When it comes to writing, there are two things you need to get right, set up of certain elements, ans paying those things you set up off. This episode does neither neatly and definitely could have benifited from further planning and edits to strengthen this episode's story. I won't get into spoilers but there are certain points in this episode that people or events appear suddenly, without warning, with barely a mention in the previous episode or further back in the season. And there are certain things that aren't paid off, with longer story lines left haning or ended in blink and you'll miss it moments or lamp shaded away by a line of exposition. This happened alot and it made the episode quite an interesting task to follow and at many points all semblence of caus and effect was lost and things just happened. It just felt like i was getting constant wiplash, the episode just too stuffed, doing way to much all at once. Still I am glad that at least certain plot threads built up in the two season before this episode get addressed. Even if it's with just a lamp shaded expositions sentence. It's a landing alright, a wibbly wobbly landing, but a landing. All I hope is that next season the narrative points are structured and plotted out more than the sometimes 'fly by the seat of your pants' writing style that this episode has. I think some may enjoy this but I do not. I think a bit more planning would have benefited the narrative stramlining the episode into a fun coherant narrative. There are hints of a good episode in here and or just saddens me that it is buried under so much fwomp.
