"Claptrap?" "Woo-flinging?" Man, this seriously has to be one of the best reviews I've seen, just for fantastic English usage. If "shenanigans," "rigamarole" or "tomfoolery" had been used, it'd be the best review ever.
By the way, I'm pretty sure that I'll never watch this show. Thanks for saving me the cash, Zac.

Zac, your "mad skillz" at writing never cease to humor me. Only you can encourage or discourage me from buying a product simply by your reviews alone. I was actually interested in watching this, since it almost sounds like My Girlfriend, The Ultimate Weapon, which happened to be very good. Also anything by Studio Gonzo gets my praise for their big hit titles and awesome CG animation. I was surprised that this one wasn't all that cut out to be. It's a shame to hear that the dub and music on this title was superb, yet the story is one big flop. Oh well, thanks for saving me the trouble.

At least it says "I wish you WERE here." As many around here know, that's one of my little errors I go around nitpicking.

Wait. So Laurence Fishburne was in Pilot Candidate?

Wait are you talking about this review? That was three years ago, and as for too lenient I mean Zac did give the show D+ grade for both sub and dub....so I am not sure why your mad.
