This episode belongs squarely in the former category.

It might be the best episode the show has done.

Valdak escapes his exploding ship to a nearby planet, but theres no time to chase him right now.

Instead, Robert Daley has to go to work at his job in real life.

But he isnt interested in her real self.

Thats right not only are theU.S.S.

Coles real mind does not react well to suddenly waking up inside theCallister.

(Recap continues on page 2)

Incredibly, U.S.S.

Callister just gets better as it goes along.

The worst thing hes done, apparently, was to clone Waltons real-life son Tommy into the game.

Simpsons monologue recounting this event, and how much it utterly broke him, is a great performance.

When Daley pauses the game to go get his pizza delivery, they all exchange conversation.

Enjoyment is fairly limited in this video-game world, however.

As Walton demonstrates, the video-game characters have no genitals, just senseless flesh mounds.

She hatches an escape plan.

As he does so, he makes radio contact with Daley.

Based on Daleys reactions, you get the sense that this is all he ever wanted.

The resulting blast incinerates Walton, powers theCallisterthrough the wormhole, and leaves Daley spinning in space.
