There Are No More Words - God I hate the voice-over. I'll paraphrase: An ordinary man falls to his death, and the brain goes here in this new guy, see? Ordinary man lives on in hunky bod of "twenty-six-year-old" (BA HA HA HA HA!!) Artificial Guy,...RECAPS, WEECAPS, AND MORE

Reading is Fundamental. Or, This Show is Purely MentalThere Are No More Words - Remember who shot JR? Well, it doesn't matter who did. Remember why? Because IT WAS ALL A DREAM. In this episode, Dr. Morris is responsible for nanobots that eat ink, thus destroying all books...and later, paper money. The world changes. Until he wakes up. The moral? READING, even reading the back of a sack of flour, is better than watching this crap! That's why recaps are good! |

Doctors Playing God and FishcakesLizzard's Tale - Is it ethical for doctors to sell organs to the highest bidder? Does a dog's lips move when he reads? Is this episode ripped off from urban legend? Yes. Does that make it quirky? No. Was I grossed out and repulsed? Were you? |
