Thoughts

This episode, especially towards the end, felt messy. There's a lot happening at once. Not everything makes logical sense. In some cases there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to explain why some things are happening. It feels like there is just too many things to cover and not enough time to give them all the proper treatment.
