Carl's eye

edit

In the first paragraph, can "who has recovered from his eye injury" be replaced with something like, "who is on his feet and doing physical therapy for the loss of his right eye"? To say that Carl has recovered from his eye injury suggests that he has regained function of that eye, which clearly isn't the case. Carl's eye wasn't simply injured, the organ suffered massive trauma and was destroyed. The physical therapy, or "P.T." in the episode was Carl bouncing a ball and catching it, an exercise to train his reflexes for monofocal vision. (I tried changing this but my edit was undone.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.71.188.35 (talk) 18:53, 8 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Humor

edit

I made some additions to the article today and I feel the one on Humor (theme) still needs a lot of work. I thought that humor in the episode was significant enough to deserve some write-up, it's practically a checklist of comedic forms — wordplay, slapstick, sarcasm, irony, farce, surrealism, mock epic, etc. — and it certainly sets this episode apart from the rest of the season (and series), giving viewers a chance to catch their breath from the tensions of the season's first and second halves. But I've been finding it difficult to locate and source comedic analysis. If anyone can help with that or has an idea to improve the section, by all means, go for it.Reidgreg (talk) 15:22, 4 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
