   Eh, I thought it was a particularly weak episode.  Seemed like they   
   weren't sure what they were trying to parody, so they just threw a   
   bunch of stuff at the wall to see if anything would stick...and   
   nothing did.  Maybe I was just overly tired when I watched it.   
      
   Did I imagine it, or did they use soundtrack music from A Clockwork   
   Orange at one point, for no apparent reason?
