Hunt gets a ride on Molly’s space bus
Episode Summary
On a drift somewhere, Hunt is pursued by alien mercenary monster-things, the Ogami. He hastily boards a space tour bus, points his force lance at its pilot, and tells her to go, go, go.

The space bus
Through the rest of the episode, the tour bus pilot (the gorgeous Molly) and Captain Hunt have a captive and captor relationship as they learn to work together to escape from the pursuing Ogami.

This inevitably happens, of course
Obviously Hunt ends up making out with Molly.

Tyr fights an Ogami…is Ogam the singular?
The Hunt for Hunt
Rommie and Tyr are close behind in the Eureka Maru following Dylan’s trail. Eventually they reunite and return to Andromeda, and Hunt arranges for Molly to attend a newly established High Guard Academy.

The best plot of the episode (but the shortest)
Acceptance
While repairing Andromeda, Beka orders Trance to work with Harper. He’s a bit uneasy at first because he’s not sure he can trust the new Trance, but eventually accepts her.

Thoughts
This episode was dreadful. The Hunt/Molly story was so trite and full of obnoxious banter that’s supposed to be cute; it’s almost sickening how fast Hunt is able to get into Molly’s pants.

Kristin Lehman plays Molly
I liked Molly’s actress in The Killing, and now she’s currently playing the lead role in a detective show; however, as of this writing, she only has two award nominations and one of them is for…this episode.

This inevitably happens, of course
The Rommie/Tyr story was full of dull action scenes (an Andromeda staple), but at least we got a bit of tension and conflict in their working together. Oh, and the antagonists in this episode, the Ogami? Not only are they totally disposable bad guys like the Kalderans, but we never know who hired them in the end. What a waste.

These guys suck!
The only halfway watchable part of this episode was the storyline of Harper trying to get used to the new Trance, but we really needed more scenes devoted to it.
