Episode Report Card Keckler: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Let That Be Your Last Bakulafield
By Keckler | Season 3 | Episode 12 | Aired on 01.13.2004
Bridge. A Christalien Scientist announces that the remaining Fleabags are coming into range. "Lock weapons," Digimon orders. Enterprise disables, but doesn't blow up, a Fleabag.
Engineering. Quantum and some Uh-Ohs attempt to take Engineering back. I wonder where Trip is. Isn't firing near or at the warp core pretty dangerous?
Corridors. Reed and some Uh-Ohs wanna be startin' something.
Engineering. More fights. Another Christalien Scientist attempts to blow himself up, but Quantum shoots him.
Corridors. Reed shoots one Christalien Scientist, and smacks another in the face with the butt of his gun after the Christalien Scientist takes out an Uh-Oh. Reed then bounces the zealot off several bulkheads. Go, Malcolm! A female Uh-Oh sneaks up behind, gun aimed at Reed's zealot. Another Christalien Scientist sneaks down another corridor, his gun aimed at Reed. The female Uh-Oh sees him coming and with a sneer on her face -- which was excellent -- smacks the Christalien Scientist around. Then she gets smacked around. Then Reed delivers three great punches -- right, left, right -- to his zealot and knocks him out cold. The female Uh-Oh's zealot struggles away and pulls out his gun, but he's shot from behind by Mrs. Doubting Thomas. You know, I get that they wanted to show Mrs. Doubting Thomas actively entering the fray, but it would have been nicer if they had let the female Uh-Oh right-left-right her zealot and had Mrs. Doubting Thomas come to the aid of Reed. I'm sick of women "getting rescued" in fights. Even if it is by another woman.
Bridge. The Fleabags message that they want to surrender. Digimon orders to keep blowing them up. The Christalien Scientist reports that the weapons aren't functioning. Quantum comms the Bridge that he's rerouted command functions to Engineering and taken the weapons offline. Digimon hisses, "Find him!" Are you deaf? He said commands were rerouted to Engineering -- where the hell do you think he is? In Engineering, Quantum tells Digimon that they've also neutralized their body bombs. "You're lying!" Digimon comms back. "Go ahead, try to blow yourself up. I'll wait," Quantum says. BAH! Best line of the episode. Possibly the best line of the entire series! On the Bridge, Digimon makes no attempt to blow himself up. Quantum tells him to stand down before anyone else is hurt. "You know I won't do that," Digimon grins fanatically. The Fleabags come about and fire at them. Digimon pleads with Quantum to get the weapons back online and fire back. Quantum won't comply. The Bridge takes several hits.
From outer space, the Fleabags move in for the kill.
