    I enjoy the banter between Marcus and Ivanova. It’s a nice bit of humor.Report

    I found Marcus to be one of the weakest characters in the series. It’s hard to introduce a new character into a group that already has decent dynamics. There’s a tendency to give him what tvtropes.com calls Informed Attributes. I think of Cam from Stargate SG-1 as suffering from a similar problem. We’re introduced to him in Season 9 as a hot-shot pilot who everyone and admires and has been just off-camera at every important event.

    Then again, Cam and Marcus were both weak characters. Maybe you can easily introduce characters midstream if they’re solid enough. OK, anyone want to join me on a digression? I can think of Spike on BTVS and Luna Lovegood as successful characters introduced midstream. Anyone else? (Heh. Enjoying the five-minute comment correction time. Let me add Rebecca Howe on Cheers.)Report

    Not much to say about this one as almost nothing of importance happened. The best that can be said is this underscores the friction between Marcus and Ivanova. Ugh, lets move on to better episodes.Report
