Far from too soon, we rendezvous with Stray, in following Frank's happenstance ramblings among the rebels of northern Mexico. Similarly, across the sea, we catch up with Reef, who runs into Ruperta, and each scene lays our hosts ready for such lovely conversation about the characters and lush surroundings... What more could you want?

After these last few episodes, it's starting to feel like these guys are the ones with their heads full of gas! At least this time they made it through more than the one chapter, but, crud, The Slow and the Stupefied is on later, might have to cut it off if they spend too much longer on this 'historical context'. Fewer mathematicians, more jelly doughnuts, puh-leeze! Why do I bother even complaining at this point...
