Goddamned UPN promo monkeys ruined the ending of this episode for us. Haaaaate. Oh, you want to watch this here episode that's coming up in THREE SECONDS? Well, let's show you what happens so you don't have to. There. Now you can turn the channel, watch another station, another show, and continue to kill the ratings for us. Thaaaaaanks. Punk-ass dillholes.
Defiant's Bridge. Evil Leaper bellows at Evil Trinneevil to get on various engineering things and then makes me guffaw by saying, "Release the ducking clamps." Sure, he meant "docking," but it's like he turned into The Kumars at No. 42 for a moment. Jackass. They're screwed for a bunch of ship functions, so Evil Leaper leaps around, evilly, glaring at people. Man, and I thought his regular furrows were bad, but these are…the same, actually. Reedvil says the shields are functional. "Raise THEM!" Evil Leaper says. It's like Bakula went and watched "The Corbomite Maneuver" and is now trying to act like a Shouting Vulcan all "STAND-byyy to-photow-GRAPH!". The ship can't break free of the clamps. Evil Leaper then does some dreknobabble, finishing with, "I'll alternate port and starboard thrusters. ThatshouldshakethemLOOSE." What a freak. Just a big, big freak. They break free, but the Tholians start dreamweaving. Because they believe it will get them through the night. However, unlike last week's triangulated icosahedron, this is more like a cat's cradle. Sans little boy blue, of course, but there's probably a man in the moon. Evil Leaper heaves us into the awesome credits.
I could watch these over and over again for the entire hour and feel I had spent my time wisely. I think it says something about the caliber of the regular credits that four peace-loving liberals and one Kiwi Green were hooting and hollering at all the death and destruction on the screen. Dr. Mathra really wanted that jet to be Bush's premature and immature "Mission Accomplished" moment because truly, if there was something evil...
More dreknobabble. Evil Trinneevil manages to do something that brings tactical online, and they fire their way out of spacedock. Evil Leaper asks, "Does this thing have half torpedoes?" Yes, he meant "aft," but again, his freakshow delivery is just so fucking distracting! They fire their half torpedoes and explode the station. I don't care that TOS' Enterprise didn't have aft torpedoes. This is the Defiant and that's good enough for this recapper. Reedvil announces that Enterprise's escape pods are out there and wanting to be rescued. Evil Leaper pauses for a bit BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT HE MIGHT JUST MIGHT LET THEM ALL PERISH LIKE I'M JUST SO SURE HE WOULD EVER HAVE THE EVIL BALLS. Dillweed. Evil Leaper orders the pods brought aboard. Whatever, I'm over his "evilness."
Retro-briefing room with IADC computer banks in the background. Any sign of Ira? Any sign of anyone else who was addicted to Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman while growing up? Anyway, this begins the part of the episode where Dr. Mathra is convinced that Bakula is channeling herniated "Jimmy, I've got a surprise for you" Joey. "We neeeed warp driiiiive!" Evil Leaper rasps. Evil Trinneevil announces, "Engineering's been stripped to the bulkheads but the good news is --" "You just saved a bunch of money on your car insurance?" the Evil Dr. Mathra asks. He didn't like this episode as much as the first one. I guess the good news actually is that the stuff they need is in the hangar deck but Evil Trinneevil needs time to put it all back together. When Evil Trinneevil says he needs two or three days, Evil Leaper gets up in his face. Evil Trinneevil apologizes, saying defensively, "I'm not even sure what some of these systems are supposed to do -- it's like I'm chief engineer on a steamship." I'm sorry, but steamship is just too close to steamboat and steamboat is too close to pee-can pah and, well, Evil Trinneevil might as well be dressed up like Col. Sanders, running around inventin' the cotton gin. Evil Leaper makes with some threats while T'Pevil CRACK WHORES that they should make use of the alien workers who are rampaging about the ship somewhere. Evil Leaper wants the warp drive brought online right away so they can meet up with the Assault Fleet. T'Pevil doesn't think they are battle-ready, what with the total lack of people to run the damn ship. Evil Leaper yells that she's stupid and dismisses everyone. It looks like Phlevil and She-Ho made it, but what about Evil Porthos? Evil Leaper holds T'Pevil back shoves her down into a chair. Rubbing a gun under her jaw, Evil Leaper says he should kill her for last week's betrayal. Actually, he doesn't even say "kill," he says "shoot," which is just SO not evil. Plus: yeah, right. T'Pevil makes excuses and says that since Forrest is dead, her total allegiance is now pledged to Evil Leaper. Evil Leaper grunts, "I've never had trouble with your people until they became a part of this rebellion. If I had another officer capable of doing your job, I'd escort you to the nearest airlock." No. No, you wouldn't. Ass. Is it too much to hope that because the townspeople ignored him, an airlock will come along and eat him? Evil Leaper makes with the "threats" and the bad breath melting T'Pevil's Cheetos eye shadow before telling T'Pevil to get out. By the way? That eye shadow? Makes her look consumptive on top of anorexic. In the podcast, the Startrek.com guy thinks that T'Pevil's eye shadow is a "subtle" makeup change. Yeah, as subtle as Agent Orange.
She-Ho visits Evil Leaper in his chicken-wired quarters and cackles, "What are you wearing?" Evil Leaper, who is oddly posed with one foot on a chair and the other on the floor, flings his arms wide and says he found Kirk's puce wraparound with lamé accents in the captain's wardrobe. "These people had some strange ideas about uniforms," She-Ho says as she pulls on an "I [heart] Irony" shirt over her cropped top. While Evil Leaper whinges that he can't find any mention of the Terran Empire in the ship's computer, She-Ho pours out two glasses of "It's green!" For this episode, I mixed up a special pitcher of It's Greentinis. They were quite tasty and potent and no one had a Data reaction to them. She-Ho and Evil Leaper discuss the United Federation of Planets that exists in the other universe, and snark about peace. "United Federation of FOOLS," Evil Leaper snorts. It's amazing how I can agree with him, yet still hate him. Evil Leaper calls up biographical information (complete with fugly-ass yearbook photos) on their other selves and then they decide they don't want to learn about themselves. Bored. Evil Leaper is such a freak about his other self that he can't even bring himself to look at the bio, and instead furrows and gnashes his teeth and gets loudly crabby when She-Ho reads his stuff aloud. I guess it's because his other self is all successful and this self's got evil issues. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the furrowest of them all? Did I mention I was bored with this particular plot? Evil Leaper spits, "There's nothing great about that man!" Damn right there isn't. She-Ho strokes Evil Leaper's ego and reminds him how the Emperor will react when he brings Defiant home: "Starfleet will have to give you a command of your own." Evil Leaper wrenches away and says he already has a command of his own. God, he's a brat. By the way, they managed to use Majel's TNG voice for the computer. I wonder if they had her come in for it or if they just used old footage -- the podcast doesn't comment on it at all.
Evil Trinneevil and his engineering team are running into problems with important stuff being ripped out of Jeffries tubes. Evil Trinneevil yells at a Jeffries-tube-crouching redstripe to get fixin' things. The ship's detail is pretty awesome here. Someone on the boards asked if Dr. Mathra had a big "geekgasm" over the level of detail. I'm just going to say that the word "geekgasm" totally grosses me out, but yes, we both enjoyed the ship's detail. The redstripe who just saw the meltier side of Trip is snatched by something unseen. He screams. Gee, I hope it's not a horribly CGI'd Gorn or anything. In the podcast, Sussman says he thinks the guy should have kicked harder, but he likes to think it's because the redstripe's spinal cord was instantly severed.
Phlevil reports that he found traces of reptilian saliva in the redstripe's wounds because a really large reptile-type thing bit him. T'Pevil stands up to say that they can't sweep the whole ship for the creature since some of the sensors are still offline. So, they put Jolene in a "sexy" charcoal-blue TOS mini-dress but, dude, it bunches and catches and clings in all the wrong ways and it's making me want to spray Static Guard all over her. Not attractive. Evil Trinneevil comes in with more bad news about the engines: because of all the sabotage, they only have impulse engines. Hey, Trinneevil, can I stop the world and melt with you? Evil Leaper orders one of the Tholian slave workers brought in for questioning. Reedvil mops up a pool of saliva before carrying out the orders.
May-Evil, who, in the earlier scene, was togged out in a tiiiiight redshirt (can you believe they finally acknowledged May-Evil's deathwatch status?) that showed off his pythons, is now in a tank top to ensure that nothing impedes him as he Abu Ghraibs the slave worker. Finally, the soppy, blue-faced, no-nosed, fish-like prisoner sobbingly admits that their slave master is a Gorn and was planning to sabotage the ship.
Reedvil shows Evil Leaper where they think the Gorn might be. And then something weird happens to my cable system. We jump to another scene where Evil Leaper is dressed like Quantum and is talking over Reedvil. Seriously. The transition was so awkward that we actually thought the editing crew had screwed up in a big way. We had to rewind and play a few times before we finally figured out that Evil Leaper was having a psychotic moment. See, his Other Self is sitting on the Bridge, taunting him. And while I'm all for taunting this guy, I thought this whole thing was one of the weakest things about this episode. It's nowhere near the Baltar-Six or Crichton-Harvey interaction and just looks pathetic by comparison. Evil Leaper decides to take an assault team and track down the Gorn himself. She-Ho finds the Gorn on the comm and Evil Leaper attempts talk to him. Evil Leaper shouts at the Gorn that he wants his plasma stuff back. The Gorn is all, "Sorry, dude, humans suck." During the conversation, we get a darkened shot of the Gorn's profile, which sort of makes him look Scarran and I got really hopeful. Those hopes will be dashed in a very few minutes. Fucking show. Evil Leaper continues to bellow, but the Gorn hangs up on him. T'Pevil tries to talk some sense into Evil Leaper but he doesn't listen because the familiar swish-swish of the turbo-lift doors drown her out. In the turbolift, Quantum (whose face is so much bigger than Evil Leaper's) does some more subversive nattering in Evil Leaper's ear.
The assault team searches and strategizes. Reedvil brings his men to a corridor where they have tracked and triangulated a biosign. Reedvil waits for it, flexes, nods at his men, then jumps into a lunging pose in the middle of the corridor. His backup crew follow with similar poses. It's like Star Trek!: The Musical. The tracked biosign is coming from a modified comm device left on the floor. A trap. Elsewhere, a production assistant in oversized reptilian gloves pushes a button. Explosion. Evil Leaper prances to investigate. "I've failed you, Captain," Reedvil chokes out as Evil Leaper steps over his bleeding face. Well, you would wear a red shirt, Reed. I mean, I know it matched your lips, honey, but time? Be smart rather than pretty. Evil Leaper tells T'Pol to go to Plan B and modify environmentals on another deck.
What happens is more pathetic than anything that I ever saw in TOS, and yes, I'm including the crawling Giant Pepperoni Pizza in that. Evil Leaper steps over some suitably clad and coiffed Defiant crew and looks around. Above him, we can see a CGI Gorn, hanging from the ceiling. Evil Leaper looks around a bit more and the Gorn falls on him. They fight. You know what? I can't even finish this tonight -- the CGI is SO bad, it's depressing the hell out of me, and I'm just going to have to pick this up tomorrow. I'm off to read Demian's recap of "The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell" because I know that will put me in a better mood.
Ugh. I'm back. And this scene does NOT improve upon acquaintance, so let's get it over with. Evil Leaper rolls around the floor with a CGI that makes Jar Jar Binks look like a miracle of science. In fact, this rendition puts me in mind of Calibos in Clash of the Titans. The CGI is also several shades paler than anything else in the scene and therefore just looks IN-credibly RI-diculously FAKE! Meanwhile, the dumbass Uh-Oh stands there batting at Jar Jorn with the butt of his gun. Hey, dude? Yeah, that other side of the gun, see, it's for firing. And for those who opine he was afraid to shoot Evil Leaper: one, and that's a bad thing? But two? He's a fricking TRAINED MILITARY COMMANDO! And by "trained" I mean that he is TRAINED to shoot one guy AND NOT THE OTHER! God. Jar Jorn goes after the Uh-Oh and, like, eats him or something. Eventually, Evil Leaper shifts the grav plating and shoots Jar Jorn dead. Or, you know, shifts the grav plating and turns off the projector. Look, they didn't need to bring back the papier-mâché (how cool would that have been, though?), but couldn't they have at least gone the Farscape-Scarran route?
Evil Leaper is rendezvousing with the assault fleet. In the mess, T'Pevil tries to bond with Phlevil over food cubes and Romulan Ale and the fact that both their races would be much more advanced if they betrayed the Terran Empire. Phlevil doesn't seem inclined to care. I'm somewhat inclined to note that we find out Reedvil isn't yet dead, but if he did die, there would be "several discreet celebrations." Also, Shakespeare's works are "equally grim" in both universes. Heh. Evil Leaper sounds the red alert and calls all hands to battle stations. I just had a thought -- since they are in an Evil Mirror Universe, does this mean their Evil Chef is Sandra Lee?
On another Starfleet ship, Gregory Itzin (who I like to think of as the poor man's Billy Joel), fights off rebel fleets as Admiral Black. Soevil, with a scraggly goatee that only in the furthest reaches of the imagination is as evil as Spock's goatee, is also serving on this ship. They take heavy damage. Using memorable and lovable torpedo-launching sound effects, Defiant rescues them, destroying a Vulcan ship in the process. T'Pevil is sad. Now that I think about it, her eye shadow is reminiscent of the color of Vulcan. Nice touch. But she still looks like she's about to cough blood if she doesn't eat something soon. May-Evil wants to blow up the retreating rebel ships, but Evil Leaper stops him, saying, "I want the other rebels to know what happened here." You want the other rebels to know that you're a penis bone. Evil Leaper languorously asks for Admiral Billy Joelette.
On Defiant, Admiral Billy Joelette admires the ship and also makes it clear that when they return to Earth, Evil Leaper will not be given command of it or any other vessel. Heh. Even in the evil universe, everyone knows that Quantum shouldn't be captain. Anyway, it's at this point that Quantum returns to whisper evil sweet nothings in Evil Leaper's ear. I find it interesting that, while Evil Leaper has such a low image of himself, his Jiminy Dicket, or conscience, or whatever, is still about a head shorter than he is. And sort of fatter. Anyway, Jiminy Dicket's mutterings make Evil Leaper vaporize Billy Joelette.
While aboard the Starfleet ship Avenger, Evil Leaper delivers a non-stirring speech to his mixed crowd. Seriously, he's got some Defiant members mixed up with the Avenger crew, who are probably a bit suspicious of this new guy. Especially since he killed their old commander and is now rather rudely pacing on top of one of their shuttlepods. It's the same old shit, blah blah, constipation, blah blah, furrows. When Bakula suddenly drops into a half-crouch, it's not so much Star Trek as it is Cats. And the image of Quantum accepting his invitation to the Jellicle Ball made me giggle for the rest of the episode. What a complete dork. The sad thing is, Sussman says he rented Patton to get in the mood for writing the speech, and that's great and all, but he made one fatal mistake: Scott Bakula is no George C. Scott.
T'Pevil visits Soevil in his quarters -- something the other Soval has ALWAYS yearned for -- and Soevil warns her off of doing the Vulcan salute, as it's dangerous, even behind closed doors. T'Pevil, by lots of crazy face-thrusting, tries to get Soevil to join her cause to overthrow the Terran Empire. Soevil thinks he's too old to be a rebel. Considering that his auburn goatee of evil doesn't match his grey hair, I'd say that he's too colorblind to be a rebel.
In Evil Leaper's darkened and "overly blue" (according to Dr. Mathra) quarters, the silhouettes of Evil Leaper and She-Ho post-pillow talk about Evil Leaper's anxiety issues. He thinks his senior officers and T'Pevil don't approve. Dude, take a Xanax and conquer the Empire already! Damn, stop wasting my time. She-Ho proposes they get rid of T'Pevil. Evil Leaper agrees, and wants to get rid of all non-Terrans. She-Ho seems to balk slightly at this, as she hopes he doesn't plan to get sick any time soon since his doctor is also a non-Terran. Aw, even in the Mirror Universe, She-Ho is looking out for Phlox. They make out, and She-Ho pre-orgasms that she's never been the consort of an emperor before. Can you imagine Quantum as an emperor, though? "Friends, Romans, gazelles, lend me your ears. I come to bury Quantum, not to praise him. The evil that Bermaga do lives after them, the Trek is oft interred with their boners." "The abuse of furrows is when it disjoins remorse from talent." "O conspiracy! Sham'st thou to show thy furrowed brow by Friday night, when evils are most UPN?" I'll tell you this much, whenever Quantum or Evil Leaper comes on screen, I do have an itching palm.
On the Bridge, T'Pevil secretly downloads important evil stuff from the ship's computer. Evil Leaper steps onto the Bridge and asks for a link to Admiral Gardiner, as well as to have T'Pevil escorted to the transporter room. As T'Pevil walks out, Evil Leaper steps in her path to tell her that her services are no longer required. May-Evil steps up to relieve T'Pevil of her weapon, communicator, and a few packets of Post-Its. A few hours later an evil email will be sent saying, "It is with mixed feelings that we say goodbye to Commander T'Pevil this afternoon. We thank Commander T'Pevil for her years of tireless service and we wish her well in her future endeavors." Admiral Gardiner gets on the viewscreen to bellow at Evil Leaper for demanding Starfleet's unconditional surrender. Evil Leaper sprawls a pat Kirk pose in his chair and suggests that Gardiner order his forces to stand down. "Starfleet can't afford to lose any more ships!" Evil Leaper grins, throwing his hands wide. I'll give Bakula this, he plays a good asshole. Gardiner bellows some more and hangs up on him.
The ship's comm system whee-HEES an old fashioned boatswain's whistle to call Phlevil to the Avenger for a medical emergency.
Once there, Phlevil realizes that T'Pevil and Soevil are just trying to get him to join their rebellion. He's a bit weirded out by the prospect and threatens to report both of them. T'Pevil whisper-freaks that Evil Leaper plans to kill the Emperor and take his place. Phlevil fence-sits until T'Pevil reminds him that if he saves the Emperor from Evil Leaper, he might get his own research facility with all the dead animals his tri-chambered heart desires. "Don't forget the fe-males," Soevil adds over T'Pevil's shoulder, waggling his eyebrows. We cut from the shot before we can see T'Pevil roll her eyes with the rest of us at Soevil's totally dorkish, but amusing, delivery. Phlevil seems to give in.
While prancing down a corridor and up to a turbolift, T'Pevil is taken into custody by She-Ho and her plus-one. She-Ho demands the schematics she downloaded. As T'Pevil repeats, "Schematics," the plus-one Uh-Oh relieves T'Pevil of her weapon. Uh, didn't Evil Leaper already do that about three minutes ago? So, what -- they took her weapons before she left Defiant but allowed her to rearm once she boarded Avenger? Forget the furrows, Evil Leaper's too stupid to be emperor. And there's a fight. And once T'Pevil dispatches the Uh-Oh, there's a girl-on-girl fight. Greaaat. I will say this, I love that when She-Ho got close enough with her ever-ready blade to slash T'Pevil's face, T'Pevil was bleeding green in the shot. When She-Ho expresses delight over the woman-on-woman defense, T'Pevil snits, "I'm surprised you're not exhausted from all the beds you've jumped into recently." Well, with Evil Leaper, it's not exactly tiring, is it? I mean, you touch his thigh and the minute he's crying. She-Ho gets back her own when T'Pevil REALLY fake struggles with She-Ho's arm as She-Ho says, "Commander Tucker told me I should give you a few pointers in that area." I'm sorry, but the day She-Ho or Hoshi gives pointers to T'Pol OR T'Pevil in the sex area is the day I strip down and run the Bay to Breakers. T'Pevil finally knocks She-Ho out, only to get shot in the back as she tries to run off.
Phlevil climbs up a Jeffries tube in the Defiant as Soevil and the random Andorian and Orion Slave Girl clean house on Avenger's Bridge. People wondered why the Orion's pheromones didn't drive everyone nuts, but I just think that in a Mirror Universe they've got a suppressor for shit like that. Sort of like Flonase.
Evil Leaper questions and taunts a handcuffed T'Pevil. She won't give anything up. Evil Leaper obnoxiously tosses T'Pevil's bangs in her eyes as he questions her. For that alone he needs to die. "It may take centuries but humanity will pay for its arrogance!" T'Pevil predicts. That there is pretty damn cool and a helluva lot more respect given to DS9 than any of the movies ever did. Have I mentioned? I'm in love with DS9. Can't get enough. It's a drug. And I'm only in Season 4! So much more to see.
This scene? The one where Phlevil removes fluorescent light bulbs? It's pointless. It's supposed to be the warp core, but it's totally and completely pointless. The story just doesn't really move at all with this scene. They could have condensed this and gained back some of the scenes they supposedly had to cut. It just seems like a total waste of time.
Over on Defiant, through his one good eye, Evil Trinneevil realizes that something is awry with his EPS manifolds. He investigates. Is it just me or did his melted face get less melty this episode? Maybe he's been using Curel Scar Therapy.
Back in the interrogation room, Evil Leaper wants his Uh-Ohs to take every member of the Avenger crew into custody. She-Ho wants T'Pevil killed. "You've been looking forward to that for awhile, haven't you?" Bakula tells Park. They start to kiss but the ship shakes.
Over on Avenger, Phlevil still plays with light bulbs.
Avenger attacks Defiant.
Just as Phlevil comms Soevil that he's done and ready to transport, Evil Trinneevil leaps on him and they fight. I think many of these fight scenes are the actors working out their frustrations with the showrunners, so when Evil Trinneevil yells, "What have you done?!" he's really talking to Bermaga.
Evil Trinneevil puts the warp core back together in the middle of the firefight.
On Defiant's bridge, May-Evil announces that their primary systems are back online, and the sweet-ass viewfinder rises up from the comm panel. Meanwhile, Evil Leaper, the CAPTAIN, the COMMANDER of the SHIP and the self-named EMPEROR, is sitting in his chair, fists pressed to eyes, rocking back and forth! He's ROCKING! Just like my three-year-old sister did when she was...THREE! What a freak. Even if Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Worf, and Sisko wanted to rock at various times, they NEVER rocked. NEVER in front of the crew. What a loser. Defiant raises their shields. Evil Trinneevil gets their weapons back online. Defiant starts to destroy Avenger. Lots of explosions. "They've taken heavy damage," She-Ho smiles. "They're trying to escape," May-Evil sneers. Evil Leaper sits high in his chair and smiles, "Photon torpedoes. Lock on to their reactor." Yeah, now that the battle is practically won for you, there's no need to rock any more, is there?
Over on the Defiant, Soevil gets in a Khannish moment when he yells as they are blown up...
...as Evil Leaper and She-Ho collapse (separately) onto the bed from, like, the ceiling? Can I know? What position were they in where first Evil Leaper lands face-up on the bed, and a few seconds later, She-Ho hurtles face-down on the bed. Seriously, it seems like they may have been off doing their own thing, if you know what I mean and I think you do, and then ran to meet in the middle when they were, you know, sated. Evil Leaper rolls onto She-Ho's back and tells her to erase the ship computer's historical database so no one else gets any revolutionary ideas. She-Ho doesn't say anything as she leans over the side of the bed to pick up an ICE PICK! Okay, no, she gets a glass of champagne and passes it over to Evil Leaper while assuring him that they will "lose all the data on [their] counterparts." She-Ho grabs her glass of champagne wonders if the rest of the fleet will support him. "They're loyal to the Emperor -- they don't really care who it is," Evil Leaper slurs. "By the time the fleet arrives, the reign of Emperor! Jonathan! Archer! will have already begun." He pours his half-drunk glass of champagne all over his face. Not to reign on your parade, but that's not really an imperial name. You might want to look into changing it.
She-Ho giggles as she carefully averts her face so as not to get any of his champagne in her mouth. Evil Leaper starts to pass out. Then he grunts and falls off the bed to the floor with the sheet still covering his nasty bits. She-Ho sort of checks on him before running to the door and letting in...May-Evil! May-Evil regards the crawling Evil Leaper impassively as She-Ho brings his face to hers and they mack. Evil Leaper furrows, stretches one arm out, and collapses. Good night, sweet prick. Wait, he's dead? Oh my god, he's DEAD! THEY KILLED HIM!! QUANTUM'S DEEEEEEAAAAAD! Aw, the writers do care! You know what that is? That's an automatic "A" right there.
She-Ho and May-Evil march onto the Bridge, and She-Ho orders a comm link opened to Gardiner. She orders Starfleet's immediate surrender or else they will begin targeting their cities. Gardiner blusters into view and wonders what the hell she's on about: "Where's Archer -- who the hell are you?" "You're speaking with EM-press Sato," She-Ho announces, "prepare to receive instructions." She smiles. Atta girl! I think what I loved most about this episode is that the forgotten, killed, ignored, and made invisible Hoshi and May-Whozzit finally get to trump everyone and come out on top. In spite of May-Whozzit's redshirt.
