  • This episode was one of two examples of great writing on this show. Sadly the rest of the series can't compare

    Not to sound biased, but there's something to be said about Christien Anholt's guest appearances on this show. This was his second appearance, and like the first, it seemed to make the show work for once (or twice).

    In the episodes without him there seemed to be an emptiness. Perhaps the rumors are true. This was a quick attempt to capture the spirit of Relic Hunter. But what Relic Hunter had was chemistry. The two leads go along so well it oozed out of the screen. This series seemed to lack that chemistry. Except when one of the former stars of Relic Hunter - Christien Anholt - made his appearance.

    He just made this gel so well. If you want a taste of what Adventure Inc should have been like, this is an episode to see.moreless
