I just do not understand this kind of writing. There were some legitimately good ideas in here. There were some good scenes, but the pacing and several key writing decisions brought it from like an 8 to a 5.5-6.
It was about 2-3 episodes too long with some really really stupid "twists" thrown in towards the back half which were completely unnecessary from a writing perspective. Like when they're story boarding this, or looking at what makes a cohesive story, who says, yeah let's add in two episodes worth of absolute idiot plot decision making on behalf of the cast. The craziest part to me is the story would have flowed perfectly without it and everything could have been wrapped up with a neat little bow.
