I'd say this was arguably the worst episode of the series, but I don't know who would argue it isn't. Maybe people who really, really, REALLY hate DALD.
Oddly enough, JC appeals to the part of me that loves ridiculous things like Universal Soldier and Gilligan's Island. It's nowhere near one of my favourite eps, but as my favourite eps all tend to be universally depressing, I like the happy ending, bright colours and badness of this ep. Feels good that they come back for John and that the womrn get to do some awesome saving-the-menfolk.
My mother's thoughts on the episode are similar to yours; she's always trying to get me to rewatch it, pointing out the good, but I just can't sit through most of it. But I do love the idea of the episode, and that Aeryn & Zhaan save the day.
