1x08 Buzzkill

Notes

Kid Reagan: "Hey, Dad, I did an experiment. By carefully exposing my turtles to select doses of radiation, I've begun transforming them into a radical, tubular crime-fighting team. Like on TV!"
Rand: "Sweetie, that is so inventive and the cutest little experiment ever."
Reagan: "Are you proud of me?"
Rand: "Ha! Are you kidding? You just gave those turtles cancer!"

• Omg, she made TMNT

Rand: [Cocks gun.] "Okay, kid, let's go put down your turtles together."

• OMG, RAND

Brett: [Tries to make Reagan smile.] "Oh! What have I got here?!" [Laughs nervously.] "Oh God, it's not working."

Narrator: "Kubrick was hired to fake the return trip, and the moon was privately declared a hostile nation."

• Kubrick :O

J.R.: "I repeat, you could die."
Reagan: "I'm already dead inside!"

• All those dead corporate satellites, lol
• Wait, Reddit and Twitter?
• Omg, Rasta Garfield?

Reagan: "Yeah, we've seen the sex cult, Buzz, and we are not... ...impressed."

• Omg, impressive

Buzz: "Just stay away from the dark side. That's where the moon nazis are,"

• Omg, Moontopia, wow

Reagan: "Have you tried shooting them? It works for Earth Nazis."
Buzz: "It looks like they sent just the right person to help!"
Reagan: "Oh, thanks. I'm not used to people noticing or appreciating my work in any shape or form."

• Wtf, Buzz and Reagan?

Brett: "I would do the exact same thing."
Brett & Reagan: "Daddy issues, yay-yeah!"

• Daddy issues what?

Buzz: "You remind me of myself but female and younger."

• Reagan's smile :D

Rand: "Aren't you gonna tell me that I'm a deadbeat asshole who makes Alec Baldwin look reasonable?"
Brett: "Well, you're the genius, so... ... how many wires do you need?"

• Ay, Brett!

• Fallon's a sleeper agent?

• Why couldn't Reagan just have a positive role model? I'm disappointed

Glenn: "Sweet Michael Bay!"

• Omg, Brett killed that guy

Brett: "Welcome to Earth... on the moon."

• Honestly, Gravity Falls did this better
• Yo, Reagan is actually Buzz's daughter? Damn
• They just retconned themselves. Wtf

[The more you know meme template.] "Don't Sue Us Buzz Aldrin"

Review
In this episode, the writers want to have their cake and eat it too. Like, did Buzz really need to be a twist villain? It would've been nice if Reagan could've had another father who is a good role model. But no, we gotta give sympathy to the terrible father (Rand) and make him the real father after we confirmed Buzz was. Like, they had the whole scene where Reagan says Rand was more of a father to her, but then they reveal he was the biological father anyway. Ugh, so disappointing.
