I'd dropped this two years ago and thought I'd give it another chance, and this was a really good episode to reintroduce me to the franchise. Mostly an action episode and I'm not complaining. We get to see both sides of the battle, the ways in which they battle one another, and the extent of our main characters' skills. Overall, a well rounded episode that has a payoff which feels perhaps a little unearned, but I can suspend my disbelief and enjoy it for what it is.
