Filler rating: bad filler
No significant exposition, events, or consequences. And a lame episode on top of that.
Remarkable scenes
- John: "How can you say that?" D'Argo: "Because it's true. You're exactly like a Sebacean."
- Jool getting milked.
- D'Argo encountering Harvey while he and John use the hammerhead alien's tentacles.
- Raxil revealing that she plotted and schemed John's and D'Argo's involvement in her quest to fell Fe'tor because of their reputation for blowing up a Shadow Depository.
- D'Argo's remarkable transformation.
Review
Another flop. This episode is basically a repeat of the last one's pointlessness except on Moya instead of Talyn. Annoying aliens of the week, weird directing, and manufactured danger. I'm all for some well executed whimsy, but this wasn't well executed at all.
