** "Gentlemen, I am attempting to arbitrate a tribunal, not break up a catfight outside GAY in the wee hours of the morning."

*** To start with, the Doctor had ''already'' wrecked his mind control machine. The advance listings for the show were... too big a clue to ignore. Beep loses what little composure he has when he realizes he's been supervising and editing months of brainless GlurgeAddict television for nothing.
