162 The Long Game

Watched 8-Jun

Still on the scaled up BluRays

This one is not well regarded but this rewatch was less of a chore than I expected.

The major theme is manipulation of mass media affecting social and political conditions and thus historical progress seems a lot less naive than it did 15 years ago. (Why is kinda obvious if you watch the news in 2020 I guess.)

This fives an impression of being slower and low stakes. The identity of the baddie is obvious and telegraphed. The resolution is straightforward deux ex machina. The frozen sick joke and the snap fingers->head port thing is what remains memorable about this ep.

A step back.
