Negative Positive
Title: Visually Dynamic, Weakly Written
Review: At his weakest, series executive producer Leslie Stevens' scripts were talky and unconvincing. This is one of those scripts. However, even in those talky and unconvincing scripts, the visual effects were usually pretty striking. And here, they're pretty striking.What sinks this episode is technical-sounding doubletalk, and a lot of it. Stevens' speculations about the nature of the afterlife, and the science of metaphysics, are genuinely interesting. If he could have stuck more to the point, he would have been more effective.Still, the sets are impressive (the series blew a lot of its budget early on, ironically on its lesser shows), the visual effects are truly eye-catching, and the finale is actually quite dramatically satisfying and even moving.
