I really enjoyed this one. Maybe it's just me, but I thought the last one, "War of the Insects", was a bit "thin". However, I was smiling throughout this one, when I wasn't laughing out loud.

Maybe it's the incessant "70's-ness". If you weren't sure what decade it was made in, you could probably tell from the extreme 70's way it treats women, for instance ;-)

Here's a couple of lines I enjoyed (I could cite many more!):

"Have no fear. Bland, affable, 70's guy is here!" -Trace
"Nice expositioning with you!" -Joel

Note: Beware of getting too fond of any of the characters, like those kids at the beginning, or that other guy*, or that partly-nude woman (see, it IS the 70's!), or those other guys.

*Spoiler: He's not *actually* killed by a snake.
P.S. I'm hoping that toupee went on to a long career in 70's movies!

I'm looking forward to getting it. I was sadly out of the
country, happily on my honeymoon, the day they premiered this episode
in Ann Arbor. If we'd honeymooned a different week we could have made
it, but, ah, well.

Instead, though, I spent that day trying to find Utrecht's
Grocery Shop Museum (I failed), *did* find the Speelklok Museum of
music boxes, band organs, and other automata --- which is among the
coolest places you will ever find; and on Friday got to the Utrecht
Railway Museum. The Railway Museum's motto is ``You Will Believe'',
implying that Dutch children are stubbornly skeptical of the
existence of railroads, considering they have rather good inter-city
rail service.

You honeymooned in Utrecht? Good idea! I lived near there and spent a
lot of time there. Nice place, isn't it? Did you go on a tour of all
the little museums? In the Netherlands there's a museum for
*everything*. Good reason to be skeptical of Dutch trains:
they're...*yellow.*

Tot ziens,
Judith
