Awesome episode. Less jokes than in previous episodes but it was bloody excellent in a different way. Oh yes, and the V over I is resistance? Very good guys. Very good indeed.
But why on Earth is everyone sitting around wondering how Lund and Shanks will come back from the dead? Let me set this out for you: main characters have long dialogue with seemingly insane character who gives a big description on the psycholgical and mechanical functionings of the universe, but then lets them leave all too easily? They then arrive almost exactly where they need to be in a situation that seems slightly unreal, including a lift ride where they twitch and shiver as time seems to melt around them before dying incredibly abruptly?
No, that couldn't be a big mind fuck at all.
