That's a stretch.

If you are trying to say that PhD's aren't doctors, then you would be wrong.

No, I'm saying it is a stretch to refer to them as a "doctor" in any sense other than as a formal academic title.

Regardless, it's a title. Thus, horny doc.

this thread is tl;dr so quick question:

Is this show good or not?

Don't consider myself to be anything I am not, but we've hijacked this thread enough with this nonsense, back to the discussion of horny doc et al.

Here we go....

The dialog continues to be horrific.

"aw, you trying to make me blush?"

No, but I was blushing at embarrassment for the actor saying the line and the idiot producer for paying someone to write it.

"Everyone has their reasons"

Possible a deflection not wanting to tell Future Cop why they wanted to kill him but pretty obvious deflection which would have actually led to another question.

So the 3 trained soldiers were easily killed by a few of those bats but nobody else at camp was killed by MILLIONS. Ok.

Haven't they been there for years? They seem to have ZERO protocol for dealing with any situation.

Like for INSTANCE at least one person must remain in the SHITTY TANK at all times. There are only like a billion dinosaurs of various sizes and some that fly yet these bozos continue to walk around with their shitty stun guns.

How about when you hear freaking dinosaurs screeching, you get your arse back into the SHITTY TANK and at least get killed in there. Oh wait, they did have one guy that stayed in the SHITTY TANK and yup, he died because he couldn't close the freaking door.

Horny Doc is probably going to play the EVILLLL Doc out for his own skin and best interests ( Gaius Balthazar he is not) but so far he is just barely irritating. On the Hitler Scale (Are you ready for some football?) he only ranks 1 out of 10 Heils.

Really alert guards. They were attacked at night by winged creatures and suddenly Elventy Billion winged creatures are hanging out on the EVEN SHITTIER THAN THE TANK, FENCE OF NON BLOCKING and yet the guards are too busy watching reruns of Mama's Family on their IPOD Infinity Plus to notice 10,000 bats.

Once again, those damn bats destroyed 3 highly trained soldiers then did relatively little harm to anyone else.

I can see how they writers sold this episode as being Pitch Black with dinosaurs but the execution blew. They need far more redshirts getting killed. Heck, since they still get people through the wormhole thingamabob, they have an endless supply of reshirts to kill, so they need to make the place even more deadly, but they need to be consistent.

The failed with the cheesecake. I am not attracted to any of the female characters so the casting agent needs to be fired immediately. Not that any of them are unattractive although Soldier Chick is nowhere near as pleasant to oggle as big tits soldier chick. Shout out to Archie and the SGU crowd.

This episode reminded me more of the annoying bees episode from Lost.

Thinking of the bees episode from lost made me think of The Savage Bees and the ridiculous plot to freeze the bees in the SuperDome.





The whole pheromone idea was hogwash. Maybe if they were insects and they killed the queen first then used the pheromones, but the female bats would be emitting pheromones and since there were millions of them, they wouldn't have budged an inch from their current spot.

If I was that daughter chick I would dump her aspirations for Wimpy Soldier Guy because he was knocked out cold by one wimpy bat. Maybe he should be dubbed Wimpy Bat Boy.

This episode could have been decent with just a little more consistency. They needed to make the Bats way more dangerous by having them kill more people and they needed a few more buckets of bloods.

I really am beginning to think that PETA has a mole on the writing staff because the wimpy sonic weapon crap is really starting to piss me off. Or I should say piss me off more.

The perfect line would have been, "So what is the protocol for dealing with these things?"

"Shotguns"

That was my biggest gripe with the episode really.

And good call on them seeing the flying, bat-like creatures chilling on the walls of the compound, and not immediately connecting them to the attacks from flying, bat-like creatures from the NIGHT BEFORE.

As soon as they saw those frickers, they should've known what was up.

I wanted to see the husband/cop grab one by the tail and smash it against the nearest pole. I would have made a pile of them.

they should probably all be dead no different than the total destruction of the Aztecs by the diseases brought over by the Spaniards.

But, those were human diseases. Since there are no(or very few and very small) mammals isn't it believable that there simply are no microbes that can infect a human? It is for this dumbass.

I thought thats why they had to drink those shakes.

So they have miracle shakes that can inoculate you for unknown diseases from 85 million years ago, but they can't shot a bat?

Or build a wall without bear sized holes in it?

Or come up with some form of protocol for certain situations to keep all those red shirts from dying?

Or find any attractive females in 2149?
