okay the A plot is good and creepy sci fi fare with some good twists and drama


the b plot is what spoils the show


the designer is a gay stereotype


how orginal


his associate is david wells


former head of nightwatch


how the hell did he get a job after


All the nightwatch did under president clark?


Let alone a goverment position.


the b plot is a poor excuse to justify some of the difference in the next batch of eps


(which are actually the first batch just shown last)


So we have them poncing around with fabric and so on


highy un amuseing.


Fast foward the b stuff


and Id give it an 8


but as is its a bit uneven
