A monster more than 100 feet high! Sounds terrible!

And he's waving at everybody to come back! Love the pink polka dot tongue. Love the fact that the kid actually picks up a banana from a fruit basket when the creature's hand goes through the hotel window and throws the banana at it. This monster looks like the Creature from the Black Lagoon and drag. It is ridiculously silly, especially playing with a toy boat that it sinks which causes a nuclear bomb to get stuck to its beard. So much about this episode is hysterically funny, especially when one of the soldiers tells everybody to run for the hills, and pretty much every detail about the creature itself. At times, the monster looks like it's stopping to pose for selfies. There's also an annoyingly cute little girl who has a big plate of sandwiches in front of her and promises her care-taker that she can eat every one of them. And when all else fails with a monster, play music, and it will start to disco dance for you, even though it apparently doesn't like music. Maybe with that tongue, they should have tried a polka. It really looks like something that Jim Henson later would create for the Muppets.

Big Climax Already?

Never expected a very beginning series to drop big suspense in the 4th Episode. They litterally put a nuclear bomb in the show as the biggest threat in the episode. I love it that they solved the problem like this.
