[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 1316035, member: 259"] [b]Henry[/b], the chopstick scene had funny potential, I thought, but it should've been underplayed. Instead, the joke was made, and then the camera sat there focusing on it while the voiceover said, "Get it? Get it?! They're [b]fighting with chopsticks![/b] See, it's funny because chopsticks aren't really weapons, but they're fighting with them anyway! Laugh, curse you, laugh!" Same thing with the handedness: I got the joke as soon as she said, "Bitten on the RIGHT?" and it could've been completed with a quick one-liner: "But I'm a left-biter!" Instead, they needlessly complicated the issue by calling her a right-biter and then had her explain the concept, [b]multiple times[/b]. That's sort of how I felt about the whole episode: the parts that could have been funny or clever were so overdone that I just ended up wincing instead. Funny episodes are good. I adored Numero Cinco and El Diablo Robotico. This one just really, really didn't do it for me. Daniel [/QUOTE]
