Inferno - Episode 5

The drilling penetrates the Earth's crust. Stahlman becomes a Primord. I have to say, the Primord makeup and effects are some of the best in the series to date, if not in the entire run of the show. Really well done. The transformation of Benton is very effective, especially considering it's sort of a regular character who's changing. We have only one scene in the "real" world this episode, where the likeable Sir Keith is heading back to the drill center and gets in an accident... the one that killed him in the parallel world. Oh no! The doom and gloom is thick and heavy. I don't like the soap opera-ish "Oh, Greg, I'm frightened!" line from Petra, always sounds so fakey. I wonder what happened to that Primord the Doctor faced in the cells last episode? He could easily bend bars, so he could free himself no problem. Where did he go? Is he just running around? Hmm.
