: Well, now that I've seen every episode, I can say that "Chosen One" was the low point of the season for me, followed closely by "Unnatural Selection". My favorites were "Out Of Time", "Camelot", "More Than Human", and "Paradise Found". The rest were all pretty decent. What does everybody else think?What about the worst of the season? Here are my nominees: "Paradise Found" - This one almost lifted itself out of the quagmire of bad episodes when it almost killed off Malone. But then it saved Malone and put itself back in the basement. No action, no adventure, no cheesecake, no deep plot devices. The tree effects were good, but that was about it. "Out of Time" - This one was so bad, I'm blocking all memory of it so I don't have to deal with the pain. "Creatures of The Dark" - a good idea executed poorly. Marge, Challenger, and Malone suffocate in a mine shaft until rescued by human cave-dwellers, and then are almost sacrificed until the mountain volcano starts to erupt and scares the dwellers. No action, little adventure, no cheesecake. "Birthright" - A blown chance for cheesecake when the queen is introduced, again when she's almost a mummy, and a Rhamses who didn't look Egyptian are just a few of the major blunders. Was the producer out sick when this was made? "Resurrection" - I'm sure there was something redeemable about this episode, but I can't think of what if could be. I should mention that "Salvation" would've made this list had it not been for the sub-plot of the Christec warriors chasing Veronica through the jungle. That was about all the action, adventure, and cheesecake in the whole episode. The main storyline should've been scrapped altogether and just let the cameras focus on the jungle chase storyline. The scenes where Veronica gets captured are very well done. Well, that's all for now. Enjoy!
