An engaging and intense premise pits Colonel McQueen, the steely eyed, tough talking Commanding officer of the 58th, all alone against one of their deadliest foes: an invincible Chig fighter who has been picking off entire squadrons in previous episodes. This plays out with a classical soundtrack underscoring McQueen's pent up emotions over his painful personal life, and we get what was easily one of the best episodes in a very promising series.
To echo many other voices on here, I'll lament what a tragedy that such an ambitious, substantive show was (literally) cut off in its prime.
A woeful decision by whichever FOX execs partook in its demise. The show and its makers deserved better. I hope they know how well regarded it has become.
