I really hate Ishi - she is unnecessarily unpleasant at all times and definitely languishes at the very bottom of my "well used contemporary companions for Alex" list. On the other hand, Alex himself shows a compelling mix of characteristics here (not all of them entirely positive, of course, but all of them appropriate and believable) and again comes through as the most skilful and courageous of boy heroes, which I really like to see. The gynarchy is understated and interesting, and while the episode does practically nothing to progress the overriding plot of the series, it's a decent stand-alone adventure with some nice moments.
