When Sam woke up he saw and heard Al sleeping on the imaging chamber floor, which means that he left the imaging chamber powered up which in effect wasted money. Ca-Ching!

Never thought of it that way, but you make a good point!

An episode that definitely has its moments, but nothing really special. Kinda forgettable, like someone said before. The funniest part was when Sam sees that guy in the bar mixing all those drinks to make his "tea K.O." (T.K.O.?) and then everyone starts throwing that dry ice ball at each other until the drink gets to him and then when he drinks it he removes a toothpick from his mouth or something.

Some of the characters were a bit one-dimensional.

My rating: Fair. One I always try to avoid or leave it until the end.

I enjoyed the training scenes and the fight scenes. The rest of it was just "there." The whole premise about betting on fights and calling rounds was confusing at first. I liked the fact that they wrote Dixie as a not-ditzy blonde; they actually gave her character a little depth.

I did not like the way Al behaved in this one. I've had the same noisy neighbor problem - unmuffled dirt bike all day when I worked at night. Most days, I averaged 2-3 hours of sleep, tops - but I never had the urge to just lie down in the floor and go to sleep in random places. It just seemed that the writers were trying too hard to try to insert some "comedy" into this one.

Fight scenes bump it up a notch, so I'm going with "Good" on this one.

A middle of the road episode, this one. I actually really do enjoy the story, as I've always been interested in boxing. Guy Stockwell is amusing throughout. Just a shame he didn't get chance to have a scene with Dean. I also really like the two female leads. Even though they're radically different, both Sister Angela and Dixie are among my favourite female characters of season 1. The episode does have a significant flaw, though...and that's a lack of Al.

Al is badly underused here. The scenes with Al telling Sam about his noisy neighbour are the highlights of the episode, but he only has four proper scenes in this episode, and the last two are both too short (although I did enjoy his last minute appearance at the fight). For some reason, this is also like a forgotten episode to me at times. All other season 1 episodes stand out to me for either good or bad reasons, but this one is just middle of the road, really.

My rating. Average. A good premise that ultimately fails to deliver its potential.
