Jessica travels to a wedding in British Columbia, but gets stuck in a small town, where she quickly gets embroiled in a clash between the local Indian population and a group of miners from a large corporation.
I'd class Northern Explosion as a solid episode, it isn't perhaps a favourite, but it has a good storyline, good characters, and it's definitely well acted.
Graham Greene is the standout for me, I thought he was excellent, a character caught between two worlds, shunned by both, i liked how he kept on coming to Jessica's aid. The whole supporting cast are fine also Ana Alicia and Brian Frejo were both charismatic.
One thing that really did work, was that explosion on the bridge, it looked really strong, I imagine a good chunk of the budget went on it.
I didn't particularly care for the conclusion, the solution really did come out of left field, it was almost a little too zany.
Overall, pretty good, very watchable episode.
7/10.
