Official Episode Discussion: #6 "Metalhead"

Overall I really enjoyed this episode!

Has anyone else noticed the change in the dynamic of Raphael and Leo in this series? In Mirage and the 2003 series you would often see Leo make a call about something and Raphael having to question it. In this series I feel more like Raphael just goes with a lot of Leo 's decisions and then turns around to instead question what Don has to say.

It's a change and I like it. You can definitely see there is a very friendly rivalry between Leo and Raphael still but it seems much more like something familial that they both enjoy versus a daily power struggle for dominance. In a way I feel like it has mellowed Leo 's character out a little with a strong second in command he doesn't always feel like he needs to be watching over everyone 24 /7 for fear of them getting into danger. So he has developed his own hobbies.

I love Leo's obsession with Space Heroes more each week. Though I dread the impending episode when he will discover life is really not as black and white as his favorite show is.

I really find Don creeping on April very amusing, but in a way it also makes me a little sad because you know he is going to get his heart broken.

I am still pretty indifferent to April personally at this point and am mystified
