Well, that was quite an enjoyable episode! Though, as I believe Goldmutant said, I wish it was a two-parter so that they could go a little more in depth with the arena and a little more time with Zeno (Traximus???)
Either way, it was by far, in my opinion, the best episode so far!
Peter, as usual, delivered in this episode and I think, besides the element of the arena, what I loved the best was the spot on characterization. To me, nothing felt forced and the dialogue exchange between the guys, April, Fugitiod and the Triceritons they encountered along the way seemed pretty good
What I'm really liking so far this season is the good use of April and her powers. It seems every episode her abilities are progressing and while they're not the focal point of the eps, they sure remind us here and there that 'yes, she has powers and, yes, we plan on using them'. Also in this episode I noticed they toned Casey down a bit- he was still...
Casey but he did seem generally better than these past few episodes so..y'know..that's a plus.
And
of course I loved the simulation in the beginning and the Street Fighter references that came along with
Looking forward to seeing 'the new A-team' pair up with Don and Raph some time, too...that should be neat.
So, yeah, other than wishing this was a little longer...it sure did impress me, especially since they managed to get the next piece, finally.
8/10
Nice episode to watch after digging myself out of three feet of snow, I'll tell ya
