It really does seem like the entire Cobra cast has been booted from the show this season as every single episode is just Dr Mindbender and the Dreadnoks. Shake things up a little!

That said, blast of an episode, with a good mix of humor - Sgt Slaughter going undercover at a scifi convention - and pathos - the engineer turned scifi writer willing to sell his own brother to regain the use of his legs. I wish they'd found a different way to close it than the redemptive ending, something more along the lines of "Sink the Montana" where once certain lines are crossed in the name of Cobra (he literally tried to kill his own brother!), you can't just easily take it back. And they are still struggling to make the new cast fully defined characters, just burning through a bunch of them as they largely play second fiddle to Sgt Slaughter. Still, it's a strong, entertaining episode.
