EPISODE REVIEWS
This episode had a really creepy feel to it. I liked how the tension built up slowly instead of throwing everything at me right away. The darker tone worked well, and it made the episode feel more serious as it went on. I enjoyed this one more than I expected to, and the slow buildup worked for me.
Half of the entire episode was a recap of all the previous eps. The flashbacks were uncalled-for as the series was nearing its end and the plot was not yet at its climax. The intense suspicions of Cammy and Balrog were nerve-wracking, too. That ending scene of Chun Li wearing that signature costume was right from the video game! So nostalgic!
I can't believe they spent half the episode recapping the last few events. That's cheap. I thought the whole episode was a recap but not really. Looks like we're still dealing with Dorai and Cammy's goof up + the usual mind control shit. I'd say other than the recap, it was decent progress. But it does feel like the pacing was messed up in all this.
