Another decent episode. Loved the game of Chinese 'whiskers'

Definitely a weaker episode humour wise but I still enjoyed it, the idea of pre empting your own actions and chastising yourself in advance was pretty novel. Overall I think they tried to weave too many plots into one episode without exploiting them to their full comedic potential.

Comparatively they spent a great amount of time building up the moose joke to its crescendo and it paid off.

The computer alone could have filled the episode ala Queeg, there was more humour that could have been wrung from that scenario before the inevitable conclusion.

Episode 1 proves the best moments are when the crew are combined.

Also, Kryten has been weak through both episodes, almost a filler character when considering how integral he became in the latter episodes.

"sir are you absolutely sure, it does mean changing the bulb"
