   Heh, did Stargate do that? So did Angel and Community. I haven't seen   
   Stargate, but based on Angel's and Community's offerings, my hopes for   
   puppet episodes do not tend to run high.

   I'm not sure I'd call puppets woke, but it's definitely ludicrous.   
      
   Why do we even have this dumb "person turns into a puppet" trope? What   
   on Earth is this for?   
      
   I'm trying to think of some legitimate narrative purpose it might serve.   
   I can't think of a single thing which couldn't be better done with a   
   less ridiculous condition.
