Enjoyable episode as long as you're able to overlook the gigantic plotholes.

Whoever thought of bringing a space capsule aboard a submarine, open the airlock, admire it, talk about and only then put it in some mobile quarantine device. What's the use of a quarantine device when it's already been into contact with the sub's atmosphere??

Apart from several of these storyline issues, this episode was fun to watch. I love how they drop Mark from a helicopter in a pool and how Elizabeth dives in after him. Nevermind the headlines. I also never realised how much Miller and Elizabeth take C.W. for granted.moreless
