What a episode. Holy crap. How does a single episode manage to redeem Nolan? It was powerful when he cried for the Thraxan massacre, and him protecting Mark was touching. Mark embracing his Viltrum side by fighting to kill was badass. The animation also looks better here.

10/10 yet again.

I don't think he's redeemed from all the innocents he has massacred (can anyone be?), but he feels more like a rounded character than a one-dimensional villain at this point.

We're seeing the empathy and conflicted feelings underneath all the Viltrumite indoctrination, which makes him much more interesting.
