Game Nation

The group lands on a world where a pretty sick and twisted population enjoys watching people compete to the death for millions of dollars. Unfortunately for the group, they land inside the game and must participate to the end while risking life and limb. Something happens to the professor and must be helped by the other three. He doesn't like feeling helpless but learns a valuable lesson in the process. Before sliding, they were able to help another game participant in her lifelong goal. Helping someone else win is just as valuable as winning. This isn't the best episode but definitely worth watching.

Jumping the Shark

The beginning of the end of a great series. It had so much potential.

No wonder John Rhys-Davies left during this season and Sabrina Lloyd left at the end of the season.

One should always trade intelligent, well thought out social ideas for cheap, shallow, elementary school level garbage.

At least the first two seasons were on the right track.

Trivia
As the cyber-soldiers leave their 'lair' while the group rests in the haven, their weapons can be identified by mid-90's Sci-Fi fans as 'Space: Above & Beyond' M-590 Marine rifles (note the scanners on the upper rail) and an 'Earth 2' MagPro rifle.

Goofs
Quinn spends the Game wearing a bandolier full of shotgun shells, but equips himself for combat with a rifle, which he is never shown procuring ammo for.
