I feel sorry for them.

Yeah, they are pretty pathetic. Most of the time, they just act as the warm up act for Genm and then hang back. This is probably why we haven't seen many new ones - why bother, they get hardly any screentime; put the money into CGI fx.

Agreed. This was why I voted "Good", rather than "Excellent".

Because he got the surgery six years ago?

So dumb. Soooo psyched!
