Mortal Combat with the El Dorado
Gene and company head to the Lione Lagrange Point and search for the El Dorado, the MacDougall's spaceship. There is lots of interference from solar flares and asteroids that makes the search difficult and tedious.
The El Dorado eventually shows up but it doesn't confront the Outlaw Star directly. It keeps circling around, behind asteroids. It shoots lots of missiles that keep the crew of the Outlaw Star on edge. Aisha encourages Gene to do something.
Gene gives Aisha a gun and a spacesuit and drops her off on an asteroid. She spots the El Dorado, contacts the others, and then the Outlaw Star moves in. The two ships engage in close combat with grappler arms. Gene boards the Eldorado and finds Harry MacDougall.
Harry stalls for time. He tries to hack the Otlaw Star's computer system. Gene figures out he's up to something and destroys the link he is using to hack the Outlaw Star. Harry and his small crew escape. Gene realizes that there wasn't just one El Dorado but two.
The narrated opening is about the MacDougall brothers.
There is a lot of jumping back and forth in time in the early part of the episode. The flashbacks show what happened between the end of the previous episode and the beginning of this one. Things kind of slowed down once the flashbacks were over which kind of made me miss them.
I understand that this is one big story but this show kind of drags. Each episode has its own arc but they aren't very exciting. Honestly, I remembered that this show wasn't as good as Cowboy Bebop. I still wanted to see it again. I guess I only have myself to blame.
