    1. I think this sums up my complaints about the new episode: "Pete, you gotta explain to me how you saw this fight" gets 6 camera cuts, a quick zoom-in shot of a hand, and shaky cam close-up. Nauseating to watch this editing.
    2. After finally watching Bounty Hunters, I am starting to see a pattern.
    3. The twins are named Unit 1 and Unit two, but i wanna hear what YOU guys would name them
