Also kind of wish we learned a little more about the organizations hunting down the "bugs", like how they have one seemingly in control of himself. But it's still the first episode and they're obviously doing some world building in these early episodes so hopefully we'll learn more as it goes along.

Actually, one of the most refreshing things about the first episode was how it took its time introducing everything. These days, toy marketing demands Rider and Sentai introduce way too much in the first episode. This premiere made me feel less like I was being force-fed plastic junk.
