thread Report on the Current Cultural Status of Our Beloved Genre, but Posterity demanded that I put it here too. Really. Honest.)

I have this brilliant idea for a Skiffy Channel movie original. Well, not really brilliant, but I rubbed it a long time with some wax and a very soft rag.

Some company has a factory in a small town. (Probably in Eastern Europe along with every other movie made and shown on the Skiffy Channel.) The company has taken the brilliant but still untested robotics work of a beautiful (hence female) scientist played by Claudia Black and, against her dire warnings that something could go wrong, they are building robotic toys. The only person who will listen to the BFS is the factory's head of security, played by Dean Cain.

Then something does go wrong, and many copies of the dog-sized mosquito-shaped robots escape.

The title?
