Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, ). Well, at least the god-like powers are the result of advanced technology, and not some ESP nonsense, so you can believe that the good guys might possibly win through their own agency. But of course they don't. It's just the same old waiting-for-the-deus-ex-machina bullshit again. One of my least favorite episodes.
