Crazy how the meaning of the word "goon" has changed.
Back in my day, that used to mean a hired thug or criminal, or a not-so-bright person. Now it means a person who shakes hands with the milkman for free.
I re-watched it recently... as much as I hate to admit, it's worse than I remember it.
Virus Buster Serge and Gravion, not so much. (We don't talk about Angel Blade...)
I dunno if this is about me, but last time I checked, I recall saying a month ago "I'm helping to keep the series alive" in passing.
If that came off as conceited to you, then I apologize.
