This is another brilliant episode with some interesting and well used locations. The inclusion of Albert Einstein could easily have come across as just plain silly, but it's carefully judged and works really well. Alex demonstrates such excellent mental and physical strength and skill as he battles his way to the rescue that he proves beyond all doubt that any problems he's destined to encounter with his Medjai training really have nothing to do with his own innate qualities or abilities. We then get an appropriate and compelling look into the less ebullient side of Alex's character at the very end of the episode, and the conversation with Einstein that helps Alex get his head together comes across really well. On a related note, I find the voice work on Alex (which is always excellent) particularly well done in this one.
