Julia's working the equipment..turning knobs..squinting eyes..looking out just past the cue cards..trying to keep up with the sound effects..turning more knobs..standing there (still squinting eyes) ..that cracked me up
Me, too! And don't forget the switch-on, switch-off stuff.
You'd think the writers could have concocted a little technical theory into their storyline beyond merely "transferring" the life force. Someone could have made up something about what those knobs are supposed to do ... or what the the oscilloscope readings mean (they could have hired my seventh grade science teacher as a consultant).
It was as if all the direction Julia and any other "scientists" on the show got was to turn the knobs intently. And when in doubt, turn those knobs even more intently. Turn this knob and that knob. And this knob again. Squint. Switch-on, switch-off. Frown.
It all looks so random to me.
How fun.
