Fire in the Sky

"Fire in the Sky" has an interesting premise, but the episode lacks the ambition to take full advantage of it. I don't suppose that comes as much of a surprise, as "Transformers" isn't remembered for its grand storytelling. What it is remembered for is its robot fisticuffs, which we do get here, but apart from a brief one on one between Optimus and Megatron, it's all pretty bland. And then the end--which I won't spoil here-- left me shaking my head and saying "Wait. What?".

In some ways "Fire in the Sky" is the worst kind of episode. It's not good, but nor is it bad. The merits of the former are obvious, but the latter at least evokes a response that is stronger than a stifled yawn.
