Cleo (Jennifer Sky) & company (Gina Torres, Victoria Pratt) go to the surface to fight some of
these extraterrestrial machines (called the bailies - by the way, they
look great when they stomp on people) & to free some folks which the
bailies use as a sort of matrix for their betrayer-androids. One of thes
humans is Pratt's sister, & she doesn't even want to be rescued -
believing the bailies are benevolent & will send her to the Homeplanet.
Of course she - along with Cleo - soon ends up in the android factory,
& of course they are rescued in the nick of time.
As this series go, this is one of the better stories, with Cleo
making up some great lies by deliberately borrowing standard-phrases
from Star Trek, Star Wars & X Files - which
actually comes across quite funny.
On the negative side, this is one of these origin-episodes
(comic readers might be all too familiar with that), meaning it gives
away tiny parts of Pratt's character's past, but by no means all of it.
Other parts might be told in latter episodes which will then be totally
incomprehensible for those of us who haven't seen this episode -
high geek factor ! |
