[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The episode involves Dilbert having a near death experience (shortly followed by yet another), and Wally being falsely worshipped by a group of young marketing students when a rocket containing a picture of him with the false appearance of a halo over his head (a lá The Last Supper) crashes into the marketing brainwashing seminar and is discovered by the easily fooled marketing students.

The rocket was originally meant to be discovered by alien life because it contained a time capsule.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Quotes

Alice: (furious) Are you telling me the Afterlife was a stinking cubicle?

Dilbert: I'm just telling you what I saw.

Loud Howard: How fast was the Internet connection?

Dilbert: I don't know if it had an Internet connection.

Wally: Well, this raises many troubling questions about the Afterlife. First, how do you get your software upgraded? (pauses) I guess it was just the one question.
