I should say after the first episode of this series that I was expecting something a bit more engaging in this second part. I ended up partially satisfied, and partially not. First of all, it would seem that in order to get this series going, that there needs to be a certain amount of actual action, and it does get going but only after a couple of unecessary plugs for Canada's science fiction network and one of Canada's biggest comic book store chains. Seeing as the lead in is about a minute long and the end credits are about two minutes long, this makes the five minute running time pretty short for any real action
It is at least nice to see some of the action though, as well as the return of the Blue Fox (this should not be surpising considering the episode name. She is the femme fatale which could hold the series together and keep some interest in it, yet her role here is kind of small.
I was impressed as a native of Halifax that some action took place there, but also disappointed that there was actually nothing indicative of the city as all that they show is a warehouse (for Toronto they show the CN Tower at least.) In terms of this series having any wide reaching appeal, I think it might be a bit too Canadian centric (I don't know if Canadians would even get the donair joke or recognize the Canadian bands.) I still hope this series survives and maybe there are some good things ahead, but there needs to be more substance and less hype. So far the entire two episodes could have fit easily in four comic book pages.
Here it is if anyone is interested:
