Where to start, this episode is the most fun I have had watching television in a long time. It is just one giant flashback of Crichton's adventures on a nearby planet, which he is relaying to Pilot.
The basic plot (local crime lord kidnaps Chiana and Jool) sounds relatively uninspired but the show is so much more than that. This is an episode that provided final proof that this was one of the most daring and fun programs on television.
The edits are fast, dynamic and creative. The performances again are top notch. The scripting is witty and light. Crichton is in a t-shirt and stockings! D'Argo does the funky chicken! Gigi Edgely and Tammy MacIntosh get to show off their circus skills and the whole thing still holds together.
The only down side is that a casual viewer stumbling across it would have no idea what was happening, still it is well worth the effort and fans will enjoy it immensely.
