Recap and Discussion for Crusade Episode 13 – Appearances and Other Deceits

This is not one of my favorite episodes but John Vickery(Neroon) and Wayne Wilderson were absolutely wonderful! Stephen Furst directed this one as well. The story line gave me the creeps.

Quotes:
Capt. Matthew Gideon: [viewing his new grey red-trimmed uniform in the mirror] I look like a bellhop! (He did!)
Capt. Matthew Gideon: Personal journal, Capt. Matthew Gideon, continuing. It's now three days since our visitors arrived on behalf of Earthgov's political affairs office. There's apparently some concern with how our work here is being perceived back home. They've been assigned to help us. Before their tour is finished, I may have to kill them. Assuming Lt. Matheson doesn't beat me to it.

Questions:
1. Which uniforms did you prefer?
2. Do you think the alien really knew anything or was it just trying to save itself?
3. What did you think of Max finally betraying the fact that he is human and has a conscience?
4. Did you like this episode?
