Story: 9.00 Acting: 9.40 Special F/X: 8.80
Notes: The visual f/x were excellent but a few small segments seemed a little
'cartoonish'. The new jumppoint f/x is pretty
neat but is a bit sudden of a change from the original jumppoint f/x fans
are used to for Earth and Minbari designed ships and
jumpgates.
I liked the music by Evan Chen for the show. It kept the setting and mood
unsettled even in moments you would expect a more
melow and relaxing feel.
Best Actor/Actress of the episode: This was a difficult one but I finally
settled on Carrie Dobro. As Dureena Nafeel she
seemed
quite comfortable in her role. Never once did she forced, stilted or otherwise
uncomfortable.
