Maybe they didn’t exactly mean to tackle all these, just mention or include them all. Somewhere buried within the good intentions that made up this episode is some kind of convoluted attempt to tackle issues of entertainment and violence, civilization and instinct, fantasy and reality, and the feminine response to unrealistic male sexual objectification which includes self-glorification as well as objectification. Then why do I hate this episode? Because I do hate it. It also brings back sci-fi writer William Gibson and novelist Tom Maddox who brought us Season 5’s “ Kill Switch” (5×11), one of my all-time favorite episodes. After all, it brought back the Lone Gunmen and I’ve missed these guys. I remember having my hopes up for this one back in the day, though. We passed the halfway point of the season a couple of episodes back and yet I’ve experienced very few twitches and tingles.
