I gave this one an 8 .... but because of the ending and what we learned about Tyr and the Kodiak pride. The rest of the ep, by itself, would deserve much less, but the ending blew me away sufficiently to warrant an 8.

What a turd.

The music was so bad that I hum it to myself endlessly in order to induce a large bout of laughter. And after all, everyone needs laughter, right?

Hmmm...maybe I should give it one more point for giving the gift of hilarity...

Nah.

I only liked one third of the eps this season thus far. I hope the eps will get better in the new year.

And that's being generous.

-1 for the sword toting Genite
-1.5 for the stupid recording of Medea
-1 for harpers science kit comment
-1 for the giant Dylan

+1 for Beka, I thought she was great in this ep

so gives me around a 6.5

About a 3.

...Having rewatched it in better conditions, I think a 3 is as high as I'll go. Tyr is lovely to watch, so those points are for him (and Beka, and Harper acting like her little brother, and ANDROMEDA getting a bit "This is too predictable!" cranky about her malfunctions), but Medea's attempts to act are so excruciating, she brings lots of the ep right down with her as she crashes and burns...

I've never given a zero!! What the frell is happening to this show???

Would've been higher with decent fight direction.

How I arrived at this score bears repeating:

MY HIGH PRAISE goes to KEITH HAMILTON COBB for his professionalism in rising above crummy dialog, a rotten script, and a board as a partner -- and still delivering a very decent performance. I applaud you, sir. Had this ep truly been about Tyr and explored the depth and breadth of his character and his past .... you could have delivered a stellar performance. Instead you were handed tripe. However, you took the tripe and gave me something to feel decent about in this ep. My thanks! For your performance, I give 8 pts.

Beka's small bit deserves another thanks - for rising above .. and I give 2 pts. That brings us to 10 out of 10. HOWEVER .....

For crummy dialog, a rotten script, unbelievable sloppiness in the ep (who was watching mr. villain anyhow?) ... and mostly for NOT knowing enough about Tyr and Nietzschean's as a whole to fill a thimble .... I grant a distinguished -12 (minus!).

That gives this ep a -2 for me. It ranks just above Mad To Be Saved, which I downgraded to a -3 just to keep it at the bottom. *sigh*

Best of the season, possibly all three seasons.

-1 for Desiree's flat character
-2 for her being the love of Tyr's life (sheesh, Freya was better)
-1 for the villain (yawn)
-1 for lack of Trance's guessing powers (hey, she found Dylan in ARITA, so what's she doing sitting in the background when Tyr's missing?)

+2 for Beka (Lisa's acting is great as always despite this and that)
+1 for Tyr's history

=8

An okay episode, at least there weren't any (really) crazy people or video-game-like slipfighter scenes

I'd give it even lower, but gotta give credit to Beka and Harper for their consistently great acting. Tyr sucked--his dialogue was stilted and he acted like he didn't even believe himself.

My biggest gripes: Giant Dylan in Space (?!?!?!?!), Medea's "I'm a drama queen", and the pure cheese that was the battle with the "fortress moon" that wasn't smart enough to not leave its own post.

So... 2.5. That's too nice. But I'll stick with that.

And I really think that I'm being generous. What happened to the Andromeda we knew and loved?

I rather enjoyed this one, of course, your own mileage may vary.

For the great Beka and Harper interaction!
The rest of the ep was painful to watch.
