This is a review of only the portion of the episode preceding the title card.

I don't know why I continue with this show. The idiocy of the characters and the production staff just continues to astound me. We open with a continuity error, as a bit of metal is forged. (The very last shot of the sequence shows the metal practically unbent, despite how crumpled it looked in the shot preceding.)

And then we have a fight sequence with a large crocodile-like creature. Despite the warriors having jet packs to fly, we see several of them tether themselves to the massive creature, who is not yet wounded enough that the tethering will accomplish anything but limit their options, and probably get them killed. Several of them probably died when the creature was blasted onto them at the end of the scene. (Darwin Awards for all!)

But Andor got really good, so maybe this one will too. And the score is fantastic as ever. To me that's been the one redeeming quality of this show. The rest has been no better than that one time the crew member in blue jeans was clearly shown in the middle of the shot, and somehow it still aired.
