Episode 6: Nameless Guest

This was a rollercoaster.

There's mystery afoot, as a luxury spaceship is boarded by Yellow Jacket from some previous episodes, who proceeds to murder alot of guests.

Thus, the hunt is on as everyone aboard the ship attempts to figure out who the real murderer is, as Yellow Jacket is able to copy the appearance of anyone perfectly. As well as their voice.

And with that sort of premise laid out, you might be thinking that's a source of some big drama right? Well, you're not wrong, as this episode does have some big dramatic beats to it, especially in the ending. But surprisingly it's also got alot of genuinely funny moments throughout.

Most of it comes from the character interactions between Rouge and Naomi, similar to how episode 2 was. But man did I laugh. Hard. And yet none of the different felt as though they conflicted with one another? Rather impressive given how much they manage to pack into this single episode. Almost too much, given how little of Yellow Jacket's' character is actually expanded on.

But hey, if they just wanted his character to be a psychopathic, unsympathetic murderer? Sure, I'm game. Dude killed a dog, I ain't about to pity him. He's also the one who killed Rouge's' creator while disguised as Rouge's' Gladiator form.

And on that note, while it was hinted at in the previous episode, this one basically outright confirms that Rouge's' memories have been messed with, though whether it was due to input by the Ringmaster or if it happened to her beforehand is somewhat unclear.

Regardless, this was a surprisingly nice breather after how heavy the last few episodes were, and I had a good time with it.
