I only gave this episode 5 stars because of past performance by this series. Most of the previous episodes had good stories that were well told. But this episode was only about half bareable, so it gets a five. That's five out of respect and zero for this episode.
This program, up until this episode had consistantly over-performed. It's been steadilly improving from the first season. With the last two or three seasons packed with episodes that deliver movie quality plots, characters, stunts, and effects. And that's not easy to do in something like 42 mins every week.
Then we get to this episode. I think the producers have lost their fricking minds.
Out of nowhere at some random point in this episode they starting cutting in an out with whole scenes done in low resolution 1970's level comic book style animation. I guess they're hoping to open up a new demographic for this show. But for my money, they're alienating some other demos.
I didn't just find it distracting (it was), by half-way thru I was getting more and more angry with every cut to the low grade animation. I suppose will consider this hip I get to differ. I hope this isn't a trend.
You won't find any spoilers in this review. I was too upset with the format of the episode to keep track of enough details of the story to pass them along here.
I was grateful to see this program was givn at least another season going forward. But if they keep this up. I'll be moving on.
