Outcast Reviews Round-Up
February 7th, 2008 Filed Under Episode Reviews: Other Websites
A bit late, but better late than never? I tend to think so. So in amongst all the news (whether you see it as good or bad) about season 5 casting here are some reviews of last week’s Outcast.
MediaBlvd Magazine has this to say:
In a season marked by more character exploration, the second half of that effort has been hit or miss. Fans were divided over the previous two episodes, and this installment, focusing on John Sheppard, will probably fall into the same category. It’s an unusual episode, to say the least, because most of it takes place on Earth. It’s a break in format that gives the story an unusual scope.
SyFy Portal enjoyed the fight sequences, like me, but again were disappointed with the lack of the team in the episode and the use of replicators, once again:
I’m getting a little tired with the Replicator overkill. They are interesting villains, but I would love to see some new and different threats. This episode had a bit of intended camp feel due to the resemblance with “Terminator.” But at least they knew that and had Lee make a reference to the film. Overall, this wasn’t one of their strongest episodes this season, but the peek at Sheppard’s past and the guest stars helped make it an enjoyable episode.
Come on Atlantis, give us something more!
