3.0

I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the first two episodes. The majority of the episode is spend making rather obvious references to the Hunger Game books.
Zachary's writing and descriptions are excellent, as always, and the action was fast paced and easy to follow.
This episode does have an interesting twist, that shows some of the weaknesses of Kal's rather god-like powers of the nanites he possesses.

The episode brings up some interesting moral questions and their ramifications, and gives us a deeper view of Kal's own moral stance and character.

However, the simplistic wrap up at the end felt like a bit of a cop-out. It made the whole thing feel like a throw-away episode.
