Episode 3: Bogan

I felt this one worked alright, though it definitely had issues.

The setup is that Taylor and Hayley discover a group of travelers passing by and decide to tail them, resulting in them being taken to a settlement known as Bogan.

First off, and I'm sure someone can correct me here, but I don't think that Kaiju ever laid eggs before now? It sure didn't seem that way from how the Kaiju gave birth in the first movie.

Second, I felt it out of character for Taylor to be the one to lose focus of everything going on so fast, given he's been the overly careful one all through the show so far. Losing track of the boy they saved, not being able to read the room when in Bogan; it all more felt like things Hayley would be prone to.

And last is that ending, wherein it turns out that Mob Boss somehow drifted with Taylor, which, if I'm getting the rules from the first movie right, means that not only are the two somehow drift compatible, but that somehow the two drifted while only wearing broken down helmets? I thought you needed an entire system for that, suit included?

I get that it's all to keep the plot moving, but alot of it felt a bit forced and that some minor tweeks would've made the entire scenario work out alot better.

Still, atleast there's some more characters to work off of and some bits of world building were dropped, so hopefully those will all get followed up in future episodes. Again, not horrible, but could've been better for sure.
