Not simply how many people support Ukraine, how many people choose Ukraine over America. Now it’s a pretty big number.
This show embiggens the heart.
Really feels like the underdog of the season.
For example, In The Motion Picture, there’s a ship named after Christopher Columbus. We know now what kind of person he was and that he doesn’t deserve to be honored. But in a universe where from the 1990s it was one war leading to another which lead to the big one that almost wiped out humanity, Columbus is still known as the pioneer who put the Americas on the map.

“Doctor Malpractice, paging Doctor Malpractice.”
This is still my favorite one. Honk if you remember the joke.
