Attention!
The Mantis-Eye Experiment requires javascript to function properly. If you are running a noscript plugin or similar you should add it to the whitelist! If your browser doesn't support javascript somehow, uh, that's pretty weird. Good luck with that.

I hate to clutter things up. But did anyone else feel like that episode was purposefully timed to sync up with the end of San Diego Comic Con?

I was thinking that too. I thought maybe that was too far of a stretch but if you see it too, there may be something there.

i'm 99% sure they dropped this episode right at comicon time for a reason.

the whole gag about the charging for autographs/photos is an experience the guys had at comicon (last year?) and i think they were definitely spoofing on that.

Also, the large grouping of weird people dressed up in costumes. does that SCREAM comicon to me only? isn't that EXACTLY what comicon is? a bunch of awkward people running around in costumes causing scenes?

I didn't really make that comicon connection, but I have to admit it does make a lot of sense.
The autograph scene actually marks the second joke of this nature so far this season (the first being Brock's criticism of Doc in The Buddy System) and according to Doc and Jackson's commentary the whole idea is based on Dana Shneider's experience at Dragoncon a couple of years back.
