Pacing was a little clunky but I otherwise liked the episode.

Was a decent thread-tie, but definitely clunky.

I enjoyed this episode. Although, as a non-american I don't fully understand the reference to the honey candy. Is it just that it is very sticky?

lhx@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

Yeah. So sticky it would pull out fillings and the like. Called Bit O Honey.

As an American, I didn't get it either.

Nice tie in to season 5. So far I'm liking the new season and I enjoyed Kif being a bad ass

I wasn't too impressed with episode one, it felt very tired, and too self congratulatory.

How does ep 2 compare to ep 1?

I disagree. I think the constant self-congratulations were brilliant in rubbing it into all the darn nay-saying media executives. And when coupled with their constant self-degradation; it was chefs-kiss.

For me no.2 one was a bit of an uneven ride starting with the brilliant idea of 20-years-long plot connection but then spoiled with too much random stuff leading nowhere.
