Some very fun ideas here, but this felt like two separate episodes to be completely honest. The idea of The Department faking things for publicity is a fun idea and could've had a whole episode about it, and the Bounty Hunter with K-9 worrying that he's murdered someone was also a fun idea, they get sort of smushed together though and the episode really does suffer for it.

😐2️⃣ = NOT ENJOYABLE!

Barking through time and space, one adventure at a time!

“HE’S NOT BOBA FETT, HE’S A VERY NAUGHTY BOY!”

Things go downhill from here.

Why do they put these weird Departement Robomen into every single episode since they never do anything substantial?

Drake is another terrible character. He shall be known as Smug Face henceforth. His scenes with Villain Mother make no sense. And the scenes with the three lead children are even worse than before.

The titular bounty hunter is like a mix of a terrible children’s show character and a supervillain. He is overwritten and overplayed—pretty much Zaroff (see The Underwater Menace) levels of bad but not in a good way.

Between the time-travelling bounty hunter plot and the rogue ferris wheel threat, this is probably the stupidest episode yet. The latter is resolved halfway through, leaving pretty much nothing for the second part.

The CGI leash looks horrendous! And it’s broken by a cup of coffee—that’s stupid!

I’m starting to see a pattern in these stories. An alien menace turns up out of nowhere, then attempts to hunt down or kidnap a member of the team. At least this story had two sets of baddies to pass the plot between. It's a shame the Australian equivalent of Andy Pryer was not working on K9, because a really strong cast could somewhat lift this script. It doesn’t help that most of the actor’s energy is being put into cod British accents.
