It would have been a 9 if I’d been able to shift the mental image of Sissix as Barney the dinosaur with a ruff of feathers. And Rosemary as Nell from NCIS Los Angeles. The idea of those two, erm, coupling was worth at least a point off.

Not sure I’ll be in any hurry to read the sequel, but I had a fine time with this. It is rare to find a space opera that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It deserves praise for that alone.
