Episode 12: Mind, Body, Soul

This one was... okay.

The main crux of the episode is Hayley convincing everyone to go on a rescue mission to get Boy back, and it goes way smoother than I was expecting.

Like, after all the build up in regards to the Kaiju Sisters, the plan, despite some minor setbacks, goes overall really well? I get that they only have so much run time and need to keep the plot rolling, but this is a unique case in that the episode managed to have a twist by not having a twist.

There's some very obvious foreshadowing going on with Mei though, and my guess is that her past is connected to the Kaiju Sisters somehow. And with that I really, really hope that I don't end up having to eat my words when it came to Shane in the previous episode. If Spider is any indication, should the last two episodes turn around and go "Shane did nothing wrong?" Let's just say that'd sour alot of the mood for me.

On a totally unrelated note, I know that it's not exactly important in the grand scheme of things, Atlas Destroyer wasn't used at all in this episode, which made me think, wow, they aren't going any further with the mismatched limbs are they? Kinda surprising given the survival aspect of the show. I almost expected Atlas to have four totally different limbs by the show's' end.

But again, it's not like it's a big deal, and I have zero problem with the show instead focusing on its characters rather than its vehicle. Let's just hope these last two episodes do good on that front.
