So here is the missing Gregory – obviously also still alive, and in no worse condition than the others. Well, save for being rather severely surprised at suddenly finding himself in the spotlight – a place he’s been in so rarely before, he really isn’t at all used to it.

Which is a worse condition than Mopey and Biff are in, but still slightly better than Snuka’s condition – but Biff is so kind as to assure us that Snuka is neither dead nor dying, so by the standards applicable to him that’s a pretty decent condition.

And being on a roll with the whole kindness thing, Biff also tries to save Gregory from the merciless glare of the spotlight by volunteering to do the necessary exposition covering the time-skip. But Mopey defers in favor of Gregory’s effort, despite Biff setting it up all properly with the old “this reminds me of that” chestnut that’s a perennial favorite with B-movie script writers. Mostly because it’s cheap. >_> (Of course, there are verbose, rambling characters where such random excursion are actually perfectly in character, but they’re rare.)

Speaking of cheap…well, yes, George got those old computers from a landfill, but in his defense: he didn’t go there just to save money on props. He just has a hobby of searching landfills for a motherlode of old “E.T.” Atari cartridges – his personal method of feeling in touch with digital age history. And if he just happens across something that’ll help him save a buck or two on production costs in the process, he can hardly be blamed for picking it up. Especially since Nolan would blame him for not picking it up.

Tune in for Gregory’s big presentation on Monday!
