Well, yeah, that's what one of the characters said in the movie. But
they never used the cow, at least we never saw them doing anything with
it, so why did the scriptwriters add that to the story? That was my
question. Just to make the show more "kooky"? Not that it needed any
extra kookiness, as I said before.

So, what was the line? (I don't remember what it was.)

I got it that the doctor wasn't a psycho. Overmedicated, maybe, and a
little wonky from being shut up for 17 years, but not psycho.
I didn't catch on to who the villain was right away, despite hints (eg,
"I just hope he's worth it"). He just seemed boring to me and I had no
interest in his romance with Olivia. It was clear that something would
develop between her and the doctor's son.
One of my favorite lines was when the doctor put his hands together and
said, "OK! Let's make some LSD!"
Speaking of which, Olivia sure seemed to come down from those drugs
awfully fast, after being removed from the tank.
