This is by far my least favourite episode of the first season. Simon Montgomery is my second least favourite of Alex's contemporary companions (he's just above Ishi on my list, of course) and represents the worst use of Thomas Dekker I have ever seen and/or heard. The Puzzle of Horus is the most annoying and arbitrary MacGuffin yet (although there's worse to come in the next season!) and serves to render the entire quest so far utterly redundant, as it quickly reveals the location of the Scrolls of Thebes so that they can be around to play a decisive role in the upcoming season finale.
