Episode 13: The Twilight Run

This episode hits hard right from the outset.

It starts with the perfect happy ending: Boy retaining his conscience, the group reaching Sydney, Taylor and Hayley's' father being alive, it's all too good to be true.

And that's because it is.

Like, way to emotionally pull me in right from the getgo. Ontop of that is the character drama with everyone else, including the detail that LOA was the first AI built with an emotion chip and a bit of her backstory, which makes me really curious as to how she ended up in Atlas Destroyer, and it makes me think that the Jaegar that she freaked out about in season 1 was the unit she originally belonged to.

But the main focus of this episode is Boy, and reawakening his former self as being converted by the Kaiju Sisters. While it is pretty predictable in how it's gone about, I still enjoyed watching it play out, and man, way to make me feel sad for Apex despite how little screen time it gets.

And that about does it, really. This episode was very straight-forward in all that it did, but that was in no way a bad thing.

The final episode is upon on us, and I think it's pretty clear at this point that they'll be gunning for a third season, which, if it happens, I'll definitely be checking out. But if not, then all I can hope for is that, similar to the season 1 finale, that all of the major aspects to the characters is wrapped up well enough.
