Welcome to the part of 'Relic Hunter Rules', where I give my own personal opinions on the episodes of the second season.
NB: There are some spoilers!
Me & Relic Hunter
I love a day-off from working when I can spend the day relaxing, eating good food and watching re-runs of 'Relic Hunter'! Lully! Lol!

Episode #1: The Put-Back
Not a bad start to the season at all! 'The Put-Back' is an action-packed little episode, which sees Sydney and Nigel in Africa... not searching for a relic... but RETURNING a relic... which unless it's put back (hence the title) very quickly, Sydney's old friend- Ross will continue to be subject to its curse, and eventually die. The curse, by the way, is rapid ageing... and a god's wrath on it's followers... and Ross has got the curse cos he stole the idol! With that explained, you can see the importance of this mission! So, in true 'Relic Hunter' fashion, everything that could possibly go wrong, for our hero and sidekick, goes wrong!
There are some very exciting moments in this episode. Such as Sydney, Nigel and some two-faced, double-crossing... sorry about that... man escaping from some soldiers through a secret passage under the floorboards, where the soldiers are standing. There is also a cool scene, where Nigel must climb onto a moving vehicle whilst being pursued by soldier. Sydney chucking that plank of wood on the soldier is so funny! It's so amateurish... but realistic!
RATING: 8/10 (Good start to the season... although did sizzle down toward the end)
Episode #2: Dagger of Death
Good storyline... good script... well-filmed! This is a decent Relic Hunter episode... with action... comedy... and nice locations!
The pace did disappointingly slow down toward the middle... but picked up at the end with Sydney coming down on an evil cult with her trusty crossbow!
This episode also served as a great introduction to the baddie, who later returns in M.I.A! It was a shame, however that Sydney's old friend couldn't be proved innocent at the end... but hey what can you say!
RATING: 8/10
More reviews coming soon! Promise!
