I know I am so late posting this, but the episode opened to me better on second viewing, thanks to also the mute button, which allowed me to see the caption text; which brings me to another complaint: Way too loud background music; I cannot make out what the people are saying with all this "mood" music blaring... I guess it's just me, being not an English speaking originally...anyway, the second viewing showed me, that there wasn't that much running that I I thought... but I realized that it still had too much stuff; the Donna being saved episode could have been a great episode in itself... and the the rest of the story might have been sharper with just as one episode.
