It's a computer!

And the question that the General cannot answer is....
*No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*
 
M1795537OCVirn
Well nobody expected that, did they?

Oh well. The vicious lava lamps haven't done much this past couple of weeks. Maybe

I have seen them in real and believe me, they were big and modern at that time!

Pity about the lava lamps. I had set up mine. The one I do not often use as it stinks.

Intriguing episode, but let down by the ending. Why did it have to end like that?

Cliched and shocking. One did not kill off a scientist on screen in those days!

That's what happens when you use stereotypical characters and scenarios to get people to think outside the stereotypes...you can't know things you don't know.

Oh good you tell me that. In my memory the series was far more weird than it showed this time.

Well, I enjoyed this rewatch and I hope to join you next week, but I can't promise because I may get a call for work just like that happened Tuesdays during the B7 rewatches. But I''l try my best.
Thank you for your company!

This is the 1st episode where they have tried to rein the madness in...it doesn't work. Although they will eventually take it too far

Do you think that it caused the series' "dead"?
