Review
Backup
team of Thomas and Springer return with a solid B-movie serial story which
would do Alex Raymond proud. The character of Alex Randall is realized
well and comes across with a real sense of tragedy and conflict. The story
is elaborate, save for the aliens who are out tech'ed by S.H.I.E.L.D. The last-minute
reprieve in itself was well-done, however in the context of the entire
series its beginning to get repetitious.
