Part 4
The cliffhanger resolution seems deliberately cheesy - all those reaction shots reminds you of 70s TV when they made special effects cheap by never showing them. There are a few nice ideas and images buried in what seems a very rushed episode, but too much of it seems to have been filmed to get from A to B without anyone saying 'Err - why does this happen again ?' (the worst example being Mena's attendants - to get her to the point of death, she has to be on her own - so her attendants go wandering off after the Foamasi out of the boardroom !!).
Technobabble leaps from everywhere, and the decision to make the Generator a cupboard comes back to bite them big time. And, sorry Si, but the last 5 minutes or so are just painful to watch - worse even than the 'we're all friends' of the Awakening. Perhaps shortening Ep 3 and moving the cliffhanger would have been worthwhile after all.
Overall I'd go 6/10 - it looks great a lot of the time, but there's a lot of look over substance for my liking.Bazinga !
