Synopsis

K9 is using the space-time manipulator to try to recall events before his arrival and regeneration. Gryffen and Starkey discover him linked to the machine. This creates a feed-back and K9 loses all control of his memory and programming. He becomes a danger to everyone and starts his self destruct programme.

This is a clip show, and it's not even a good one.

There's a narrative reason given for the clip show, something's happened to K9 and they're trying to get his memory back, but wow does this suck.

Half the time the clips just come from Starkey or Gryphen just saying something random and then it cutting to a clip that's maybe tangentially related if you squint.

And then the vast majority of the clips also include events that K9 wasn't present for (out of order, defragging, not in the dream realm), so the framing device doesn't make sense.

Also as a final note, I can't believe they remind us that the original design was in there for like a minute, and say that he 'really looked like a dog' back then. How can they say the original is more like a dog when the redesign was so clearly done to make him more dog-like.


The infamous Mind Snap, which I can only describe as audacious and unearned. Clip show episodes are generally contrived and unnecessary anyway, but in a series that has taken so long to find its feet, the idea of presenting the audience with disconnected “highlights” from the series so far is nuts!
