I wish this episode had ended the series with more of a bang but it didn't. It definitely doesn't rank poorly but, all in all, it was pretty average. It does set up a possible 4th season, perhaps with more from the Gural Nataz (however it's spelled). I'm glad Simon MacCorkinale was featured, since he was one of the show's producers. I was a fan of his since Manimal (what can I say, I was about 7 - it hasn't aged well.)
This episode also happily had blessedly little of Simon's pantomime mugging. That was wearing very thin by this season. It's nice that Karen got to go with them to England. The actual relic of the week mystery was ok. Sydney certainly did have a habit of just going off with any stranger pretending to be someone else. You'd think she would wise up eventually but no.
Personally, I think the show started to get a little tired in season three. We'll never know if it could have renewed itself in season four with more of a serialized storyline or new characters. Or if it would have declined further. Perhaps cancellation was for the best. I will miss Sydney though.
