Of Swords and Parasols

Ep 4

Much grandstanding by the mummy man...and much grandstanding by the mummy man. Plus Dorothy communing even more with megadeuses. Dastan’s line about why there had to be even more of them amused me greatly. I begin to see, though, why s2 is regarded as a bit odd. And then some.

Ep 5

Roger tied the piano shut so Dorothy couldn’t wake him up by playing it anymore. Not, mind you, that she doesn’t end up having her way. In this episode, Roger is kidnapped. By Beck, who now has an afro. Dorothy and Norman, of course, do not tolerate this. Dorothy being the one to communicate with the kidnappers, though, seems to give poor Dastan a stroke. Meanwhile, Roger is tormented by a robot copy of himself while he waits for Dorothy to rescue him. Which she only does after declaring her love again. I think she wanted to see if she could give him a stroke. They then have a "romantic" moment while Beck is stuck to his own magnet. Plus, Power Rangers style megadeus.

Ep 6

ANDROID INSPECTOR! Always fun. Even if it does seem sure to inspire another stroke in Dastan. Also, serial killer targeting androids. Of course, Dorothy saves herself from him. Because she’s Dorothy. And I notice Roger was more upset about police headquarters being attacked than Dastan. Because his Dorothy and his Norman were there.

Ep 7

So many, many tomato and barcode flashbacks. Roger, are we about to have another identity crisis at an equally inappropriate time? Also, when even the femme fatale trying to get in a man’s pants calls him on his apparent Thing for his android, a man should take notice.
