What’s that
saying about best intentions? Something something something and they’re worth
two in the bush? Or they rush in where angels fear to tread, or they’re the
lowest form of wit…I don’t know. But there’s some saying about best intentions
and that they’re always useless because something always gets in the way.
The thing
that got in my way after just one retrospective recap was my hard drive having
a meltdown. And also a little bit* of laziness. But now I have a shiny new
computer and a can do attitude** and I’m ready to recap another episode from
the vault.
(*A lot of
laziness.)
(**Never in
my entire life have I ever had a can do attitude. Including now***.)
(***Especially
now.)
I’ve
decided to do season five’s Chimera
because I loves me a bottle episode, and also because it contains a completely
ridiculous argument about a freckle. So let’s go.
The episode
opens as it intends to continue, with eeriness and fogginess and surrounded by
water. A ship (I assume a US Navy-type ship, this being a show about the US
Navy [occasionally]) makes its way through some serious fog as some ominous
music plays, and if I were a sailor on that ship I reckon that music would give
me a heads up that badness was afoot. AND IT IS (spoiler alert).
