Great episode, guys. Good to get back into the normal groove of things after #200. Looking forward to the continuation of everything you’ve got going and of course, those Disney World story times of Ben’s!
But please stick with your current tagline, “Theology at warp speed.” It’s a lot of fun. Even though it’s a Star Trek reference, and you guys aren’t exactly wearing plastic Spock ears when you record.
Today’s story time was hysterical. When Ben began it, I was wondering if it was going to have anything to do with Ben’s couple of comment-whoppers in reply to the conman’s comment on The Abominable video review. Sure enough, it did! And Ben even read his own comments on the air, haha! 🙂
Bring on #204.
Yes, Matt, what you saw was the M*A*S*H finale, but you have to watch the whole thing in the context of the series, and you simply cannot judge it on that one (admittedly disturbing -it is meant to be) moment. You have to see it as an adult, with a knowledge of the characters, especially as they progress during the last season or so. Yeah, it’s a half-hour sitcom, but it became increasingly serious and mature as it lasted (11 seasons); and the two-hour finale is justly considered an American TV landmark. I haven’t seen Breaking Bad, but I would venture to guess only time will tell how its finale stacks up in the “great finale” ranks.
