Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys - Splitzy's Choice - September 21 1996 Written by Pamela Hickey and Dennys McCoy - Directed by Brad Rader The ship is damaged and the crew goes to a planet to get more flux, to repair the ship before it is too late. The title of this episode refers to the Orangutan Dr. Splitz / Splitzy splitting into 2 separate Space Monkeys. Which is a common trope of having a hero learn to love themselves. Buffy The Vampire Slayer did this with Xander in the S05E03 The Replacement, which aired 4 years after Splitzy's Choice. But something that is very cool, is the opening feels very much like some of the stuff in the first episode of Firefly, The Train Job, and also the heist at the beginning of the Firefly movie Serenity. And those were 2002 and 2005, and Space Monkeys is from 1996. #CaptainSimian #CaptainSimianAndTheSpaceMonkeys #DrSplitz #Splitzy #SplitzyChoice #Firefly #Serenity #BuffyTheVampireSlayer #Buffy #TheTrainJob #TheReplacement #XanderHarris #Babylon5 #JerryDoyle #KarenMaruyama #MauriceLaMarche #DomIrrea #JamesAvery #JeffBennett #ShaoLin #Spydor #Gorilla #Orbitron #monkeysofinstagram #PamelaHickey #DennysMcCoy #BradRader #MichaelDorn #MalcolmMcDowell (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-qbBA0hwfn/?igshid=ebo4smuc48ug
