Seeing many mixed reviews pro and con for this episode. I unfortunately agree that the series as a whole is disappointing. Many good commented points on how interesting this plot could be. Such as, the underlying humanitarian notes (the Terrans were heartless in their efforts to take what they wanted from the Rexorians; yet Vera and Silas experience real shifts in emotion). This story with a little work could have been believable and even a bit like Star Trek as one reviewer commented (some very good Voyager episodes come to mind although I wouldn't go so far as to put them in the same league).
What ruined it for me was the subjectiveness of some of the plot lines of the story. If they could see video of the battle and the aliens entering the ship, why couldn't they have seen further video - on the ship. And mainly, if they know for sure that he has become a Rexorian, was their advanced science not able to determine if there was a hint of alien in the DNA or the mind of Silas? Why was it just up to peoples' opinions in a rigged court setting as to whether Silas was a Rexorian? Overall rating of 6 for the theme and the possibilities of what could have been.
