   Yep, there was the Deckard chasing Zhora scene in the final episode, along   
   with a Tyrell encounter.   
      
   It started well, then from about the middle of episode 1 to the middle of   
   episode 3 I was like "wtf?", then it managed to recover itself from there. I   
   guess the question is whether 2 episodes of not so great stuff are made up   
   for by half an episode, along with a recycled plot (or plots).
