 "I laughed so damn hard... takes things that are ridiculous and just lets them be their own sort of ridiculous, with hardly any inflating required at all." |

 "...curiously blah... suffers from a bad case of fan-fiction-itis, or the itch to tell the audience things we never realized until right now that we never really needed to know." |

 "...there is despair here, but also a tiny bit of hope. Our priorities have been wrong and we need to rethink our civilization... the work is only just beginning." |
