Spends too long with Archimedes and that lot in my opinion, and the ending felt unsubstantiated. But other than that, another really enjoyable entry.

Coffee? Yes, please, Jeeves.
I'm going to take what might be a minority position and say this wrapped up at just the right time. I feel quite satisfied but also quite done with it.

Have a coffee (thanks, Jeeves) and I'll tell you more.
I agree that the Medeiros angle was unnecessary, except perhaps that it gave the Bobs some ideas they could later use against another opponent.

Beer? Yes, please.
Disappointed that no one zapped Rosie.
Maybe we spent too long with Archimedes et al.
The Bridget story arc was predictable but reasonably well handled.

Oops, time for coffee.
The diverging personalities continued to be well done.

Overall -- more coffee? -- the series deserves marks for its enormous reach, for its occasional nods to actual science, and to some pretty good pacing.

I'll watch for more Taylors.
