Ok, this episode is good but it feels like they are dragging out this set up for the finale. From what I've heard, the finale is a normal length episode (hopefully 30 mins ish) so I can't help but feel it will be rushed. To compare to a phenomenal show: Andor, what these set up episodes lack is any character growth or developments which is hard when the episodes are so short. We've seen much of the development needed with Crosshair, Omega and Emeri but if your episode is just set up you have to have some substance to avoid constant set ups.
Realistically, they have to tie up Rampart being found, the zilobeast reveal, kids escaping with Omega, emeri helping echo and the batch getting in somehow??
I still feel we'll see some deaths in the final episode but I'm less sure on that than last week.
Anyway, discussing the episode itself - it was really good set up but lacking much plot progression. Obviously stuff happens but it feels like more shuffling of the puzzle pieces rather than any progress on the puzzle being made (to use a made up metaphor).
Omega's stuff was cool but encapsulated the episode as she didn't even escape or reveal her plan or anything!
I liked the stuff with Echo and he was the only one moving the episode forward (again ridiculous that on a top secret high security base, a clearly out of place storm trooper with a screw on hand on every data pad possible isn't picked up at all - and what does that scanner for the lab even do then?? Check you're a person??)
The visuals were good (not as good as last week) but the music at the start was very nice and got the episode off to a bang. I was thinking to myself how seriously their security was at the beginning but that became non existent later on.
Overall, despite my numerous complaints, this was still a fun and engaging episode if lacking in the plot progression we wanted. 1 EPISODE TO GO!!!!
