Epic One Liner of the Week: “Every question I answer will lead to another question.” – Mother
That is what we call CYA in the land of cubicles and business casual.
Lost My Mind Just a Couple of Times: 1) I guess I can understand why they do this (so viewers can infer they are speaking another language without having to read subtitles for the whole episode), but at the beginning of the show the two “mothers” switched from speaking Latin to English mid-conversation as though nothing happened. 2) Would it be too much to ask to declare a moratorium on new characters? There’s two episodes left; do we really need an episode dedicated to Allison Janney? That entire show could have been captured in a ten minute flashback. 3) Does MIB weigh as much as a balloon? Odd how a creek containing about two feet of water and minimal current carried him swiftly down into the mysterious light.
Overall: The jury is mixed on this one, but I think this episode ranks up there with Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull in terms of ridiculous crap that should have been scrapped at the rewrite table. I just hope the producers got this turd out of their system in time to redeem themselves in the final two shows. That episode belonged in Season Three. MULLIGAN.
Discussion Points: 1) Will this stinky brown note derail the whole sonata? 2) Will the origin of Allison Janney’s character have any significance going forward or will that simply be overlooked? 3) What happens with MIB after his death? Will he be reborn or was he reduced to inhabiting other people’s bodies from the moment he died onward? 4) How angry are you on a scale of one to ten?
