    Storyline

    • Goofs
      Diana confers with an officer named Ensign Daniel - a character she killed in the previous episode The Overlord (1984). (This error appears to be a consequence of the episodes not being broadcast in order of production, however the 2004 DVD release fails to correct this oversight).

    6/10
    One of the Filler "Military Mission" episodes
    Veteran actor John McCliam plays an old, wise Visitor who is regarded highly and as a genius for technology and his invention was used for war. Albert Repilestein could be his name. He's "saved" by Mike and Ham who are doing their secret operations kind of thing, which is what this episode is, basically, without much on the inside.
