  • The worst episode in the shows long run

    "Mediocre"
    By thomasmj99, Jun 28, 2008 Report Abuse
    Well as much as I love this series this episode was pretty poor. It was badly written as the plot seemed to jump from point to point with out any thought. For example the opening ten minutes are really good but the two men who apear here are not seen in the episode again even though it sets them up to be central charactors. Secondly Galens cousin is not seen after he first apears, again to my great annoyance. Then the ending is so swift and abrupt, tieing up zero loose ends (and there are more than a few). On the plus side there are some intresting moments such as seeing a more humain side to Orko and the fun action sequence near the beggining. But be warned some of the talking scenes in the middle are painfuly long and mainly unnecersary. Overall a poor effort but thankfuly a mere blip in the shows run, there aren't any other epiosdes that come close to being as bad.moreless
