edit: Empire needs no fixing. What we need is a fixed Return of the Jedi.
All too true.
Empire was the greatest of the whole series.
Return was one of the weakest in many ways.
I'm wondering though if Hugo is not really merely a device for the writers to rewrite
Star Wars in their own image as
Star Trek is being re-written, and as
Battlestar Galactica was. And I find that a really interesting idea.
I too was extremely glad to see the storyline involving Miles, as I had awhile back figured out who his Old Man was, as the good Doc is one of the resurrecting Old Men of the show, and because Miles is one of the most interesting unexplored characters on the entire show. And I'm really interested to see what experiment that Miles was exposed to, accidentally or not, that triggered his "powers," which are very
Heroes like. Though I already think that last night's "filling episode" was a clue.
I'm also glad to see Faraday back who always seems to know exactly what is happening in the background, though he thinks he is powerless to influence events, no matter what timeline he appears in.
I also have some idea, a general one at least, of "what lies in the shadow..." and so I'm looking forwards to the next couple of weeks. And to seeing more of the "Van Boys." The detective in me has alreayd noticed something odd about them, especially the spokesman, and his mouth.
I wanna see if it plays out like I suspect.
All in all I found this one to be an excellent episode.
