This episode, "lizards", and whatever the fifth one was called, have been my favourite episodes of this series so far. I recently rewatched most of the episodes, and these ones still stood out. I couldn't really tell why until I remembered when I first watched them.
I watched them all while I was absolutely leathered. Collapsed, barely able to see straight, at around 4am. And I REALLY enjoyed them. Got right into them, and wanted to watch them again. All the other episodes, watched them sober... not so good.
I'm obviously not advocating an irresponsible abuse of alcohol, but if you've been as underwhelmed by the episodes so far as I have, I'd advise going absolutely berserk on booze in preparation for the final two episodes*, just to make them as mind bendingly awesome and exciting as possible. It really does work**.
If anyone has any other suggestions as to how you can make average TV seem better, please let me know. Preferably before next monday. It looks like it's going to be a long time before there are any new episodes
to poke holes in and criticize
* probably not such a good idea if you watch the episodes online at work
**But not for the Bionic Woman. No man can drink that much
