And for those who are wondering...."grok", from Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, is the Martian verb for "thoroughly understand"

Let's see..... Do not *SNIP* navigate the slipstream while under the influence of this beverage......wait.....I think this may shed some light on the tenor of conversation in General Discussion ....OK, lay off the Sparky-cola everyone!

Actually to me this quote sums up the episode.

Too much of a good thing----EVEN Harper is too much.

I mean look at it. 2/3 of the freakin' thing is the testosterone flyin' between Harper and ratface....which leaves the BEST things about the ep (the casino scene, Beka, Trance and the SHOULD HAVE BEEN Dylan angst) in the freakin' cold.

Moral?

Keep that Sparky Cola away baby if it means more imbalanced stuff like *this* episode....

When Rommie was cleaning up Harper's work-shop there were Sparky-cola cans everywhere. So apparently Harper doesn't just operate machinery under the influence of Sparky, he BUILDS machinery.

Insane genius + mind altering drink = "Harper, you little psycho!" type brilliance
