When he was at the command prompt typing stuff in, he was clearly creating a new user account. Which I could buy doing in front of a computer illiterate person, but he was doing in front of their IT guy. And then just sat there looking at the monitor for a few minutes, doing nothing. (Meanwhile, other scenes were…

You disgust us! ;)

I recently watched the Rifftrax treatment of the prequels. Even with Mike and the bots…er, gang, it was still a massive slog to get through.

If I remember right, "42" is the first episode where I started my descent into displeasure with the show. Not EVERY episode since then, but I definitely started becoming more critical.

"Damn, that was fucking awesome. Let's go check out the AVClub review!"

So the whole "Truth or Consequences" thing had absolutely no bearing on anything…at all? Or did I miss something? Yes, it was printed inside the boxes, not revealed until the end. But how did ZISIS come to use that as a catchphrase? Why drag New Mexico into this at all? What was the point? Halp.

I flushed something, earlier today, that was better than Kill the Moon. ;)

This is possibly the first episode where Chopper actually made me happy, merrily raining double-handed gunfire down on someone. Still loathe him, but credit where it's due.

As much as I loathe Kara's boss (as a character, the actress is doing the best with what she's given), I actually liked the part where she talked about Supergirl needing to walk before she can run. I was stunned she was actually the voice of reason on this. Kara has the power, but not the experience.

I had a serious problem believing we'd willingly allow 20 MILLION SHAPE-SHIFTING ALIENS to secretly mix in with the human race. This crippled my ability to take the rest of the episode seriously. :/

She observed something odd and checked into it. Finding nothing solid, she moved on. Only in retrospect was it 'obvious'. It could have been building solely towards the elevator scene later on.

I was wondering if the light from the heat source/crack could have been MacGuyvered into something. I mean, in a universe with batteries that last for months and can then power a laptop for a while.

Star Wars in general seems to have this problem. Once or twice is fine, but this kind of stuff gets referenced constantly. It stops being fun.

Did you get as far as "The Girl in the Fireplace", episode 4 of series 2?

Yeah, just move to the back of the bus, Rosa. :P

Just finished the series this morning. You're right: it doesn't make sense. But it does, at least, jive with the OTHER equally lousy interpretation of timeline changing events when Peter vanished. So I guess, using the show's internal logic, it "works".

Exactly. I've only recently come to appreciate him, too. Glad he's getting some recognition. :)

The first time they showed up, it was an amusing joke. But it's going to be sticking around? No. That's utterly dumb. I've cut Moff a LOT of slack since he took the wheel, and tried to see things his way, but I can't do it here. You had to defend something you've done by using the phrase "embrace the heresy". Think…

They may well have, but it was a dead end. ;) (Hello from the future, by the way! :D)

I can't believe how SHORT this episode felt. It went so fast! Thought it was half over when Steven tried to take a piss.
