Crushing the Conspiracy of the Cheater
Key verse: Take care of your own business. Do your own work. 1 Thessalonians 4:11
We open at the offices of (presumably pirate) radio station “Whinety-nine.nine” run by the Whiner Brothers played by Rick and Bubba (the Rick and Bubba, apparently). After some typical four-color cackling, they--the fiends--broadcast a child’s voice whining “I don’t want to clean up my room!” Wow, that’s lame even for this show’s idea of evil.
Of course, Bibleman, Cypher and Melody (the credits refer to her character as Melody/Mel, like you could never guess the one character’s who name starts with “Mel” is the same one referred to as “Mel”) storm the sound booth right then and there (and of course, the villains only acknowledge Bibleman himself). The Super Whiner Bros. switch on a gizmo that sends out some kind of sonic wave at the Bibleteam to cover their escape (and of course the Bibleteam makes no move to stop them even though they had a good thirty seconds to jump in and corral the badddies). After, what else, reciting a scripture passage, Bibleman pulls out his sword and stabs an amp, ending the attack, and the *cough* good guys pursue their Elvis-impersonating enemies outside.
The brothers set up some kind of gizmo that broadcasts more kids whining. After reaffirming their faith in the Bible once again (which isn’t obvious enough from them being in the Bible Adventure Team), the trio begin knocking away the brothers’ cheesy post production lasers.
WB1: “Time to sign off, Bibleman!”
Josh: “No, it’s time to clear the airwaves!”
I recently found out Cypher’s semi-circle light saber things are called Rings of Mercy. He demonstrates how they got the name by throwing them so they cause one brother’s weapon to explode and blow him to smithereens. We get further evidence of the show giving up its old ways when Bibleman disposes of the other villain by belting him a good one with his sword. Nope, no more of that sissy “villain undone by his own evil” stuff for this generation of “Bibleman.” Lest we think too harshly of the Evangelical Avenger from this, the villain whines “Not again!” as he disappears.
The Bibleteam takes the brothers’ whine broadcasting gizmo, ties it to a scoop (kids love construction equipment!) and drop it in a pit where a CGI explosion marks its passing. “As it says in Psalm 107: 52, the wicked have nothing to say!” Bibleman says with a bit too much self-satisfaction. I recognize this is venturing out of ripping on the show and ripping a bit on the faith itself, which I try to avoid above all else when I review “Bibleman,” but the real world isn’t in black and white, and I don’t want my kids learning from anyone who tries to teach them that it is.
The prologue concluded, we get to hear again how Josh Carpenter found God, then as theme music replaces narration we see clips from the show, including stuff we’ve seen already and how Bibleman defeats the villain of our feature presentation. Well done, Steve Gilreath Television.
“Meanwhile, at a school near you,” a familiar evil figure prances through the halls. It’s The Cheater, seen briefly back in Toxic Tonic of Disrespect (go read my review for that if you need to. We’ll wait for you). Sneaking into the chorus room, he plasters a handmade sign already there and waiting for him next to the door reading “Homewurk Help Here www.helpinghotline.com.” They actually set up that website as a companion piece to the movie, by the way. I don’t say this about “Bibleman” very often, but that’s kind of impressive for them. It’s just a front leading to bibleman.com, of course, but it was a clever touch.
Two kids, a boy and a girl, Jake and Emily, are walking along. “You’ll do great on the test, you always do!” Jake drawls, to which Emily replies she gets so nervous from tests. They see the Cheater’s sign and Jake proclaims, “I think this could be the answer to your problems!” This could be the answer to her test anxiety? Preparing well and getting nervous are two different things. Laughing like a loon, Cheater ushers them inside. Isn’t that always the way? You go to see a tutor and they turn out to be a servant of the Devil out to corrupt young minds. It’s not even like they were tempted to cheat in the first place, leaving the door open for the guy.
They ask if he can help them study, to which replies no, “but I can deliver all the answers without all the work!” Emily thinks that “sounds like cheating,” and after acting taken aback at that word (he’s the Cheater, why does hearing that verb offend him?) he says thinks of it as “being more creative, more resourceful” Cheater plies them with the “everybody does it sometimes” and “you deserve to do better than other people” stuff, cackling all the while.
We cut to the Bibleteam’s mobile base where they’re playing a Jeopardy-like game. Biblegirl is back, supply the questions. Now, I show “Bibleman” very little mercy, but here I admit maybe these guys have read my reviews because they’ve actually fixed some of the (minor) issues I’ve had with their show. For one, the recurring characters besides Bibleman get to have real names now. Biblegirl isn’t Biblegirl all the time, now she’s Lia at ease again, and Cypher’s real name is in fact the one that got a two second mention when UNICE made fun of it almost a decade ago (Kerry). Good job, guys. That doesn’t come close to fixing the inherent flaws in the show’s core concept or anything that extreme, but good job. (Aside: after ten or so odd reviews what readers I have are probably used to him just being called Cypher. I know am. So even though they decided to use his real name, I’m still calling him Cypher)
Of course, there’s the stuff that isn’t fixed like the black guy being the butt of all the jokes. Cypher complains his nametag should say “KT” for Kerry Turner instead of just Kerry, until Josh rips off the “Kerry” one to reveal another that says “KT” like he wanted underneath. I’m surprised that’s it. No lessons on complaining about something so earthly as your nickname. Did I imagine the prologue where they fought villains representing exactly this kind of behavior? That’s impossible, I never heard of Rick and Bubba before I saw this movie. Of course “Bibleman” tries not just to spread the Word of Christ but MARKET it, so yes things like names do matter to them. Things aren’t helped by Cypher calling attention to his nitpick by saying, “You know, for all the amazing things they do well, you think they’d pay a little more attention to the details…” Shut up, man. Somebody could easily think you’re talking about the show itself.
Back to Cheater, he hands out his business cards to the kids, which glow with green cartoon energy and crackle electricity. For some reason this doesn’t send the kids screaming for the security guards. Jake mentions to Emily this might even help at the All-City Bible Bowl. Overhearing this Cheater presses them for details and finds out it’s basically a big version of the game the heroes were just playing with “awards and everything,” and the whole Bibleteam will be there. Wow, if Cheater could wreck that…his name would go down in the annals of Evil! And his maniacal laughter still doesn’t send the kids running. He sticks more of his cards in backpacks other kids have left lying around.
Next, we’re at Jump It Up, the Inflatable Party Place, a place that seems to sell itself on having lots of those inflatable bouncing rooms and slides you see at kiddie carnivals. Bibleman and Cypher hand out fliers for the Bible Bowl and collect high fives from the children until Cypher sees the Cheater lurking around. The heroes pursue him into the room where the rides are. Cheater claims he’s got “places to go and people to deceive,” but instead of leaving he attacks by flinging cartoon simulacrums of his cards like throwing stars. Eventually he turns on strobe lights prompting Bibleman and Cypher to go for their weapons. Since they were quite happy to use their wrist armor to defend themselves up to now and actually killed villains with them in the prologue, I can only assume the Bibleteamsters aren’t planning a non-violent resolution to this battle.
Because even now all the others are really there for is to support Bibleman, Cypher tosses one of his weapons to Josh (and in a long shot in a second we can see they’re still working on that “quality” thing when Josh’s weapon is glowing but the one Cypher borrowed him isn’t). Cheater runs out of cards and realizing he’s no match for Bibleman in a fair fight, turns on his Belittler belt and shrinks, allowing him to escape undeteced. As “Bibleman”’s jokes go, that one isn’t that bad.
Cheater retreats to his lair where, to my relief, we see they’ve decided to keep LUCI around. Call me paranoid, but after she had almost nothing to do in Toxic Tonic and Tuning out the Unholy Hero (which I haven‘t and won‘t be reviewing. It‘s just dull) didn‘t have her at all, I was kind of worried they’d gotten rid of their only semi-tolerable character. She cheers up Cheater by showing him how many hits his website is getting, which he declares nothing less than “sin-sational.”
We return once again to what I hope is a Sunday school classroom. Bibleman tells the kids about Josiah, who cared about what was “right” and “true,” words that cause visible discomfort to Jake and Emily. Problem is we haven’t seen them cheating or being tempted to use Cheater’s website at all. Bibleman doesn’t let up, Biblegirl brings up Phillipians 4, “Continue to think of the things that are good and worthy of praise,” and Bibleman jumps in with “to think about things that are true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and beautiful, and respected.” Good gravy, let the kids breathe! After they’re done with the quotes, a girl comes up and gives them one of Cheater’s cards she found in her book bag. In case the fight at the playground wasn’t enough of an indication he’s up to no good.
LUCI tells the current idiot she’s working for that she was surfing the internet and found a backdoor into UNICE’s mainframe. Amazing what convenience to the script does to the characters’ technology, doesn’t it? She stole the answers to the Bible Bowl and emailed them to all the participants. A bit surprisingly, Cheater doesn’t try to take credit for this masterstroke of EEEEEEEEvil!, and calls LUCI a genius for it. He adds “and humble, too!” But forgets to say, “Quit it!”
The Bibleteam checks out Cheater’s hotline, and worried about his influence decide to send an alert to everyone on the “Bible e-blast list” (but apparently nobody else who attends that school). UNICE somehow learns someone downloaded the Bible Bowl questions and they immediately twig to Cheater’s entire scheme. Biblegirl assures us, “Now that’s evil!” You can menace the population of our entire town, but when you start messing with elementary school trivia contests, you’ve gone too far!! Melody says they’ll get started on a new quiz right away, but Josh warns his cohorts to also be ready for battle at the Bible Bowl. They armor up and, because cool people ride motorcycles, Bibleman and Cypher “rev up the Bibleteam choppers” to make a “perimeter” of the building. Needless to say, they look a lot more ridiculous than cool, especially Cypher in his shiny soup bowl helmet.
Emily’s practicing for the Bible Bowl when Jake comes up with a microphone and earpiece and offers to go backstage and feed her the answers. “That’s cheating,” she protests (see? Protesting isn’t automatically bad), which Jake counters with “that’s being helpful.”
Finally, we get to the Bible Bowl itself. Biblegirl gets a fishy letter from Bibleman telling her to go back to base. Being an easily fooled female, Biblegirl asks no questions and prepares to leave. Melody asks about the Bible Bowl, and BG tells her to start without her if she isn’t back in time. Why it requires more than one of them to be there in the first place, who knows? Making you wonder even more why the Bibleteam’s a threat to the Evil One’s plans, Biblegirl reads a handmade sign on the wall reading “shortcut to parking lot” and takes it, not sparing a second to wonder why that’s there. The shortcut of course leads not to the parking lot but to a dark basement, just the kind of place a villain would set a trap.
“Where am I?” she wonders aloud, starting to get the idea that maybe this isn’t a quick way outside. “Right where I want you!” Cheater laughs. “You took a shortcut, Biblegirl! Isn’t that a bit like…cheating?!” Take that to heart, reader. All shortcuts are bad and do nothing but stunt your spirit. Everything, everything has to be done the hard way.
She tells him they know about his stealing the answers. “So disappointing, but it’s only a part of my grand plan!” he chuckles. “And I’d love to stick around and hear about it, I’ve got better things to do!” Biblegirl tells him. Better than catching the villain? Paying the penalty for taking a shortcut, Biblegirl is rendered helpless when Cheater pins her to the wall with his business card throwing stars.
Upstairs Bibleman and Cypher come in and compliment the decorations for the Bible Bowl, but ask where Biblegirl is. Needless to say, the lid’s blown open on Cheater’s brilliant trap. The men go off to find her while leaving Melody to start the contest. Next thing we see they’re stumbling around the basement muttering, “This doesn’t look like any shortcut I’ve ever seen.” So why did you guys take it? Do you figure out that was part of the trap, or are you a bunch of stupid, hypocritical CHEATERS just like Biblegirl?
Cheater springs in and reveals Biblegirl tied up in “cheat sheets.” He tells them to go ahead and save their comrade, to which Bibleman growls, “Our mission is to do what Jesus would do, and that includes setting captives free!” Any captives? Or just captives you know? We get the idea the Bibleteam’s procedure of blindly following directives might not always be a good thing when in trying to free Biblegirl the men are trapped themselves by the sticky cheat sheets. In case the point wasn’t clear enough, a rope labeled “easy way out” seriously drops from the ceiling and traps Cypher even further until Bibleman frees him with the Sword of the Spirit. For crying out loud, WE GET IT! Shortcuts always end in tears! White Male Man prays to God for strength, then stabs the cheat sheets and frees the three of them.
Back upstairs Jake’s preparing his well-meaning but misguided scheme to help Emily. Cheater shrinks and has Jake put him on his shoulder to coach him through it. Wonder where that’s going. Yes, as the Bibleteam runs up, Jake’s conscience asserts itself and sends Cheater flying with a flick of his finger. Emily admits to everyone that she’s been cheating, even though they didn’t show her getting any answers. I didn’t leave that out. Both kids regained control of themselves before it could actually turn into cheating.
There’s no time to worry about that, though, as Cheater decides to take the direct approach. He gets on a walkway above the stage and laughs at the Bibleteam. “You should see my website alight with people eager to cheat on everything under the sun!” “God created the sun, and He’s greater than any plan you’ll ever come up with!” Cyper retorts. Um… “everything under the sun” is just an expression, what does it have to do with the actual sun? They go on to break the bad news to him that his website was shut down by UNICE, which mean no one, anywhere, ever, will be tempted to cheat again. Or something.
I know the Bibleteam shutting down Cheater’s website is supposed to be thought of as a great victory over sin, but if you think about it it comes off as them being able to shut up anyone they don’t like, and that’s not something I was aware healthy role models did.
Anyway, Cheater tries to make a break for it when who should he run into but Bibleman. They go for their light sabers and after a tepid battle that actually involves no scripture quotes whatsoever, Cheater whines, “Why don’t we just pretend you won this one?”
“That would be cheating!” Bibleman replies. Not destroying your enemy would be cheating? Huh??? Bibleman finishes the confrontation by poking Cheater right in his shrinking belt, causing him to shrink out of sight, which judging from the expression on Bibleman’s face, surprises him for some reason.
We cut to the victory party where a girl is named winner of the Bible Bowl, but we’re left to fill in the blanks as far as how someone could be declared a winner with a super villain crashing it before any kind of conclusion was in evidence. Plus, ugh, giving out awards for memorizing scripture. Look, for the five millionth time, I’m a Christian, and yes I think God’s Word overpowers all else, but is memorizing it more important than learning the lessons and implementing them in your behavior? Jake and Emily are of course sorry for (nearly) cheating and promise never to do it again. Because their lives have been changed by seeing firsthand the damage it can do to young futures. Or not.
Cheater’s walking along, still shrunk and asking himself what he’s supposed to do with dead batteries in his shrinking belt. Before he can get too comfortable in his whining, Cheater’s attacked by a (to him) giant bee. Suck on that, people who don’t agree with Bibleman!

Lambasting the Legions of Laziness
Key verse: Proverbs 18:9 “The person who is slack in his work is just like a person who destroys.”
I promise not to be slack at all as I destroy my last installment of “Bibleman.”
The story opens at a racetrack where Josh is about to undergo advanced training. Joshingly (ha! I made a funny!) he asks his teammates over his wrist communicator, “Are you calling to say goodbye?” Cypher tells him “Central Command wouldn’t put you through this if they didn’t think kids are more likely to emulate someone who does cool things like drive racecars.” Okay, you got me. He says, “Central Command wouldn’t put you through that kind of training unless they thought you might need it someday,” but come on, who’s really fibbing?
As we’ve come to expect, a vision of evil is watching. This time it’s some joker with a greasy yellow face, bad teeth and lame “cyborg” POV shots and echoing voice. “You’re always in control, aren’t you, Bibleman? Let’s see how you like being out of control!” he asks awkwardly and starts jerking around a joystick in a clunky-looking box in his chest. “I hope you buckled up!” he adds with a laugh, just in case we thought he and Josh were playing a game together when the camera starts shaking around in an absolutely pathetic attempt to show us the villain has control of Josh’s car.
UNICE recognizes this as the work of the nefarious Super Pro Game Master 2 and at Cypher’s urges engages auto control override. I wish I could do screen caps because I’d like you to be able to see just how not worried Josh’s friends look at him zooming out of control at high speeds. Josh quotes Psalm 23:4 and shorts out SPGM2’s control over his car. He congratulates UNICE, but it was really his faith in God. Or was it? Make up your mind, show. SPGM2 is shown smoking and shorting out while “aren’t bad people silly”-type music plays on the soundtrack. Anyway Josh soon tracks down SPGM2 and sees him off with a Sword of the Spirit thrust to the chest. Are they trying to make the show more objectionable?
Anyway, what’s the message? Video games are evil? Even this one? ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXsHPLl-zFY[/url])
Watching the battle is the “real” villain (such as we’ve come to expect from the show), a guy who looks too much like an evil homeless Santa for a show celebrating Christianity. He threatens to bring down Bibleman with his Laser of Laziness--which is actually a wooden stick, but I guess they couldn’t think of a “wood” word that start with “laze”)--so he’ll have to change his name from Bibleman to Slacker. This is sad for two reasons, sad because the villain’s so lazy he can't remember that's his own name, and sad because they thought this was funny enough to be a running gag.
After our theme song, Josh and Cypher are at the rec center working out. Well, Cypher’s working out while Josh watches. Cypher, having truly shed his role as the smart guy, asks again why they’re doing this and Josh reminds him they need to be fit and strong to face evil. They see a kid they know named Drew about to take an audition form from a school musical. They asked why he didn’t come to their last Bible study and he says he was too tired to come, even though he lives next door. Little golden sparkles around his head indicate Slacker’s already gotten to Drew. Cypher offers to help him prepare for the musical but shuts Josh up with a shake of his head when Whitey starts to offer to chip in too. What the hell?
Back to the workout, the boys are worried about Drew missing Bible study. “Maybe we should pray for him,” Josh proposes. “Definitely,” Cypher agrees. Guys, it’s nice you’re worried about your friend, but maybe you’re jumping the gun a little? Or is any lapse in Godly behavior, no matter how small, an emergency? In any case, Slacker’s looking on and confirms being behind Drew’s fugue. And eating up some of that back-breaking 30-minute runtime.
At the Bibleteam‘s trailer command center Josh looks for a scripture to use as a basis for Bible study which Cypher provides. “I had some free time last night so instead of watching TV or playing video games I studied the Bible cuz I’m a hard worker,” Cypher proudly proclaims. He’s talking about all those other TV shows and video games that don’t have Bibleman in them, of course. Watch our show til your little eyeballs dry up and fall out, kids. It’s good character! It goes on like this. Everyone’s energetic, eager to chip in and have already responded to all the issues Josh brings up. Just the kind of behavior people like Slacker want to see destroyed! Will they survive his deadly game?!
They’re worried about fewer people attending Bible study. What happened to Josh saying, “He is the one who loves you, who wants you to be the individual He created you to be, not somebody’s robot!” That’s the one thing that stuck with me from “Tuning Out the Unholy Hero." If God wants me to be an individual and not just an unthinking machine, isn't He giving me permission to skip Bible study without any bad feelings? And not to put too fine a point on it, but maybe if you guys helped more than one kid per outbreak of un-Christian behavior…
At school the next day Drew’s seen taking a flier with details on signing up for the musical, even though he took one from the pile at the rec center already. Anyway, our villain blows some smoke from his Lantern of Laziness (man, this dumb alliteration. Can we expect to see him flee the Bibleteam in the Lamborghini of Laziness only for Josh’s racecar training to have a point?) and Drew mumbles “I guess I can get it later” before putting the paper back. “Perfect!” Slacker says almost skipping and wiggling for joy. Dang this show has stupid villains.
Later the Biblteam team is at church setting up the study. They notice a lot of laziness is going around, leading Josh to ponder aloud, “I wonder if the enemy has anything to do with it.” Please, it's the exception when the enemy doesn't have anything to do with it. While Josh answers the door Slacker sends in a strobe light that zaps the other Bibleteamsters with Lasers of Laziness. They sit around listlessly (Nintendo, you might want to talk to your product placement guys), and Drew shows up worse than ever. Josh drags Cypher outside to check something out, what I don’t think even the writers knew, until running into Slacker. “I want to know what you’re doing spying on our Bible study,” Josh demands. My, you’re suspicious for somebody who was complaining about dropping attendance. Especially when only one person outside the Bibleteam showed up at all. “I don’t want you hanging around here for no good reason,” Josh goes on. Slacker gives Josh a face full of Laser of Laziness, and though yawny he manages to drag his friends back to the trailer.
The next morning Drew tries to learn the music for his audition but Slacker doses him again. Wow, if they hadn’t shown that they would’ve had to film almost thirty more seconds of actual plot.
Back at the trailer UNICE declares “Laser of Laziness…disabled!” and Josh is all better, but he’s the only one. “What has Slacker done to them?” UNICE asks of the others. You just fixed Josh, and you know a Laser of Laziness is the source of the trouble…and you’re still wondering this? To make our heroes look even worse, Josh can’t figure it out either and says he's working on antidote. Josh, you’re a hero in a Christian TV show. The antidote always comes from the same place. If he said he was looking for a prayer or scripture to use, that’d be one thing. UNICE does indeed come up with some scripture and after Josh prays a bit the Bibleteam is ready to go out and kick some pitiful demonic tail. I was on the edge of my seat there, how about you?
Next thing we know we’re backstage at the auditions, and Drew’s all better, and has apparently even spent some time practicing with Cypher. Heaven forefend we actually see them helping him out of his funk rather than that idiotic scene of Slacker sneaking into his bedroom (ewww, that suddenly sounds a lot more twisted). They send Drew out to perform while they set a trap for Slacker. Because a villain who personifies laziness is sure to make the effort to ensure his plan succeeded. No thought at all went into this, did it? For what it might be worth, Drew’s audition happens mostly off-screen. I wonder why...
Slacker is of course on hand to close his unholy trap, although if he’d really wanted to keep Drew from making good at the audition, making him too lazy to come might have been a better idea. What you mean what do I know about evil? I’m critiquing “Bibleman.” If that’s not evil, what is?
Anyway, all armored up, Bibleman confronts Slacker and tells him off, but Slacker laughs he’s talking awful tough for having no back up. “The Lord is my helper!” Josh proclaims. So once again, why is there a Bibleteam in the first place if the Lord is the only help you need? Slacker makes a curtain fall on Bibleman, and for some reason it glows, crackles and they show it happening from three different angles. By the time the holy idiot frees himself, Slacker is gone, but Josh knows he’s gone to the gym. I guess the Bible told him that too. The three other chosen are about to go after him but Josh helpfully reminds them they might want their armor and weapons first. So we can waste even more time by showing the transformation, of course.
Josh is skulking around in the gym by himself, showing he has yet to learn Willie’s lesson from Jesus Our Savior. He creeps up on a blanket issuing snoring sounds, but even after he pulls the blanket away and reveals the noise is actually coming from a CD player, he leans over it like he can’t tell what it represents. Josh, do you need God to walk through the door and tell you this is a trap? In the most satisfying moment in the movie an egg timer held by an El Furioso doll (ah, self-deprecating humor. I was afraid we'd lost you, my old friend) runs out and explodes in his face.
“It’s no use Slacker! The battle is God’s! 1 Samuel 17: 47!” Not with people as stupid as you to do His dirty work, it isn’t. Slacker appears and sics his goons on Josh, but the rest of the Bibleteamsters pick that moment to arrive. The drama of them rapelling down from the ceiling’s just the tiniest bit undercut by the cartoony slide whistle noise, though.
The expected tame battle royal begins. While at Command Central Biblegirl traded in her ray gun for a Tonfa of God’s Loving Forgiveness. Given the discarding of their defensive battle tactics, it’s an odd choice. “Sorry, but this battle is the Lord’s!” melody tells her sparring partner. Didn’t we do that just now? “It’ll take more than that to defeat the Army of God!” Cypher tells his opponent. Does Jesus Our Savior ring any bells? Remember when Bibleman was knocking the bad guy’s shots at you? Have Josh tell you about the trap he walked right into before you guys got there. Sounds like the Army of God needs to worry about itself before it worries about Slacker.
But because they’re the heroes, the Bibleteamsters do eventually win. Possibly realizing how smiting the villains doesn’t work for role models, but unwilling to go back and reshoot the racetrack battle, the Bibleteam sticks the defeated Slacker in a box and mails him to “The Bad Place.”
The Bibleteam gathers back at the audition (Drew’s playing something that sounds like Amazing Grace) for the end of show back-patting. “He chose the right path, and persisted even when things got rough,” Melody beams. I wish we could’ve been there to see it. Josh wishes he could be a singer, but his friends shut him down again. Way to show us how good Christians encourage each other. I’m signing up for the Bibleteam right now.
If you’ve made it all the way to the bottom of these reviews, thanks. I hope you enjoyed it more than actually watching these movies. But…this is it. I have no doubt the show will go on, but I’m getting tired of it, and not really having anything new to say with each one. Surely it's escaped no-one's attention how these are a lot quicker and lamer than my older Bibleman reviews. So, this is my farewell to reviewing the Bibleman series. We had a good run.
