Well, I'm just glad the Cloud wasn't the last loser standing... I like that ep. for the power animals, the living nebula, and the introduction (I think) of Chez Sandrine. My third fav s1 ep after Caretaker and Cathexis.
One of my favorite things about season 1 of this show was unusual concepts like the living nebula here. Seems like space dwelling lifeforms were a thing for its inaugural year, snd I loved that. (I am counting "ELOGIUM" and "TWISTED", since both were produced in season 1.) It helped make the Delta Quadrant that much more mysterious and different.
(A funny observation, Cosmic Mouse. You seem to have a soft spot for episodes beginning with "C" for this series. lol)
