Generator Rex

[perhapsormaybe]

I hope he shows up at White Knight's, breaks in, and punches him in the face.

...What? I really don't like that guy.

[Lady Lasa]

I second that.

[dragonelf]

Third-ed, thriced, or whatever you use when a third person is in agreement. It would be good to see Knight get punished in some way.

Umm maybe its because I started reading comics in the darkages when superman was dead and venom had a series, but Rex wanting Six Holiday and BoBo to have a famliy dinner every week was just disturbing.


I know this isn't some dark twisted Evangelion type show, and I know it never will be. My reflex reaction was just to assume the worst.

I need to cheer up.

[perhapsormaybe]

I thought it was actually very sweet. Rex's missing memories make it likely that he really longs for some semblance of a typical family life, and the fact that Bobo cooked made me laugh.

Bobo giving up information on Rex's whereabouts for a pizza made me laugh... And I agree that the family dinner was sweet.

Now I'm just wondering if the computer program will ever return. After all, they did say it got away...

Yea I think my long unemployment has made my out look a bit darker. Time to go spoil my brothers kids for a few hours. That always makes me feel better.

Bonus points to this episode as now I finally have the true plot for "Disillusioned" worked out (...yeah, I should probably figure plots out *before* I start writing, but where's the fun in it if you know exactly how the story's gonna go?)

Rewatched this one this morning and I really do feel it's one of the best episodes so far. Still amused by Bobo cooking.

[dragonelf]

You're not the only one who doesn't work out the entire plot before writing the story. In a Zelda fanfiction I wrote, I ended up adding twists that I had never imagined when I first started. Still, it's fun to just go ahead.

[Phoenix_Wings]

psh, planning out a plot is overrated.

I can't decide which I laughed harder over--Bobo cooking (and then throwing a fit) or Six's expression (can you really call it that?) when he asked about having do do this every week.

And jeeze, the way Rex was inhaling that meatloaf and potatoes? I thought he was going to choke, doesn't Providence feed him?

[datdude]

I'm thinking he eats whatever is being served in the mess for the troops, or they have him on > gags < hospital food.

On a side note as a walking Irish American stereotype I can eat Meatloaf and mashed potatoes until I pass out so nothing abnormal for Rex.

[perhapsormaybe]

Not a big fan of meatloaf. Potatoes on the other hand...

Rex would make a very good big brother, judging by how he acted with Caleb. Their interaction was very sweet.

[Lady Lasa]

You've obviously never had my meatloaf, Mel. It's Epic.

But, yeah, I'm guessing that the average teenage metabolism combined with a deviation from whatever mess they usually serve there would account for his inhalation of meatloaf.

[perhapsormaybe]

From my understanding army food is quite terrible, and I imagine Providence's food would be most similar to this.

[dragonelf]

Rex has creepy dreams loaded with interesting tidbits. I suppose fans will be going crazy over trying to piece together his past from this episode.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode.
