The Tick (2016) 1.07

Tale from the Crypt

The Tick can't find Arthur. He finally checks Arthur's apartment. He finds Overkill and Dot there but Arthur is nowhere to be found. The trio go back to Overkill's sentient boat and come up with a plan. Tick stays in the boat. Overkill and Dot go looking for signs of Arthur in a cemetery.

Arthur is chained up. The Terror plays the drums. Arthur escapes with some help from Ms. Lint, although it turns out she is doing it because the Terror told her to. Arthur gets out of his cell by using the key that Ms Lint gave him. He finds the flying suit and puts it on. 

Dot Finds a sign of Arthur. The Tick comes flying in and breaks into the Terror's underground lair, which is below the cemetery. Dot stays outside to keep watch while the Tick and Overkill go looking for Arthur in the underground lair.

The Terror and Ms. Lint leave. They blow up the underground lair while the Tick and Overkill are still down there. Arthur had already made it to the surface with Dr. Karamazov, the scientist who built the suit.

Thoughts

The Tick was in this episode but he seemed to play third fiddle to Arthur on the one hand and Dot and Overkill on the other. Speaking of Dot and Overkill, are they attracted to one another? I get that impression.

I'm not sure what the Terror is up to. Is he just trying to have fun or cause misery or will his actions actually lead somewhere? I'm not sure. I sometime find it hard to understand what the Terror is saying. He has a very raspy voice.

I like the show better now than I did during the first few episodes. It has some interesting characters and it has me guessing where it will go next. I'm also liking it more than the 2001 incarnation of the show.
