I kinda wanted to be a hater because the break pissed me off but I liked this episode. A lot better animation than episode 4, took it’s time in the beginning to save the action for later and they’re carefully introducing future plots (Mark on Themiscira, the books, Amber break up). I don’t really know where the season will end, I hope we see the invincible war but idk.

Rex and Allen are the best voice actors hands down.

I hope they don’t keep splitting the action like they did in eps. 4 and 5 but I didn’t mind it this episode. They have a lot to get through but sometimes it seems like Amazon struggles to find it’s pacing with certain plots.

For this episode it made thematic sense to split the action to show the simultaneous emergencies.

Yeah I agree, I didn’t like the split action in 4 because it ruined the pacing of the viltrumite imo, this week felt like a good balance with both of them ending on a similar note as well

For episode 4 the constant reminder of earth also took away the isolation we should be feeling with Mark IMO. Should’ve only used the parallels with Nolan and Debbie and that’s it.

Mark on Themiscira

I know people are wanting a crossover, but I'm not sure how Wonder Woman would exactly fit in

The small Allen part was voiced fantastically, very funny.
