A Heart for Falshood Framed
This is accually a good episode.  Low action and powerful storyline.  It accually took a few viewings to get.  I don't have the beginning anymore but the rest was great.  You don't have to have a big "shot 'em up scene" to have a good show.  I'm glad that we got a break from the guns and violence. 

The story:  We have here yet another Beka story.  This is a good thing.  But she is getting just a little more attention than the others but we won't hold that against her.  Lisa Ryder is a very good actress and deserves to be put on the front line now and again. 

Theivery:  Well, it was for a good cause.... I did like Harper's comment that Dylan would make a good ringleader, identfying that he was in on the plan. 

The Plan:  the plan itself was a little complicated.  They were to discuss peace and when it couldn't be found they would give the Than the heart secretly (this part I'm not too clear on). 

The plan of course doesn't go as...well, planned.  This is good because you have to have the plan go wrong to have a story.  So there. 

Over all I think this was a good peice.  It was well acted and had some fine twists.  the ohly problem I would mention, and I have to, is why did Beka sleep with that guy?  (sorry bad on names)  I mean, it sort of fit with the story but it wasn't necissary.  He was right, she could have searched his room any time.  The only way it would fit in the story would be if their relationship had been expanded a little more.  There were implications that Beka did like him (the ending looking out at the stars) but what was it.  In defense of my rant on Dylan I will say that promiscuous sex fits better (though I hold true that I don't like it in any situation) with Beka's character then with his, that however doesn't make it acceptable.  So what do we have here, betrayal, or heartfelt one night stand? 

When I finally get my ratings up, (I have a system just not the time) this will most likely be fairly high.
