I was going to say something about a wrist of habeus corpus, but it just seemed like working too hard for the pun.
I guess it's a washout then.
Looks like Mac could use one.
[This is, btw, the Whirlwind's all-time favorite episode. She asks for it again and again, because it is so satisfying to see the little girl Helping Her Friend and Getting Safely Out of the Well! It's not about Mac, it's about Girlpower. I'm enjoying her innocence while it lasts!]
Fortunately, the rest of the corpus is still attached to the wrist.
I found the cheese level in this one almost unbearable (even though the Amish do make excellent cheese of the literal dairy sort). I did like the Radical Notion of having the Head Developer Guy be a reasonable, sympathetic character. And it's a fine showpiece for whumped!Mac and dirty!Mac.
This one is unspeakably cheesy, but I love it for one exchange alone:
Amish Woman: Do you remember what happened?
Mac: I died, and went to Thanksgiving. [delivered marvelously by RDA who has played enough hockey to know just how it sounds after someone has had their bell rung but good]
It's one of my favorite lines in the entire series.
Absolutely! That one line alone makes up for much. It goes in the same Script Trophy Case as 'lateral-cranial impact enhancer' (which also wouldn't have gone nearly as far without the utterly perfect delivery).
