Okay, I have to say I liked this ep, but it was odd. I saw two themes in this one. First, Dylan is out of shape, he is getting older. Rommie mentions it, Tyr and Beka. The second theme, the alians were just too easy to kill. It was all too easy. So, the question is why are these two themes prevelent in this ep?

The dialogue many thought was written poorly. But I kept think it was suppose to be that way. We had Dylan and Tyr and Harper and either Rommie or Trance, repeating each others lines. It didn't seem like bad writing as much as it was written intentionally to be that way. Was the tunnel affecting them?

Then there was Tyr. One minute he seemed unsure, the next he seemed like the Tyr of S1 ep 1. The Tyr you couldn't trust, you weren't really sure of. It was as if Tyr was moving between his old mercenary self to someone else.

The end, the test, well all I could think of at that moment was the engine of creation. They had to pass a test to get the first part, could this relate to that?

This ep was quite odd, but really held my attention. I mean, I kept getting this sense that there was something right there, right in front of me that I was missing. I mean, it wasn't like it was bad writing, it was more like this eerie feeling that this was suppose to be written this way, that we were being told so much, without literally being told. I can't describe this, but I wonder about it.

Usually its the audiance that is saying "the bad guys were too easy to kill, why do their have to be stupid villans" yet, this time the crew was saying it. I have to think something more will come from this. I feel the same about Dylan. Too much emphasis was placed on his well being, his health, the fact that he was out of shope. In the end Beka started to say something and I felt it was going to be more on the lines that he looks tired, out of it. could be seeing his good bye to Sara, but I think there was more to it.

Does any of this make sense?
