Hmmm…It reminds me of the time when I “persuaded” my fiancee that the “little cute green grandpa” is the coolest character of the galaxy and not a by-product of toxic waste…
Twiki is a fictional character on the television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Twiki (pronounced twee-kee) is a robot sometimes referred throughout the series as an “ambuquad” (which, as depicted in the episode, “Twiki is Missing”, refers to a specialized series of robots made for work in space mines). Built by an ambuquad facility in New Chicago, the same episode also reveals that the robot’s model number is 22-23-T. The character’s name, “Twiki,” is derived from the robot’s alphanumeric designation: TWKE-4, as revealed in the episode, “Shgoratchx!” Most notably in the first season, Twiki was often seen carrying Dr. Theopolis around with him.

I’m surprised his mom didn’t say “Make it so, number one” when he suggested the pic with Frakes.

Let it be noted, that all of the episodes I enjoyed the most happened to be directed by Frakes! Well, many, if not all!

He’s right. Twiki does look like Darth Vader’s wussy kid brother.

I am very happy to report that I have no idea what a “twiki” is.
