    I think it was an episode that exposed the biggest flaw of this series which is a breakneck pacing coupled with dialogues that are not easy to follow. It didn’t bother me in action-packed episodes because action kind of demands that, so it doesn’t feel out of place. But this one was mostly just talking, so that fast pacing stands out. That being said, I still enjoyed it, especially the court scene. With the dead eyes and the way Major talked, I got the impression that it was the Puppet Master surfacing at that moment. I can’t wait for the season finale, and at the same time I’m a little sad the show already ends next week.

      It had a kind of opposite effect for me. Sure it was still trying to go the same break neck speed the entire series is going, but this episode finally gave me time to breathe lol. I was also able to appreciate the visuals more because of the slower scenes.
