Day 266: The Ambassadors of Death Episode 2

Once again, this episode is wonderfully action packed. This time, instead of being a warehouse shoot-out we have a hold-up of a truck carrying a spaceship. The major thing that I took away from it was a sudden realisation that I actually have no idea what is going to happen in this episode. This has two meanings. One is that I have never seen this episode before, hence I don't have an idea of the plot and so on. The other is a consequence of the longer serial length. Due to having a longer serial, it means that we need to stretch out the plot, leave key revelations of things such as motivation of the villains until later, such that the writers don't run out of story by episode 5. It's similar to The War Games in this regard, and it's a truly fascinating experience to get to experience this story for what is essentially the first time, and have no idea of what is ahead of us...
