I agree that after the previous episodes "Robot" and "Omega" this was a let down. However, I did appreciate, as you stated, the Road Warrior with motorcyles nod three years before the Mad Max films would be made. As a boy in '76, the high point of this episode was seeing the beautiful Ark II in action even with Adam at the helm. Honestly, I could have thoroughly enjoyed watching an entire episode of just the Ark II in action on a road trip. In the opening credits, e.g., we see the Ark II going full throttle in the flat open desert, extremely cool. I liked the use of the Ark II's force filed barrier too. Also, the "reports" of problems in sectors that the Ark II crew is constantly getting must be coming from the Ark's home base transmitting them messages of where to go on each episodes mission. Much the way Kirk's Enterprise would get messages from Starfleet Command.<br /><br />SGBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
