1.10 "Trouble in Paradise"

Interesting premise, and I will say, it was well-executed. The plot was advanced at a slow pace, but it was required of the episode. The characterizations were on the spot as far as chemistry goes, and I like that you've pretty much got that down pat now.

I’m very pleased with how Alex thought up a back-up plan and kept a puddle jumper on the planet’s surface with them, it shows that she earned her rank by making good decisions like this. I wonder how the will come into play; bet she’ll help us catch up with the Destiny somehow. Takeshi had some moments, and Tenyris, although very cautious, didn’t seem to be as active and forceful as I expected him to be.

The writing was good. It didn’t quite have the keen wit and sharpness that some of the recent episodes have had, but it was well-rounded and generally pleasing. Only a few minor semi-confusing parts, but they were scant and far between.

The jump to hyperspace was unfortunately expected from the start, because there are far too many spoilers in the synopsis on the site for this episode. It would have been better if I didn’t see it coming.

Well, here’s to another good episode.

Overall: ***
