I mean, Peter was romancing some Irish barmaid and was the most gullible person on Earth, Hiro was in the past for like 3/4ths of the season, and then there was that interminable Sylar/Wonder Twins roadtrip…and I don’t even remember what my character was supposed to be doing, and I did the acting! So yeah, maybe these Season 3 episodes aren’t great, but at least they’re not sucking as hard.”

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
