The Dragon and the Fairy

This episode had that "written and directed by one of the actors in the show" feel to it. Dialog appeared to be simply to fill the time (blather); miscast actors in minor roles; the first five minutes playing basketball (why?); odd pacing; It's as though the writers have run out of ideas, but they have to come up with something. If, as I suggested, it was a case of letting an amateur write and direct the episode I have to wonder why the owners of the show would take such a risk with a previously successful franchise. It certainly was not the best use of the on-screen talent. I used to look forward to the show, but I turned it off before the first commercial and it's unlikely I'll watch again.
