i didn't say every episode focused on it, only those after the show came back on air as a mid-season replacement for some other failed fox sitcom.

the robot devil episode = crossroads.

the more i think about it the worse that last half season on tv seems. what made the show great for me was the way the writers were able to take legitimate metaphysical concepts and present them in a hilarious and entertaining way that just about anyone could grasp (and talk about a unique angle for a tv show). the whole relationship angle (like every other single tv show ever) always seemed tacked on to appeal to a wider target demographic.

the movies seem to have freed the writers to go back to focusing on the theoretical science that gave the show it's unique qualities in the first place. i'd hate to see them have to reel it back in so they can write some more fluffy relationship crap so it scores higher with tv test audiences.
