SUMMARY
The crew of the Starbug
encounter the psychotic, multiple personality Legion, a
psyche absorbing android who plots to imprison our heroes
and keep them as company for the rest of their lives.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Brimming over with
sparkling witticisms and typically silly situations,
Legion was a vast improvement over the rather dull
Psirens. The extended mealtime sequence which ends in
mayhem as the Dwarfers attempt to manipulate their food
with Mimosian anti-matter chopsticks is one of the sixth
season's best moments and Kryten's repeated attempts to
render his crewmates unconscious is slapstick at its
finest.
