Was staring at the screen too hard during the brainwashing sequence. But obviously not hard enough - still think Caroline Holdaway is a terrible actress!

Now I was thinking: if one can put so much information into someone's head, wouldn't it be possible to pull out much info out of someone's head? Does the Professor have a reverse method? Well nothing has worked on no 6 yet Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Coin Gordon as No 2. He was previously No 2 in A, B and C. I wondered why I remembered his voice! He's been in loads of stuff. Even DW. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

The control room's "centrifuge" is a great, top weird part of the scenery. (I missed to rewatch the previous eps, so it is all re-new to me) *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Intriguing episode, but let down by the ending. Why did it have to end like that?

Terrible cliched ending! That's what happens when you use stereotypical characters and scenarios to get people to think outside the stereotypes...you can't know things you don't know. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
