Featured review
Sorry to say, but it's another poor episode.
Servalan takes a different course in terms of dealing with The Scorpio crew, she hires a professional assassin, Cancer.
This is the fourth poor episode in a row, I am struggling with most of what this series has had to offer so far, it's marginally better than the last three, but it's still a relatively poor episode. It's a well imagined story, bit there are just too many flaws once again.
Ths best scene by a mile, is the one where Servalan and Verlis are enjoying a drink, bidding for people, it was nice to see Servalan relaxed, and having a bit of fun.
Piri is just the most irritating character ever to appear on the show, her nonsensical bimbo antics are guy wrenching, and her delivery is as wooden and a pirate ship.
The Twist does come as something of a surprise, and I applaud the team for adding a degree of mystery here, it's almost like a whodunnit in space. I quite liked the transformation scene.
That spider prop is horrible, it looks so cheap, but it's fair to say it's in keeping with the rest of the general quality of the episode.
Richard Hurndall is good, Betty Marsden was great in her small role.
Hard work, 5/10.
