The episode was cool, I specially enjoy the reaction of Tyr with the monks. It was hilarious.

All the thing with Tura was funny, specially when they discover all the factions she was lying to. The thing about the court was also interesting. It was a good episode.

I have somewhat of a love hate relationship with the episode. There were some points that I really enjoyed but other points I didn't.

What I liked:

I liked Tura's character. I loved her reaction to things, how she handled all of those cons colliding. Deep down she was just a spoiled little girl who want to have some fun, and get rich at the same time. She wasn't as good as some of the other women who have been introduced, Molly, Elssbett, etc, but she was still interesting.

Another episode with great Harper and Tyr scenes. I loved it when they were standing in the hallway arguing and Tyr punched that guard.

Also, it's been a while since Harper's used his data port, I'm glad they threw that into the mix.

I liked all of Tyr's scenes come to think of it, seeing him interacting with the monks, his reaction to Dylan asking him for help, it was all fun.

What I Didn't Like:

As seems to be the trend through this season, Dylan is the cause of my problems. If he's not kissing a new girl in every episode, he's making stupid decisions that put his crew in danger more than it puts him in danger. I really miss the Dylan Hunt of season one who would have pushed a con artist out of the air lock the moment he found out what she was up too. Now, whenever he sees a pretty face he's clay in the woman's hands. I'm getting very sick of 'a girl in every port' Dylan. I want have boy scout Captain Terrific back!

Every time someone ran out on Dylan, or tried to escape all I could think was, 'Why doesn't he just lock the doors?'

The Monks were another source of aggravation in this ep. It seems like every time the writers try to make something funny they think it has to be stupid too. I cringed when ever the monks started spazzing out. Pointless and confusing.

I may be very critical of the episodes recently but when I love a show as much as I love Andromeda it's hard not to have strong opinions on things.

I loved this ep ...yep it was a great feel good ep, kept me interested with intriguing storyline had me laughing with Tyr's reactions to the monks.

I will watch this one again it was a lot of fun...so Dylan kisses the girl again ...sorry but this die hard fan does enjoy seeing those lips in action.
Dont forget he has 300 years of catching up to do...so long as it fits in with the story line whats a little harmless kissing.

Cheers

Don't worry, that is what is good of series or movies, they touch every one of us in different ways. So is cool you have likes and dislikes of it.

You know what I enjoy is people who have strong opinions and who can voice them constructively without resorting to show/character bashing even if they dont particularly like it....sigh.

I look forward to reading your posts Lonewolf you sometimes put into words the very things I feel about some eps.

I enjoy Andromeda very much.

Cheers
