Stockman's like a cockroach, isn't he? He can 'die' so many times and everyone discovers he's not dead after all.
I'm also in the camp of 'liked the idea, not so much on the execution.' It's great we finally get the essentials on why Baxter has turned good. We also get proof to finally whole-heartedly believe he's switched sides. We also get a long-awaited wrap-up (we hope, anyway) to the tragic tale of Baxter Stockman, who's been human, a robot, a brain, a human brain grafted onto an alien, and probably a form or two I'm absent-mindedly forgetting. Heck, even the fact that those dinosaur-like creatures were, as Stockman called them, organic Mousers, was worth noting.
But when it came down to it, there wasn't much excitement to be had. Maybe it's just me harking back to the non-FF days, but I felt I should've been more into this gob of backstory and side-changing than I was. And as glad as I am for Stockman to have a good 'ending' for once... I really hope this is the end for him. I mean, how many believable times can a guy come back?
"Head of State": 3/5.
