Thoughts:

This is just another run-of-the-mill a cult is going to use pseudo-scientific means to bring back the dead and conquer the universe.  It’s so tried and true that the characters – especially Benny – appear to be commenting on it’s ludicrous nature.  I’d say that this episode is unintentionally funny, but I think the actors were in on the joke.  So there’s nothing new to this story other than the actors having fun with their otherwise boring dialogue.  Oh, and there’s a really polite robot named Joseph.  I’ll give that five points.
