1. Dropping everything to destroy the female Psycho Warrior was, in fact, more important than finding Space King.
2. The dude who created said Psycho Warrior was, in fact, from Bryce's legion, a not-so-subtle jab at the shit our boy gets into in this episode.
3. The true nature of the green crystals was hinted at by the title of the fucking book. Bryce is a fucking idiot.
4. Even with 40% of his brain missing, Terry is smarter than Bryce.
5. The Warden Psycho Warriors had green energy swords, meaning they knew what the Green Crystals were supposed to be used for, and still couldn't resist using them.
6. Hatemonger actually kind of likes Chestnut now and is kind of protective of him. Something to be said for being able to swing the Hate Mace. Humorously, this backfires because teaching them compassion before Hatemonger showed them hate 101 actually made the machines hate *more*.
7. I love that the plot moves forward because of our heroes' fuck-ups and not in spite of them.
8. Captain is actually improving on his leadership, and the entire thing WAS Bryce's fault and a showcase of his ego (most obvious part), but in the scene where Terry opens the door and reveals the crystals, Captain gives BRYCE his attaboy. That means that Cap was planning to do that the entire time, and Bryce would have gotten his credit regardless of Terry's contributions because it was HIS idea, but Bryce, being a dipshit, didn't see past this.
9. Bryce does learn his lesson by the end of the episode, but true to form his interpretation of the lesson is fucking hilariously dumb.
