Well, I just watched Episode 18, the one with the infamous "Flying Squirrel Syndrome" and that certainly was… something.

Aside from all the random crap that made this episode enjoyable as hell I really don’t get why they chose a flying squirrel for their monster inspiration. First of all, the monster looks and sounds nothing like a flying squirrel, the suit looks like one of those wacky Gremlin mutants from "The New Batch" and it neighs like a horse. A horse.

And then there's the fact that everything this monster does is really vampire-esque, so I don’t get why the monster wasn't simply a bat. That would've made way more sense.

But trying to bring reason into this episode is nearly impossible so sure, why not, flying squirrel monster it is.

Aside from that, I must say I'm quite glad that Joe the Haze seems to be a regular side character now. I thought they would abandon him like the special ops agent from Black but Joe actually sticks around for now. I like him, the actor makes those really goofy faces but he’s rather likeable, and a sidekick for RX to work with functions much better than the same old monologues.
