What's that you say? They also got Morgan Lofting to attend and discuss
Prime Target? Just to clarify, given the sheer amount of errors one must forgive to enjoy pretty much
any Sunbow ep, I grade on a scale of "reasonable benefit of the doubt". For example, if the whole musical-language had actually been planned out, and they'd thrown in one line of pseudo-science about how the Eurythman harmonics can somehow travel through space,
Carnage in C-Minor could've worked as intended.
Considering Swindle is an iconic character entirely because so many fans' blurry memories of
B.O.T. have it focusing more on his wheeling and dealing, it's seriously not a stretch to say that if just a few minutes of high school antics had been handed over to him instead,
B.O.T. could even be an above average episode.
Prime Target, on the other hand, just had such a wrong-headed premise from the get-go that the only "if" I can ever muster for it is, "If anyone without Flint Dille's carte blanche had submitted this turd, it would've been flushed
long before it hit the storyboards." For me, there is no other contender for worst Sunbow ep, and
B.O.T. somehow being considered to bear that title instead strikes me as an odd hindsight contrivance; I'd never heard it mentioned as such until just a few years ago, and nearly half the episodes from the first 2/3 of season 2 are more painful to sit through.
But back on topic,

Hmm, thanks to Windblade, that ep's actually quite topical again, ain't it? Yep, Samantha Newark is a pretty good get this year.
