Maybe stop giving speeches for fifteen seconds.
Impressions:
The writing’s not getting any more cohesive at any point. Whether it’s a dude getting his lungs evaporated and then sitting up a couple minutes later to give a speech about how he was still in on the big distraction plan, to an exceptionally long flashback origin story for the dude who’s literally off in a corner far away from everything just to be saved by some other dude who I’m 98% certain has literally not once been in the show so far just to wail melodramatically over the non-sacrifice. Even the things that were sort of on-topic, like the monster suddenly and inexplicably hyperfixated on one particular gizmo so they could do a comic relief hot potato joke was nonsensical. This on top of all the short-use only super weapons that all ran out of power turning back on and the whole plan relying on him making a bunch of remote duplicates, which I guess is a thing he can just do now after having to cut off limbs for it before… which the whole team is either somehow totally ignorant of, or I guess the whole revelation and conversation about him being a monster dude happened somewhere off screen.
It continues to be a complete unfocused mess, and it’s difficult to follow when out of nowhere, it leaps far into the past for a flashback to a character that was not any part whatsoever of the entire first half of the episode. And definitely impossible to take seriously when it ends with D apparently deciding to abandon every part of his plan and personality just to give yet another goddamned speech. Didn’t we NOT do this before multiple times specifically because this was the situation to avoid? Sure, whatever. I’m sure whatever last minute swerve we do in the final episode will totally be worth it. If it doesn’t get distracted into another flashback for… I don’t know… that one other monster girl that randomly went completely MIA this week.
