Episode Report Cards

Cabin Pressure

Overall grade A+
Lot of misdirection going on here. The remarks in the teaser about the Snippy Captain’s social life plant just the seed of doubt that makes you think he’s going to kill himself and everyone else. I didn’t believe it, but my father was convinced of it. Ha-HA! Nicely done. The special effects were great, everything rang true, and a very tired premise (commercial airplane drama) was given new life! High marks!
I just wanna know one thing since I’ve never flown First Class ... they give out cookies in first class???????
>:-#!!!!! You people who can afford First Class SUCK!!! >:-#

Johnny A+
You were very strong. You had to convince not one but two skeptics! By the end you had them eating out of your hand. I especially loved your “I’m not gonna need them” comeback to the offer of free miles. LOL! That and a lot of other things reminded me of Linda Hamilton trying to convince everyone in “Terminator 2.” Cold conviction gets ‘em every time!

Purdy A+
Way to go! First getting the CEO of this hideous airline company to call the Snippy Captain. LOL! I love the look on his face when he gave you the hairy eyeball. ROTF Then you saved Nicole! Good man! (It is so awesome that this actor I’ve loved for many years, DOS, is on my favorite show!)

Snippy Captain D
This would be an “F” but you did come around at the end. Of course, if you weren’t such a butt monkey then Doubting Marshall hauling your tail out of the cockpit at gunpoint wouldn’t have been SO delish!

Nicole A
Awwwwww. You crying towards the end really sold the tragedy that needed to be diverted. I hope the wedding goes okay! Oh, and TAKE YOUR SEAT sooner next time!

Doubting Marshall D
Next time don’t take so long to come around! What more did Johnny have to tell you to make you believe him??? My DOG was convinced halfway through his pitch!

Sleepy A
I’m pretty sure this was a nod to Stephen King’s “The Langoliers” in which this one passenger sleeps through the entire adventure. Looks like that Prozac’s working wonders, buddy!

Starboard Engine F
The Port Engine wanted me to give you a message: “You SUCK!!!!” You made him do all the work because YOU wanted to slack today! He didn’t have a problem doing max power to save your sorry exhaust vent, did you wake up with a headache or something? BOO >:-#-ing HOO.

Plane Mechanics F-
The “ice on the plane” indicator was broken, the frozen flap light didn’t flash, the oil intake thingy that would have warned about the engine exploding didn’t show up, and full diagnostic (Which I assuming uses extra sensors) failed to reveal any of these problems. Weren’t you morons striking for more money just last year????

Happy Milk Carton Faces of the Week:
Sarah, and Li’l Johnny. WOO HOO!! Buh bye! Don’t show up again next week!! (Did the actor playing Li’l Johnny demand more money or something???)

Sad Milk Carton Faces of the Week:
Bruce, Dana (hey! She’s growing on me!), and Walt.

Moral of the Ep:
“You can tell a skeptic their entire life story right down to their original hair color and sometimes they’ll still handcuff you!”
