I must admit I did not really expected to see Gauron again but I was hoping for it I think Episode 13 is one of the best of the series. It contains everything that is good about the series.

Every episode of this series so far has been really funny and it gets more action packed as it gets further into the series. One thing I think is a nice touch on the DVD's is that when the copyright warning is on at the begining each DVD has a different character explaining how you may use the DVD. On this one Captain Tessa tells use if we break the copyright she will send a cruise missile down our chimneys.
