I really enjoyed this, the scientific ideas were fascinating, the aliens were unique and I adore Teela Brown and want to follow her on her adventures. Honestly, Louis Wu can go fly a kite, just give me a whole series on the “walking Improbability Drive” that is Teela. 😅 I also want to see how the group’s relationships continue to grow and mold around each other. I’ll definitely be continuing the series.

There are dry moments and of course the expected 70’s view of the sexes, but I honestly thought Wu’s attitude towards Teela was always more a self-own than an affront to Teela. My girl ain’t got time for that. She’s just putting up with your sorry ass to get to where she needs to be, grandpa.
