I thought it was cute. There were so many subtle and unsublte references that I spent most of my time looking for them. The plot was ehhh. My favorite part was the 'do you smell that' bit because that's something I do quite a lot.

We got to see how hard John is working to stick to the new regulations concerning telepaths in this one. I love the back and forth between him and Gideon.

This one added nothing to the search story arc but it was a bit of fun, I suppose.
