As we know, Tom Servo got around by use of his hoverskirt. Why did he need to be carried into the theater by Joel/Mike?
There are both “on-screen” and “off-screen” reasons: The on-screen reason is explained in episode 110- Robot Holocaust: Servo reminded Joel to carry him over a ventilation grate that was apparently in the floor at or near the entrance of the theater. Mike was also informed of this fact in episode 513- The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, his first episode as host. Apparently, Servo’s hoverskirt had difficulty providing enough force to carry him over the grate on his own, although he did it on a few occasions. The off-screen reason: When they entered the theater, Joel/Mike could walk in, and Trace/Bill could slide over with Crow from the right, but Josh/Kevin had to be already sitting in Tom Servo’s spot. So Joel/Mike had to carry Tom Servo in and hand him to Josh/Kevin, and carry him out at the end.
