This was fantastic on a rewatch. Claudia Black is delightful (and more ravishing than ever), and her comedic line delivery is perfection, with several delicious sound bites from just the first 20 minutes. Along with Lexa making puppy dog eyes, and the Katesh performer, it's a buffet of beautiful dark haired women.

As a cheap sci-fi show, it's still remarkably affecting despite technically being a "villagers of the week" episode, and Claudia Black deserved an Emmy nod just for this one episode. I didn't quite tear up, but I did gulp in sympathetic response to her reactions later in the episode. Prior dude isn't isn't Julian Sands, and doesn't get the dramatic set lighting, but he's still creepy.

Really cool shot with the suspended P90 bullets. I didn't even think about how they did it, and I still don't have an idea. Pristine effects work.
