Admittedly, I last saw it twenty years ago, or so...
About the only part of it that seriously aggravated me was Steven Pacey's (Tarrant) delivery of his lines throughout his first couple of scenes with Avon and Dana. Every single line ended in a descending tone. I suppose he was trying to go for authoritative confidence, or something, but it played out as repetitive and a bit dull, really. I was dying for a bit of range. It manifested, eventually, but the wait wasn't easy.
But, yeah, aside from that, it's a damn good episode. Unfortunately, I think that might have been the best eps of the season but given how vague my memory is of that run, I'm just going to have to give it all another chance before pronouncing judgment. Granted, the fact that my memory of S3 is far fainter than that of the two seasons preceding it is not a good sign, but it's a risk I'll have to take. ;)
