: Hmmm. Caught tonight's episode, and I can't say that I was really floored by it, but maybe they're just getting back in the groove. I mean, they wrapped up a season, and then got a little break, right? I think they just need to build up momentum.
: As for D'argo's new makeup, I think it's too dark. I think maybe it's just skin burn (you know, from orbiting a moon that went up in flames), so it'll go away. What aout that leather duster-thing Chriton is wearing. I'll admit it's flattering, but where did it come from? Anyway, enough nit-picking. Even though it was perhaps a little slow, I thought Vitas Mortis seemed like a good segway into the season. Once they decide what they all want to start doing (Finding Talyon, getting home, fleeing the PK), I think it'll get more interesting. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.While I agree that this episode was not one of the show's best, I think it may have served its purpose. I think this episode went a long way towards establishing a friendship between Crichton and D'Argo. I recall an episode during the first season (the name escapes me) where D'Argo very clearly stated that friendship was too much for Crichton to ask of him, but allies they could be. This seems to be a good development for the working relationship between those involved.
