Recap and discussion for Crusade Episode 11 – The Rules of the Game

Since I am 2 days later already, I am going to cheat and post a recap from another site.

( ”Recap” )

I really like this episode as I do most all the Crusade eps. I like Gary Cole. Max is a hoot and Sarah as a badass is just wonderful. I really would have loved to see where they were going with the show… we know the end result but I know the cure wasn’t the main thing.

Quotes:
Gideon: Plato once said that for everything that exists, there is a perfect form of it somewhere. A perfect Human being, a perfect chair, a perfect stick; so that everything is a Shadow of that one perfect form. Now, if we follow that train of thought, that means that somewhere in the universe there exists the perfect form of an absolute and complete idiot. And he left here an hour ago.

Max Eilerson: The term is "prodigy." Seven letters, three syllables. I can see why it might give you problems.

Questions:
1. Did the Gideon/Lochley romance seem a bit contrived? I thought they were funny together but romance, nah.
2. Did you expect Max to be so protective of his ex? His cat?
3. I wonder how Max knew that Sarah could keep Cynthia safe?
4. Did “the most holy” sound like a Shadow or Vorlon to you? Maybe an emissary like Morden?
