Psychic Stud

I really enjoyed this cleverly written episode. The group lands on a world where a small population has psychic abilities. There is a psychic Prime Oracle who answers only to the President, and Wade, through dreams of a past life, knows the man being considered as the next Prime Oracle. This episode has several twists and turns that really lures in the viewer. If I were Wade, I would have been tempted to remain as the Oracle First Lady. He was very sexy, and she would have been treated like royalty. The ending was excellent because the new Prime Oracle gives us a hint that the next world they slide into won't be as pleasant. It makes the viewer curious about next week's episode. I consider this one of the best episodes thus far.

Trivia
On Psychic World, a young man from San Francisco had a premonition that U.S. President Abraham Lincoln would be assassinated on April 14, 1865 and was able to prevent John Wilkes Booth from killing him. Lincoln was so grateful and impressed that he created the cabinet post of Prime Oracle, who was responsible for predicting natural and man made catastrophes. By 1996, the Prime Oracle was the most powerful man in the United States while the President was little more than a figurehead.

Goofs
There's a boom mic visible in the mirror's reflection above Wade when she first tries on the red dress. The DVD release digitally removes it, but the ripple it leaves behind is still visible.
