Oh yeah! We're cookin' with radar now! :) Much better ep than last week's outing and one that I actually remember. One thing that I remember thinking when I first watched this episode, why could they not just teleport inside the chain-link fence? Nevermind climbing over it.

I wondered if Chuck would have recognized Nider from Genesis of the Daleks. I should have known he wouldn't disappoint. Part of what drew me to this series in the first place was spotting Doctor Who guest stars from that era, I seem to recall Colin Baker had a guest role on this show before becoming the Sixth Doctor.

Oh and All Hail Servelan,

As I recall, the Feds had specialized sensors in the fenced off area that would've prevented them from teleporting in. Presumably going in through the gate puts out a localised 'all clear' signal, so they'd have to get access there anyway.

And yes, Colin Baker played 'Baban the Butcher' in the Season Three episode 'City at the Edge of the World', Villa's time in the spotlight.

One thing about the review that saddened me was how quickly he glossed over the ending, while it is a little headscratching that Blake takes Travis' tiny gun off Cally, not even wondering why he needed such a tiny gun, I figure he had it before his arm was shot off. (According to Gambit anyway the damage went to the shoulder, so I'm backdating that reveal to Season 1 Travis, roll with it.)

I also feel Travis' closing speech that ends the episode was at least worth playing;

"Run Blake, run. As far as fast as you like! You can't hide from me, I am your death... Blake." roll credits
