=====
Today's diversion will be familiar to residents of the labyrinthine E-62 boards. Yes, it's that old standby... "Good Thing, Bad Thing"!
Procedure:
1) Watch today's episode, "Summer of Love."
2) Name a good thing about it.
3) Name a bad thing about it.-- Blinker --
GOOD THING: Those whizzes at the production company put their multimillion-dollar effects budget where their mouth is, and turn out some smeg-credible CGI and animatronic puppet-thingy Spiderwasp monsters.
BAD THING: Said whizzes then allow the rock Quinn throws at Arturo's *back* to magically switch vectors and strike him from *ahead*, proving that "Dinoslide" doesn't have a monopoly on physically impossible FX shots and "Exodus II" doesn't have a monopoly on scenes of Arturo receiving brain damage.
-- Synthia --
GOOD THING: We get to derive some amusement from the sight of Big Max in a ridiculous kaftan.
BAD THING: Forty minutes later, this gag's worn as thin as a Calista Flockhart voodoo doll made from pipe cleaners with all the furry bits stripped off.
Right. Knock yourselves out...
"Good Thing, Bad Thing" is brought to you by JessieMallory's patented Triple-A Battery. "Holds up to 16,000 Terra-watts!"™

Good thing: we get to see Bennish with as upstanding citizen.Bad Thing: We see Bennish as an upstanding citizen
Good Thing: We see what things can happen when you get your "true Love"

Good Thing: We know Arturo was a football fan (for future PTSS controversy)
Bad Thing: Us non-sports fans are stuck still wondering what the bloody hell a Wishbone is in football?!?

Good thing: Another great shot of the backside of the wormhole. This is the fx shot that I most miss from later seasons.Bad thing: The 29.7 year explanation that we were supposed to receive got cut due to FOX insisting on broadcasting 'Fever' as the follow-up to the Pilot rather than 'Summer of Love.'

Thang, Shake yo thang

From: TemporalFlux
Good Thang: This is probably the most dynamic ep of the entire series. The differences between worlds are so stark and vivid that even after 10 viewings, you are still finding details you missed.Shake Yo Thang: It should have been a two parter...there were just too many good thangs that got cut. Of course, that would likely mean the deletion of one of the other season one episode...which may be a worse thang.

Oh wait.. I ripped off too. Oh well.GT: Ms. Ezra Tweak, I don't know why, but I cracked up when I saw that scene.
BT: The oh so realistic (/sarcasm) wave.

'Somewhere in the Night' sung by Scott Bakula plays in the background as dellyone is laying in the bed, humming along with song.Good thing: Remmy finds out that his double is missing and presumed dead so he hooks up with Sharon's double.
Bad thing: I wanted to see the ending of the 'Pilot' again instead of the ending for 'Summer of Love'.
Now I need a hammer for all those screws. I have so many pictures to hang on the walls. Just because I was ranting like a lunatic because I wanted to see the Dominion and Chandler hotels on the backlot of Universal Studios Hollywood doesn't mean I'm crazy. I couldn't find it. Geez, then I asked some employess if a hula hoop could be suspended 20 feet below the clock tower made famous from the 'Back to the Future' movies. I have a Motorola flip phone that I more or less converted into a working timer. You know you set it and forget it! I was going jump down after I turned on my timer. There was no way I was going to get hurt since I know that my timer would open up a vortex from that hula hoop. Hey, someone get in here and untie me. I'm late for my slide. Hello!!!! Hey someone switch to 'Imagine' or 'Man from LaMancha' or 'Alphabet Rap' or that 14 minute 'Suite from Lee Harvey Oswald'. You know there are other songs on that CD. Play the interview part too. Hello!!!!

GoodQuinn: "Hey, this world actually has an alternate history. Go figure!"BadQuinn: "Heehee, the Professor's so funny when he frustratedly bats away a mime. I'm glad I'm not worried about Remmy or Wade!"
GoodArturo: "Watch me spit out some pseudo-scientific banter about the Helix spiral while you can, because I'll be comic relief come Season Three, what with me having a life-threatening disease and all."
BadArturo: "I think I'm justified in wagering the safety of our stay on this world on whether or not I look young enough to be Quinn's brother."
GoodWade: "Watch me spit out pseudo-new age banter about not fighting a war in Australia while you can, because I'll be a boring-as-milktoast one-note character come season three, what with me being prepped to spend the rest of my life in an alien rape camp and all."
BadWade: "Who cares whether I slide or not? What I really need to do is spew a cliched 'Beatles' quote to a bunch of adoring, freaky yahoos!"
GoodRembrandt: "All those people who thought I was dumb in 'The Pilot' take note: I know both that Pete Wilson is the Governor of California on our world and that Ollie North ISN'T the President!!"
BadRembrandt: (Voice of DP): "Hey, I was in the Navy AND I can't swim! Now that's continuity! Go with it!"

Good Thing: The opening scene with Bennish and the FBI was classic. It
let us know that the Sldiers disappearance wasn't just being felt by their
families, but by the government as well.
Bad Thing: Simply put, Arturo in a bandana.
