Now imagine him playing all the lame, hackneyed "funny" tropes about robots (like being attracted to a piece of furniture -- LULZ!). Now imagine the Alphans chuckling along like Brian is endearing, until he turns murderous of course. But even after he goes lethal, he still manages to remain every bit as annoying.<br /><br />The only way to watch this one might be with the sound off, perhaps with the "Ed Wood" audio track playing in its place.

An over-the=top guest-star, or a guestless threat like the judgy trees from the previous reviewed episode?Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-12117773213441046882015-02-02T09:16:21.643-04:002015-02-02T09:16:21.643-04:00All I can say is, thank God we're done with &q...All I can say is, thank God we're done with "funny" / menacing visiting characters for a long long time.
