Out of Their Minds
Teleplay by Michael Cassutt
Directed by Ian Watson
REVIEW
It must have been unfathomable for new viewers, but if you knew the characters well at all, this body-swapping episode was enormous fun and very impressive.
True, the plot was of no real interest because it was solely a device to get the body-swapping story started, made a little more complicated, and then stopped. And true, Zhaan got an unusually active role with her flying off to board the enemy ship. But this ultimately locked her out of the body-swapping and therefore the meat of the story.
The show's two strongest actors, Ben Browder and Claudia Black were the best at taking on other characters and mannerisms, but the whole group managed it well. Enough so that it was more fun watching Crichton-as-Rygel in the background than it was following the plot in the foreground.
