Not a bad episode. Jaime's sparky mutual mistrust relationship with cynical mercenary Harry Walker carries most of the episode. Raises a few moral questions along the way about just how much the white western world should be interfering in the internal affairs of African countries too, without ever being overly preachy or self-righteous about the subject. But if you want to just sit back and enjoy the show it's not a bad one.
Only reservation I have is that it bears an awful lot of similarities to the first series episode "Angel of Mercy'. I know there were only so many plots to go round in seventies action and adventure TV (everybody had a go at the Killer Robots plot for example) but when a show is starting to cannibalise it's own previous episodes it's not a good sign and maybe a sign that The Bionic Woman was starting to run out of steam.
