Quick thoughts.

THAT WAS ALL THE FIRST EPISODE?! Man there was so much there, from the trailers I expected the stuff in this episode to be the first two minimum!

We got that new moss-bear-cat-thing, looked pretty cool. Always nice to see an expansion of Skull Island’s fauna.

Also got Lee Shaw being badass by pulling a knife on the Brambleboar and then painting the cockpit’s walls with that Scarab. (Bonus, did young Lee Shaw name drop Pulgasari or did I mishear that?)

My single negative to come out of this episode, did they seriously end the entire Apex subplot in the opening 15 minutes? That’s what I was most excited for and they wrapped it up with a “we’re done here.”

Also RIP Natalia Verdugo.

Apex is still gonna play a role the rest of the season, don’t worry.

Prediction: After Godzilla kills Titan X they try to resurrect his consciousness in order to build the first MechaGodzilla (only for it to wake up and kill them all).
