I really enjoyed this one. Many times it was just too easy to predict what was going to happen. This didn't take away the entertainment value, though. But when Laurel and Jedd were going to the supply area...well, you probably knew what was going to happen, too. And the drama music that sounded when Laurel and Dan were going to go to the ship's diner to celebrate...gosh, you just knew a disaster was looming! The one big surprise for me was the ending. It was the opposite from what I expected.

On another note, it seemed that poor Dr. Dan Crane had too many advisors. I tried thinking about what each one represented. Here is my take (I'm probably spelling everyone's names incorrectly...):

Nurse Laurel Blair: The devoted believer...the kind of person we all need in our lives.
Ziorna: The supernateral...things are not as they seem.
Dr. Stewart Courtney: Told from his voice, a realist and unafraid to speak his opinion.
Dr. Wexler: Insights to subconscious, ally for Dr. Coutney and Laurel.
Jedd Gantt: The dark force that tempts us.
Himself: Conflicted, desparate, ready to try extremes, sometimes his own worst enemy.

My favorite part about this story is that we are left to our own opinion regarding the reason for the evil actions that Dr. Crane demonstrated after the microsurgery: Was it due to his subconscious, as Dr. W asserted, or was it due to Jedd's curse, as Ziona asserted and we are possibly led to believe during much of the story?
