Most Ludicrous Premise
Tactical Education Units
Battledroid designer Stacy Keach discusses his Artificially Created Tactical Education Units [a whole 1000 Megabytes of high school teaching power! --K]. But what we really want to know about is his Artificially Created Tactical Hair Unit [a whole 1000 Megayipes of Child Frightening Power! --K].

Acting Appropriately Stupid
Upping the Anti-
Stacy Keach reveals that the teachers aren't just robots, they're repurposed battledroids. Then Principal Malcolm McDowell decides to terminate the program. Yeah, Malcolm, something's getting terminated all right, but it's not the program.

Cast
Actor Character Claim to Fame
Bradley Gregg <Not Yet in Database> writer of Class of 1999; his kids are named Zion, McAbe, Braverijah, Galilee, and Jemima, which eliminates any sympathy I may have had for him 
Traci Lind <Not Yet in Database>  
Malcolm McDowell <Not Yet in Database> "Alex" in A Clockwork Orange; "Soran" in Star Trek: Generations; "H.G. Wells" in Time After Time; famous voice, famous face 
Stacy Keach <Not Yet in Database> Best known as the hard-boozing "Mike Hammer," Keach has played Hollywood's best roles. His flat, mustachioed, tough-guy face is probably already familiar, whether it's in Up in Smoke, The Bourne Legacy, or Escape from L.A.
Patrick Kilpatrick <Not Yet in Database> Quite prolific in smaller action parts. Knott in Minority Report. Finn in Last Man Standing. The Colonel in The Zombinator. Gotta love the name. 
Pam Grier <Not Yet in Database> Veritable Queen of Blaxploitation Badass Babes, she was a groundbreaking force for African-American women in cinema. From Coffy, to Foxy Brown to Jackie Brown and beyond (as in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, her first role). 
John Saint Ryan <Not Yet in Database> Charlie Whelan on "Coronation Street," Fergus on "Roar." Small parts on "Babylon 5," "Dark Angel," and "Buffy."
