The Tick (2016) 1.02

Where's My Mind

Arthur gets shot by Miss Lint's henchmen but the suit protects him. The Tick returns and fights with Miss Lint. He throws Arthur out the window. Arthur drops three stories, lands on his back, and survives. Miss Lint gets summoned by her boss and abandons her mission.

The Tick catches up to Arthur, who wants to return the suit. Arthur steals a poncho and puts it on over the suit. Some thugs stop him. He offers to return the suit but the Tick refuses to let Arthur do it and sends the thugs packing.

Miss Lint meets with Ramses, her boss. She has a flashback to a meeting she had with the Terror, years before. He gave her the bracelets she now wears, which help her to control her powers.

Arthur starts to think that the Tick is just a figment of his imagination. That theory goes out the window when he gets home and is confronted by Dot, his sister, who sees the Tick standing next to him. 

Arthur convinces Dot that everything is okay and that he is going to go into his apartment and get some rest. She leaves and he goes inside, without the Tick. Arthur later sneaks back out and goes for a walk. He is approached by the same thugs he saw earlier. They want the suit. He says he is ready to give it to them but then a masked super-powered character shows up and kills the thugs.

Thoughts

I don't understand what makes Arthur so naïve as so think that the thugs aren't going to kill him in the process of recovering the suit. My guess is that he just doesn't understand the nature of bad guys in shows like this one.

I'm liking the show a little more after this episode although it is pretty clear now that this show is being played more seriously than the 2001 incarnation.
