  • A bit of a stupid storyline but a fun episode nonetheless

    'The Cure' is another episode that showcases the two astronaughts unbelivably knowledge of things they have no reason to no about. For example in 'The Good seeds' they had brilliant farming methods, in the final episode they no how to build a glider, they have shown themselves to be kung fu experts and gifted fisherman, and here they no how to make medicene. Ok it is un realistic but it is part of the episodes fun and for that matter a part of the series fun. The episode has good moments but I feel that in the grand scheme of things it is not a vital episode, nor is it one of the best. However I enjoyded it. One criticism though is that both Galen and Alan are horibly out of character. Alan seems to fall in love despite being married and Galen is rude and mean to the humans. Oh well that doesn't stop this being a fine episode.moreless
