Ok, I'm watching this show for the very first time ever (that I know of) and I have to say this is sorta dopey, in the goofy funny way.
I'm 4 episodes in, and I just have to giggle every time Isis flies way up into the cumulonimbus cloudsthe layer of troposphere commercial planes fly, 20-30K in altitudejust to travel a few blocks over.
And she does it while keenly surveying belowfive miles below. You've been on a commercial flight while descending? That's only several thousand feet up, but you know you can't pick anything out that high.
I know, it's just for the excitement. But it still makes me giggle.
ps. I would love to see a parody of an Isis flight where upon ascent she tangles in a formation of geese, arrives in the clouds only to narrowly dodge a Boeing 757 bursting! through the clouds, and then when she reaches altitude to begin look-out, she gets woozy from the lack of oxygen. I picture either MadTV or SNL actors, especially Debra Wilson to mix it up. XD
