I know the writers have tried to avoid using that device to solve problems, but if it is done properly and used sporadically it will be effective. Even Sara has refrained from going so far as intentionally predict an event that will happen to convince anyone she is from the future. I would have thought she was going to crack and start up predicting the future but she hasn't. Angela does try to alter events, but she hasn't tried to convince anyone of anything. In this episode, Angela alters the course of a particular event surrounding a hit and run by her father in the original timeline. This event tormented her for five long years; something created by a horse not a person. Someone on one of the boards made mention that accident the first time around couldn't not have been by a horse, and I believe the writers pay enough attention to detail that they leave it up to us to decide or wonder about what really happened the first time around. If it was a horse the first time around, then it does make sense that Angela couldn't find the body following the trail of blood. My dad has hit deer before and the occasional one gets up and limps off after a few minutes. Anyway, it was left open for us to think about it on our own.

Neil and Chuck provide for some of the comic relief in this episode, which was a good thing to see. I always thought Peter and Christopher could be a great source of humor for the show and the actors and writers have not let me down once. The whole towel bath idea and not bathing was played just right. "I take towel baths because as astronauts it is something we become accustom to." A priceless comment at the right time, Christopher is developing an excellent sense of comic timing and that can only help add to the flavor of an episode. Although I must say it was Leslie Silva, Sara, who stole the show with scenes with the workout weatherman. I don't need to say anymore, because I could not do it any justice. With the right amount of humor in each episode, it does help lighten up the atmosphere and get us set for some dramatic tension. In this age, not too many shows can lighten up otherwise dreary and melodramatic episodes, let alone do it successfully.

I enjoyed this episode for many reasons and overall it was a thoughtful and refreshing escape from reality for an hour. We finally saw a real, live sentient, fantastic special f/x, and high quality acting and writing. What more could we ask for? It was different and a little slow, but in a good way and everyone did a fine job. This is the workout weatherman, be sure to keep an eye out on those bright skies!
