I totally agree, and have often thought so. They're getting closer and
closer, yet Spike stops asking questions. But they do that in PG very
occasionally - screw around with logic to make for more drama. However,
they do this in EVERY show. It only shows up in PG because everything else
is so good and logical and intelligent. Whereas in crappy american sitcoms
where everything is contrived, you hardly register when suddenly everything
wraps up far too easily.
