That episode really annoyed me. Every time TV and movies address
the topic of immortality, they trot out the same tired old arguments
against it -- it doesn't matter how much you have, but how well
you use it, that kind of thing.

And in this episode, those same arguments come out the mouth...
...of the thousand-year-old man with twelve lives. From where
they ring more than a little hollow to my ears.
