The final scene

Had a bout of insomnia Wed. nite/Thur. morn, so I watched the last 4 episodes and had forgotten how humorous (often unintentionally) this flick was. But in the very last scene, as Zarkov turns to tell Flash and Dale that Earth is the next stop or somesuch, those two embrace and seal it with an open-mouthed kiss, which was definitely a no-no under the Production Code. Ms. Rogers tongue is quite visible as she moves close to Mr. Crabbe. His back is to the camera, but it's obvious he's reciprocating! Anyone else ever notice this?

Absolutely! Funny, right before the final scene I was thinking throughout the series you never saw much more than hand-holding. Then came that final scene. She really laid it on Flash. Open mouth, obvious some tongue action going, her whole body getting into it. Then there's Dr. Zarkov with his sh*teating grin. lol She was very hot. That was some kind of acting that kiss, but then, maybe it wasn't acting. "Prepare to land"
