Not nearly as bad as I feared, 2 September 2015
After reading the other reviews for Reply Box No. 666, I feared the worst. Honestly, it wasn't that bad. Maybe I went into it expecting a disaster, but despite a couple of serious flaws, I enjoyed it.
In this episode, Craig Stirling heads to Jamaica to impersonate a dead explosives expert. Nemesis wants Stirling to find out who wanted something blown-up, what they wanted blown-up, and why they wanted it blown-up. For his trouble, Stirling gets thrown out of a plane. Fortunately, he has Sharron and Richard are on hand to search for him.
A couple of things I liked: 1. Unlike the previous episode, Reply Box No. 666 doesn't focus almost exclusively on Stirling. The other two Champions are given more to do. 2. Sharron's hypnosis scene was pretty cool. I enjoy these scenes where we learn about new powers.
A couple of things I didn't like: 1. Sharron's come-on to Jules was very unrealistic. Given his purpose for being in Jamaica, he should have seen right through her. 2. George Murcell as Nikko - I don't think I need to elaborate.
Overall, a fairly average episode that I'm rating a 5/10.
