Jeremy's Review |
|
An episode with a
strong moral center focusing on the importance of mental strength
and determination over fatigue and despair. Jack's battles against
the various hostile inhabitants of the mountain are choreographed
well, most notably his free-falling fight with the rock monster.
Weighing the episode down are the countless shots of climbing and
use of footage from previous episodes during the final act. Even
more jarring are the shots from the previous episode. It's a slow but
otherwise solid episode hurt by a few missteps. B
