Watching this episode was truly a pleasure! Ivan Dixon was given one of his rare opportunities to take center-stage. Let's face it, the majority of episodes have one or more of the Heroes masquerading as either German civilian or military. Non- Caucasians in Nazi Germany were few-and-far-between, thus unfortunately, restricting Kinchloe's employment outside of the Stalag. Kinch, with a few exceptions, normally provides the voice of sanity among the Heroes. Here Ivan has been given the chance to perform beyond his typical roles and really shines.
The only negative that I have about this episode is Carter's spy scene, which seemed redundant to me. It seems to me that the same information could have been far more safely acquired using the coffee pot receiver. I feel that this entire scene was only added to give Hovis something to do. Without this one scene, I would have likely rated this episode a perfect TEN.
