I'm hella pissed at the Commonwealth now and can't wait to destroy them and steal their technology . Also, it looks like Dalton will be a major quest giver and it will be interesting to see what he actually looks like _________________

Very fun serial despite frequently changing cast of characters. Also, the editing is incredible. I only caught two mistakes in the whole serial, and I work as a tech writer. Both were in this episode: Quote: The pilot looked down at the two data pads and sighed. Reaching down and pushing the top one away, he picked up the other, holding … Quote: A long, drawn out sigh escaped Bancroft's throat … "I just hope they realize—that they understand that Commonwealth technology …" I think I remember finding a dropped comma in an earlier episode, but I didn't mark it. Incredibly good editing. _________________ Twitter \| TOR-O Articles
