Well, Timelash has some time problems, obviously, but it has great
action, great dialog and Straker looking great all disheveled - a sort
of Straker against the aliens sort of episode. People who like Straker
like this ep.

(The problem is, time was stopped at the studio for hours. when it was
night outside, it was still daylight at the studio grounds. So ... when
time resumed - what happened? Did it instantly become night at the
studio and how do you explain that to the studio personnel? Or did it
remain day while the rest of the world was night - thus making the
studio a permanent time warp - and how do you explain THAT to the studio
personnel?)

Yes, I liked that ep too.

Some people require scientific accuracy, while others enjoy character
developement - personal taste ...

Several are best:
Kill Straker - the interaction between Straker & Foster
Timelash - Disheveled Straker
Ordeal - Foster almost naked in the sauna <gaaaaaaahhhhhh>

Worst:
Cat with Ten Lives - Mistreatment of the poor Siamese cat
Sound of Silence - I never really understood it


Well, as you can see - very personal choices ..... <ahem - blush>
