This I think was the adaptation at its best. Instead of trying to stuff several of the animated stories into one, this one follows mostly a single original episode, but with the additional breathing room provided by the longer episode format. In addition, the deviations from the original episode, in particular the presence of our favourite tall glowy woman, worked to great effect. The action scene was a standout of the episode.
It is not a masterpiece, mostly because it does not contribute much to the character arcs, but it is a very enjoyable episode fully worth of the animated one it is inspired by.
