A disgustingly funny start to the episode but it's a bit meaningless. Moving on, the episode is well-paced, not going to fast or too sluggishly through scenes. It has some genuinely funny moments in my opinion with cookie family and some okay action sequences which don't do anything spectacular. Most of the episode lacks that dramatic feel that the later episodes of the first season conveyed so well. It showcases comedy first but then takes an interesting and unique turn in the final minutes. Gary failed to save the earth, this in-turn means that he failed to save Todd's family. This breaks Todd heart and blames Gary for the death of his family. This settles in for Gary realizing that he failed to save millions or maybe even billions of people from death. He's friends ultimately show that there for him, giving him the power to move forward. This is an 8 as it isn't groundbreaking but it is a decent episode with a good ending.
