#0117 - Through The Looking Glass

Overview
As Moya's pregnancy becomes hard on her crew and their faith wavers from her, Moya tries to show what she is still capable of by Starbursting. In her weakened condition though, she becomes trapped mid-Starburst and some of the crew vanish, even though they are still reported to be on board. A claw also begins to rip through Moya, belonging to a creature with unclear motives.

What I thought
Confusing, freaky, odd... what to say about this one? There wasn't particularly much character interaction, as it was all about "what the frell is going on" and how to move out of it, along with the weird claws going around the place that govern the space between Starburst space and normal space. But there was interaction between the crew and Moya and Pilot, as the crew at first seem ready to jump ship, and then later decide otherwise. Some nice effects and CG, and a nice reference to Alice in Wonderland was probably in there (not sure - don't remember clearly) as Crichton slides down from one dimension to another. And the bits in the funny yellow dimension with Rygel constantly telling jokes was funny. The dimensions and the way they're handled do convey what they're supposed to - the red vision dimension did convey a sense of just feeling ill, the blue was loud and when it moved elsewhere everything seemed so quiet in comparison, and the yellow one was done well with Rygel, John and Chiana just telling jokes all the time. But this wasn't really a very strong episode, and while it was welcomed and a decent enough Moya-centric episode, in my opinion it deserves a 3 out of 5.
