Of Mites and Men has plenty going on to keep the viewer engaged and entertained in this season-arc-driven plot. Allison is on reluctant leave after her brain-takeover experience with Barlow, Astraeus candidates are put their paces to see if they can meet the challenges of space travel; and there is a crisis brewing with Global missing chunks...of itself. It is a fun episode with requisite physical and character-driven comedy but more double entendres than usual (a LOT more). Unfortunately, the latter seems a bit forced and designed to fan the flames of a series with a few years under its sci-fi belt - which is disappointing. As as side, Wil Wheaton's ongoing turn as an egotistical scientist is curiously welcomed - sometimes a character designed to be annoying can be so irksome that their mere appearance detracts from the story being told, but Wheaton crafts his performance perfectly so that while his character needs a good slap upside the head, you can't wait to see what he does or says next. Just terrific.

The Tie...
eipekili4 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Can we talk about how Jack got caught in the wall by his tie and then sat there for ten minutes, waiting for everyone else to devise a complex solution involving a chain of origami cranes and a magnet to pick up a device he could have easily reached had he just taken off the tie!?
