Now the details
We normally don't get the title or plot till Tuesday, and this one was a rather 'close to the vest' title and program description.
Title: Pinewood Derby Summary: (the jist) Randy goes the last mile in helping Stan build a Pinewood race car so Stan could win.
OK, he does help Stan with a super magnet thingy and there's some banter between the Marshs and the family who always wins. However, this barely lasts five minutes into the show. The rest of the show deals with Stan's warp drive car attracting a 'supposed' criminal space alien to earth followed by the space cops. A good concept, but with flaws.
Didn't they suspect something when a pinewood race car crashes through the wall? Wouldn't the car have smashed rather than plow through?
I'll skip to the big one: Why did anyone think "Space Bucks" were worth anything? Seriously, the only value these bucks would have is if they took the spaceship somewhere where this stuff passes as currency.
Rather than play out the lame storyline where they keep so-called cash in a gangsta thug don't squeal don't spend it or the cops will catch on lameness they should have turned it in and gotten a reward worth something on Earth. Lame, weak!
Good news: They get to keep the spaceship Bad news: They can't travel anywhere F it news: I'm sure the spaceship is faster than traveling by jet, or IT.
In the end, does this mean earth is protected from killer asteroids?
P.S.: Dead on depictions of Putin, Sarkozi and Merkel. I didn't see Obama though.
That's enough from me.
