Wrong End of a Leash
Action/Adventure, and just very very cool. I love it when people make up original, entertaining aliens with realistic environments. What Stealth Dragon does here is create a *world* and really run with it. Sheppard's voice here is very cannon-accurate and some of the visuals (not particularly poetic, but incredibly *visceral*) are breathtaking.
I did love journey to the center of the earth and the lost world and pretty much all of the classic adventure/scifi of the turn of the century, and this story really captures the epicness of it. It's not a story about character growth or thrills or even particularly deft plotting, it's about an aspect of sci-fi that I think episodic television seems to miss - discovery and wonder.
