Episode #25: Crisis

The middle act of the final battle!

There's a surprising amount of talking and planning in this one despite Kogorr's' full revival, and yet it surprisingly works.

While on paper it sounds as though the action stops dead for everyone to exposit, that's actually not quite it. The main thing to keep in mind is the various different players all contributing to this last act.

Many people are pieces are being moved at once, and the episode makes sure to get all of them their fair share of screen time. From Denton's' plan to supercharge Heroman, to Kogorr absorbing the Spheres(which is a really cool visual, I might add!), to Hughes deciding to get more personally involved, there's alot happening.

And with Will joining in for the episode's' climax, we have all the pieces needed for one heck of a finale. Because not only is the siege on the giant Kogorr a really fun action sequence, but the hook it ends on is one which turns the situation from bad to incredibly dire. Kogorr's' plan to consume the planet is now very much in the realm of possibility, and our heroes have never been in a worse spot.

Highlighting the awesomeness of the climax is "Light and Darkness" which serves as the theme for Joey, Heroman, and Will all teaming up for their last stand against Kogorr. The song itself is wonderful as per usual, but its high intensity matches up with the scene it's scored to perfectly.
