QUOTES

Sinbad: There's something about that man I really don't like.
Maeve: He's sensitive, poetic, and knows how to treat a woman with respect. 'Course you don't like him.
 

Doubar: So, is this expedition of a professional interest, little brother, or are your feelings for Maeve coloring your judgment? {crew laughs}
Sinbad: I have no more feelings for her than for any other member of my crew. As captain, I'm very concerned, naturally, when one of my crew members starts acting foolishly. That's all.
Doubar: Naturally. {crew laughs some more}

POINTS TO PONDER

I always get the feeling that this episode should have aired much later in the series. It does a great job continuing (or starting) the Maeve/Sinbad jealousy factor… though, honestly, establishing it so early on doesn’t seem necessary. It would have been better served after The Eye Of Kratos, once Maeve has had her turn on the jealousy-go-round, and Sinbad needs a spin. Plus, it would have been a perfect answer to the “she’s a part of my crew” response Sinbad gives to Talia in The Eye Of Kratos… since here, we all know he’s in denial. ^_^
