Episode Report Card Keckler: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Flight Of The Simulator
By Keckler | Season 3 | Episode 14 | Aired on 02.03.2004
But before they can indulge, Quantum wants to get them out of there, in case the Bug Houses repair their engines. He casually mentions a system nearby in which they can hide. Degra goes to the window as the stars streak by to indicate warp-speed. He looks at his reflection, touches his hair self-consciously, and caresses his tattoo. Aw, don't worry about your coif, Degra, Quantum sees a deeper beauty within you.
Grasp the episode lightly by the tail and slowly, deliberately, and without damaging the flesh, skin off the theme song. You can toss it in the trash, but most chefs prefer to burn it because of the lingering stench. If you get a particularly young episode -- say less than three seasons old -- you can just use the theme song for compost because it won't smell up your kitchen nearly as much.
Degra still doesn't believe that his own people would imprison him. Quantum coughs out a chuckle, which pisses Degra off. "It's been a while since you referred to those overgrown grasshoppers as 'your people,'" Quantum says. You know, "overgrown grasshopper" is probably a racial slur in their world. Degra demands to know why he doesn't remember Quantum. Ignoring his supremely hurt feelings, Quantum tells Degra that bloodworms were used as a truth serum during the interrogations. He adds that in addition to four-hour erections, sweating, and nausea, another side effect is memory suppression. Quantum admits that the same thing happened to him: "I forgot everything since flight school." Home Slice, I gotta tell you, that's not necessarily a bad thing. He promises that Degra's memory will come back in a few days. And then Degra will give Quantum a single space rose for every day he couldn't remember how special Quantum was to him. Degra wonders why they were still questioning him if, as Quantum told him, he had been imprisoned for three years. "They wanted information about the weapon," Quantum tells him. "What kind of information?" Degra asks cautiously. Quantum sighs that it's going to take some time. Quantum explains that he was responsible for the failed weapon test, lo, those many years ago. Or lo, those many weeks ago, if you're already wise to the situation. And for some reason I was, but that's okay. Anyway, Continuity decides just to camp out in the bathroom for the rest of the episode rather than go on wetting his pants as Quantum explains that through Mr. Mugato, he tampered with the kemosabe. Degra grinds out that Mr. Mugato will be executed for that. "He was," Quantum says, looking at him. Degra looks up. Quantum says that it didn't matter, because a few weeks later the weapon was launched, and Earth was destroyed.
