[Switchblade]

Man, I don't know what happened in the writer's room, but Drive as a show has finally got its tie tightened. This was another great episode, even with the lackluster fight choreography in the big brawl near the end. The mystery around Shinnosuke's dad is getting increasingly interesting, so much so that I no longer mind how much this plot came out of nowhere about a month ago. I'm also very intrigued by what's going on with Gou now that he seems to have gone full Kaixa. Really, pretty much everything on the show is working for me now - I'm even enjoying the SCU and their antics. I think it helps a lot that the captain has dropped most of his clown act now. I know that Captain Nira has picked that flag up and ran with it, but at the same time I'm constantly amused by what a total prick he is.
