    It's supposed to be different! I love how it's going!

    So, far this season has the best start and the second best start. It's all about the Summer Of Love. One thing that's supposed to happen since this season is supposed to be more different compared to the first two.

    Better than the first episode

    Whilst the first episode was slow and not as interesting as it could be, this was a better episode, still room for more sci fi and introduction to antagonists, monsters etc

    A good start to the series

    Plot developing further than the first episode. Characters are feeling more like first two seasons. Mystery continues. Over all a good episode

    Poor rats, but...

    Of course Mr. Clarke is a Weird Al fan! I'm so happy with this season so far. The '80s pop reference are so spot on. I love it!

      Steve and Dustin are trying to translate the Russian on the tape recorder. When Robin comes in, Steve is throwing a banana peel on the table, because he is finished with it. In the next shot, he is again eating a banana.
