The end of the last weeks we were given what looked like an excellent preview of tonights episode. It made tonights episode look amazing.

We get to tonights episode… and for the first 20 minutes… We get nothing.

Again.

Then 3 treats.

Then for some reason. Captain Jack becomes useful. He somehow shifts himself from what ever miracle day show that was featured at the end of last weeks, to stalking the Ghostbusters girlfriend. At this point we get the epsiodes first treat. A sensible mature conversation between two old men of the sci-fi universe discussing the nature of “the system”.

The action is switched back to the camp in America, following Rex and Esther as a series of wrong choices lead to Rex being tortured in an amazingly intense scene, quickly followed between THAT fight between Esther and Colin Maloney - That finger / eye move! Great stuff!

The third treat… THAT explosion! Good Stuff.

Kudos also needs to be given to John Shiban, the writer of tonights episode. For including a steady theme throughout the episode, of the difference between the middlemen of this world - and those who say no. So arguably the best of the series so far. Shame we had to sit through the first half of the episode to get to the good stuff… again.
