I liked Rescue more on re-watch, but it's still not my favourite by a long shot.
It got me to read The Portrait of Dorian Grey though, and I quite enjoyed that (and enjoyed the episode more in hindsight of it), so it get bonus points for introducing me to awesome Classic Literature. It also gets points for the Dayna/Tarrant moments, Vila having a moral realization, the Needid Sea Devil, and its creative use of that spiral staircase which shows up in everything the BBC has ever made (I don't know why I'm so amused by that staircase, but I really am. Every. Single. Time.)
It loses points for being incomprehensible and far too convenient.
