The issue of Alex's overconfidence and recklessness builds to a crescendo here, but it's horribly overdone and makes him come across as unnecessarily unpleasant. Anck Su Namun really can't carry an entire episode as the main villain, and of course she's after a MacGuffin. On the other hand, I find it highly stimulating to see Alex very close to the peak of his Manacle and Medjai skills, and he does have a pretty decent extended fight with Anck, so that's squeezed an extra star out of me for this one.
