I'm glad the pace finally picked up so that the plot can actually get a sense of urgency, even if half of it is because of some glowie sideplot because some triple letters are scared about being exposed for testing drugs on criminals when the vast majority of the people in the world could die
the earlier episodes about exploring the ideal of skinner were VERY hit and miss, since they were only vaguely character episodes, but I do like the variety of missions they did. That being said, because there was the general sense of "hey you're on a time crunch" it felt like wasted time, especially since it seems like literally nobody else is trying to do anything to find Skinner.
they're fine characters for what they're doing, but, at the same time, I feel like they could've just cut things out, made the timeframe a week to Total Hapna Death, and made a movie because there's only a few tangental things that actually traveled about the "mystery" of Skinner
Like they just added this Chinese batman thing with some multi-personality assassin complex tied to Axel's backstory and I guess it's going to be relevant but, maybe like the rest of the characters, it might also not?
