Episode One:  Wake up call

In this adventurous but wacky tale, Rashida Dawn Potts and Barney “Gams” Ojeda are two low-level crew members of the interstellar spaceship Wasatch, who have been in stasis for what they thought would be a relatively short journey back to Earth. But they are awakened “a bit” later by creatures who are now native to the ship but did not exist when it launched.
Why were they awakened?
Who is Space Cook?
What’s going on?!?!

Episode two:  The Horrible Monster Next to the bigger monster

We find out just exactly how long Rashida Dawn Potts and Barney Ojeda have been in stasis (hint: it's longer than the planned 22 months). We also find out why the three representatives of the race known as Perotti's Pixie People--Izzy, Clee, and Rattles---awakened Potts in the first place. And then there's the monster.

Episode Four: The Windsniffer

In episode 4 of Space Cook, we learn more about the history of the spaceship during the eleven hundred years that Rashida and Barney were in stasis, and Rashida, Izzy, and Clee finally get to Pixie home turf in search of both Barney’s legs and why Space Cook was revived in the first place. We also learn that zombies can sing.

Meanwhile, Barney and Rattles set off on their own. And did we mention the mummy? No? Well, there's a mummy.

episode six: the return of the interfering gits

Will she succeed in keeping war off the menu? Will Barney get his legs back? Will Space Cook live up to her name?
