* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Say what you will about the third season, but some of its lessons were actually valuable. The episode "Unpopular Mechanics" had the moral that technological skill is only good when used constructively and the very loose adaptation of the comic story "Drawn and Quartered" explained how revenge against your enemies is never worth it.
