Life's a Glitch (My Two Bobs Part II)

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: ReBoot: Season Four (Movies: Daemon Rising, My Two Bobs): Life's a Glitch (My Two Bobs Part II)

Hack and Slash reboot into the game as a can of Poke and a can of Peek, respectively. I would've expected a can of "Sprite".

This is a new version of the Rocky the Rabid Raccoon game, and no sprites or binomes have yet been nullified by losing it, so the data collected by the game code sampling device is of little use. Phong really enters the game only to avoid helping Glitch Bob, which is unlike him.

There are numerous Star Wars references in this episode, some are pretty lame ("Look, use the sauce!"), some are clever (Darth Matrix piloting a chicken-walker) and the last one is subtle and doesn't read clearly until the next episode: Glitch Bob is blackened and frozen in a pose like Han Solo in carbonite, hands raised in front of his shoulders, palms forward.

Near the end, new Bob suggests, "I can go back to the Supercomputer." This is the only other clue as to the new Bob's identity and intentions.
