This one felt like a very lazy animation episode. Lots of the dialogue shots were cut away from mouths which I found odd, like just a top two thirds head so they don't have to animate a mouth, and Annie covering her mouth from the frame while speaking felt uncharacteristic. And then the really low resolution ground texture near the end, and the people walking around the ports at the end looking like Age of Empires 1 resolution, just pixelated blocks moving around.
I guess episodes like this had to take a cut to animate some of the more important ones. Hopefully the best are still coming, but it's still in a post rumbling slowdown and might pick up in the movie.
As far as the story, yeah, we're getting along with starting to tie together both sides, however reluctantly right now. I was still more with Jean's side than Maggath's, half his argument about things so long ago no one here was responsible for, and the other half was about their responses to Marley trying to kill them all. I think that's not just because these are the characters we grew up with, one is inherited sin and the other is what these people themselves did, the rest is how their victims responded.
