Murtz: Oh yeah! The Band is back together!
Romo: What are the odds my computer crashed the day of the EMP episode? Yes my computer did crash. If you can tell when it happened email me and you win a prize.
Final Comments:
Murtz: The pulse bomb has many effects tonight. The parallels to inside pulse is quite clear. But who knew they would hit the city that houses Chris Bosh! Romo’s computer crashed, I crashed but the show certainly didn’t. *solemn* almeida son. From this point on please refer to me as Murwan(Murtz) Barnes.
Rob: All I would like to say is that after that ending we should all open a tall frosty one for Almeida. Because after that ending he needs one.
Romo: I liked it when Jack head-butted that dude. The EMP thing seems a little cheesy and stolen from other movies/TV shows but whatever. I hope Almeida throws it to Michelle in the bathroom on a break. After he gives it to her he should tell her that is what she has been missing all this time.
