I've been one of the people following Gafford's work since his beginning of production of Episode 1. During this story, there was lots of plot that was unfortunately cut for time. Understandable. However, there is so much of Wolf's subplot instead of the assumed main focus, James McCloud, in this flashback episode, it brings a major contribution to this extremely slow pacing. The cut content featured his storyline following his capture, the dynamic between him and Andross, etc. But that was shafted in favor of this fixation of Wolf and a young Fox, understandably a "what was happening during all of this", but that isn't the main plot. At least, it shouldn't be. I felt constant impatience waiting for James to come back on screen instead of listening to these forgettable and unimportant side characters, unessential cameos, and there is ZERO interaction between Fox, the main character of the series, and father.
Overall, it's not necessarily bad, but left me frustrated for what could easily have been moved and saved for a different episode that could focus on a different flashback instead of being filler that takes you out of the serious, high-stakes mission James and Peppy are sent to do. Might as well call it A Wolf In Space.
