Flawed Humans Must Evolve
6 October 2008
A group of people participate in a group-isolation test to see if they can withstand being sent to a distant planet. Although they know they will be subject to unexpected tests, strange events strain their unity, and when personality changes start to happen, certain members break down in paranoia - or IS it paranoia?

This isn't one of the best episodes, but the story actually moves a bit better than some. However the characterization never evolves above stereotypes and not a lot makes real sense. None of the characters are particularly engaging, and as usual the female characters are the weakest. Disappointing.
