This episode was pretty damn boring. And sure as hell didn't deserve to be a two-parter. Why waste two entire episodes on such a weak premise that's already been mined previously? The point of a cliffhanger like that is supposed to be to get you excited for what happens next, but in this case I don't even care--it's just that 'meh'.
Also, I can't stand the way they've been doing the lighting lately. Everything is so damn dark and dull, you can't see what's going on half the time. And the mixes are really burying the dialogue behind the music and sound effects: combine that with the fast-paced and strange nature of the speech, and even for someone with a good ear such as myself just the basic act of deciphering what is being said is quite difficult.
Overall, not very pleased with the way things are going, in either storytelling or technical quality.
