My reaction
Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 0/4 (Terrible)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)

Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). It's almost as if they took a cast member with zero writing experience or ability and let him write an episode... Oh, wait, that's exactly what it is. It would be terrible, but it's nice to look at and too fast too get boring.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.0/4 (Indifferent)
