I don't deny a sloppy execution here. And the reset button IS offensive, and not just for being extremely anticlimactic. Seriously, this is how taxpayer money is being used? On scripts like this? It is also a mess for its untrue and unfortunate implications about MPD and so forth, a truly bad move on their part to have used it in many of the ways they did. Bad enough the Mal plotline was subject to an absolutely crappy execution. These people can't write!

But the show has always been unrealistic, even if the portrayal of MPD was more politically correct than it ultimately was, some lack of realism would still have to be anticipated. I mean it is still a cartoon. But I do admit this was bad on several counts. A reset button? Really. That's all it takes to defeat Mal. Yeah right, and my great grandfather was the man who split the atom. What were they thinking?
