NC - To Boldly Flee

(We open up to NC's hotel room in the Plot Hole)

NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. Well, we've reached the end of the Nostalgia Cricket's resume of cinematic crap. So why not end on a high tone. [pause] Because he's not talented enough. To Boldly Flee.

(The title of To Boldly Flee is shown, along with clips from the movie)

NC: (vo) Like Sci-fi movies? You won't after this. This film does for science fiction what disaster movies does for... disaster movies. References left and right while never figuring out why they need to make them. Last minute drama to make up for their lack of comedy. And of course, we come full circle. Seeing a guy who started from his parents basement, make a video exploiting empire, resulting to him going back to his parents basement.

NC: Need I say more? Sadly, I have to. This is To Boldly Flee.

NC: (vo) We start off with the NC feeling depressed over the lost of his friend Ma-ti. Of course he waits an entire year and never referencing this in any of his videos. But for the fourth year, I guess he figured it's time to think about him again.

(Film Brain's phone rings)

Film Brain: Hello?

NC: Hey, Film Brain.

FB: Nostalgia Critic! How wonderful to hear your voice!

NC: (sighs) Ma-Ti, you know. I’d never thought I’d end up missing him.

FB: You’re probably feeling guilty.

NC: Nah, that’s not it.

NC: (vo) No, that would require development. And ironically, we're probably gonna get way too much of it in this one.

Man: Nostalgia Critic?

NC: Yeah?

Man: You’re under house-arrest.

NC: (vo) He finds that he is placed under house-arrest because his old friend Terl, has somehow acquired legal action.

Terl: ... and I will not rest until he faces the cruel hand of JUSTICE!

NC: Give him credit for not doing any jokes with a lawyer who represents illegal aliens. But you know, if they thought it, they would.

NC: (vo) But meanwhile, some of the Channel Awesome crew hear a sound in space. Their conclusion, it's big.

SFG: Whatever it is, it’s gigantic.

Joe: ...is it me or does it look like it’s getting bigger?

NC: (vo) Thank God, we spent two minutes on that scene. Things get even stranger, when apparently Spoony's mind has been possesed by the mind of Ma-ti. Which forces him to do God-awful impressions that will later be surpassed by other God-awful impressions.

Spoony: (sounding a bit like Ma-Ti throughout this scene) Help me, Critic! Take me home!

NC: (vo) Meanwhile, we see Linkara is knocked out by his robot double Mechakara, who keeps alive simply because if he escapes, he could say Linkara came out of the closet.

(Joke drum rolls)

NC: (vo) We see later that NC is approached by the Last Angry Geek, who apparently freaks him out so bad, he scares his glasses right on to him.

LAG: Why did you leave Ma-Ti in that oatmeal can?

NC: We cremated him. That usually does the trick.

LAG: Only his body was dead. Critic. His character survived.

NC: (vo) So, thought the magic of surreal fourth wall jokes, we find out that Ma-ti has left his character in someone's mind. Could it possibly be? Clearly the answer lies in the people who no longer on the site.

NC: Spoony. Of course! Spoony has his character.

NC: (vo) We see Dr. Howard and Dr. Fine try to read Spoony's mind, only to find out that Ma-ti has truly possessed it. Gee, it a good thing NC call them and let them know the footage that they fou... oh wait, he never did that because he having a seven heaven moment with the Nostalgia Chick.

NC: ...every single time I get one of these dreams, I feel like it's calling me to someplace important, someplace where I belong, someplace ... where I can make a difference.

NC: (vo) I just can't enough of the NC telling us how he feels. Does he do it any more in this special? You know, just because a woman is talking to you in a comfy chair doesn't mean this Barbara Walters interview! It's gonna take us a "Flight of the Navigator" knock-off to knock off this funk.

Block: Of course, wormhole theory! It's the only way he could travel.

Tease: It's the only logical explanation.

Block: Spoony, where is the hole?

NC: (pretends to hold up a doll) Just point to the doll and tell us where he touched your hole.

(Star charts start showing up on the computer.)

Snob: What's he doing?

Tease: He's searching through star charts.

Block: Our computers don't have this information!

NC: Your computers don't have any information on Jupiter?

NC: (vo) Ma-ti start to communicating thought both Spoony's mind and NC's computer, in the hopes of really doing nothing more than scare the living shit out of them. How? By blowing up their computers, which somehow shows smoke, damage and debris in one shot but not in the other.
