Who are you? Do you know the way to San Jose?

That was what bugged me most about the epsiode - it wasn't just a personal betrayal, it was a professional one, and the guys would likely have been fired for faking data and wrecking an experiment that probably cost a few hundred $K to set up.

Alan Moore's 1963 comics event did this perfectly - though it could be an entry in "My Year of Comic Book Flops." (Secret Success)

So we finally have our Whedonverse/Reaper connection.

Has the gang started dropping by Lorne's club at this point? (Though he wouldn't be Lorne for a while. I remember on the TWOP boards we called him Cary for a long time. As in Cary Okie.)

All I want to know is
do they run into Ka-Zar and find the mound of Savage Land Vibranium?

Amy Winehouse has had a blood transfusion from Keith Richards and is now effectively immortal.
