Over-the-top, paranoid, with time for some character development, "Allegiance" has what the previous shoot'em up episodes had not: sense, purpose, stability.
Chandler is back to the ship and this creates ripples all through its crew. Slattery is recovering. Burk is going crazy. Fletcher meets an old friend. And 'trying to beat C-3PO's mastery of languages' Sasha gets a chance to practice one.
It is a slow-burner, centered on the crew (instead than on the new and very cheap bad people). And it is the best for it. Burk's moment of paranoia or Chandler meeting his old crew gives the show time to breathe, and to think (even if Chandler's meetings with Sasha smell). Chandler has to find himself again and "Allegiance" does a good job in giving him his purpose and his personality back. Of course, we also get the typical over the top moments, but, hey, that is what this show is about.
