The Tick (2016) 1.05

Fear of Flying

Arthur gets the wings out and starts to fly but he had trouble controlling the suit. He calls Dot and gets her to put the Tick on the phone. Arthur explains the situation and that he needs help. He doesn't want Dot to know what's going on.

The Tick and Dot get in her car and go out looking for Arthur. Overkill becomes aware that Arthur is flying over the city but he doesn't know who he is at first. Ramses and several of his men are using a tracking device to follow Arthur's flight path.

Arthur is pulled out of the sky by Overkill while he is trying to land near a water tower. The Tick and Dot arrive near the water tower moments later. The Tick and Overkill almost get into a fight but then Ramses shows up with his men. Overkill and the Tick fight with Ranses and his men.

The good guys win the fight and take Ramses, who is unconscious, with them. Dot wants Arthur to give back the suit. She's concerned for his safety. He refuses and she leaves. Arthur goes with the Tick and Overkill to Overkill's boat.

Miss Lint goes home to clean up. After showering and getting dressed she walks out into her apartment and finds the Terror waiting for her.

Thoughts

This was a good episode. I can see things starting to come to together and take shape. Arthur is starting to find his purpose. This show has a very different feel than the 1999 version of the show. The only characters that are in both shows are the Tick and Arthur. The set up in the earlier version of the show feels like a parallel dimension of this show.
