Pretty good episode. Fun way to start off season three.

We start in a laboratory where Dr. Elizabeth Porter has spend the last 12 years raising and working with rats in a stressed environment conducting a pesticide experiment in the works of enhancing there intelligence. The plan is in fact working, but, its turning the rats into a race of smart super creatures which soon has Porter and her colleagues fighting for there lives and humanities. This was a fun way to start off season three, I've always been a fan of rat horror and watching the little stop motion rats run around was great. The twist or impending doom set up at the end was a nice touch to.

Nifty episode

Warning: Spoilers
Scientist Dr. Elizabeth Porter (nicely played by Carol Lynley) has spent twelve years raising lab rats in a stressed environment. Said lab rats turn out to be a whole lot more than she bargained for.

Director Jeffrey Wolf keeps the enjoyable and engrossing story moving along at a constant pace as well as builds a good deal of tension. Lynley displays an admirable amount of nuance and restraint in her role; she receives sound support from Victor Raider-Wexler as the nerdy Dr. Robert Winston, Scott Weir as disapproving superior Keith, and Kathleen McCall as ill-fated lab assistant Gina. The puppet rodents look pretty cool. The clever script by Neal Marshall Stevens provides a grim central message on the perils of messing with mother nature and ends on a chilling dark note. An on the money show.
