1) Rex demonstrates once again why he is becoming the best character. Goddamn it, Kirkman. I'm never going to be prepared for it.

2) Shrinking Rae surviving. I'm curious: what are they even going to do with it? Why did they make such an intentional choice? Retconning that is so weird. I hope it leads somewhere.

3) The scenes recreating Nolan's books were pretty cool. 

4) The Mark and Amber subplot. We already know where is headed. We already know she being irrelevant to the story is an intentional narrative choice. We definitely know Amber will never appear again on the show after this, outside some cameo or something. The question is how are they going to do it. I hope they do something interesting with it at least, but is starting to feel just...underwhelming.

5) Once again the foreshadowing between Monster Girl and Robot. Non-comic readers are going to freak out when it happens and I'm all for it.

If they don't have the rights to characters from outside the team would be there for later seasons, makes some sense to replace them with ones that are already established, but are supposed to die early-ish on.

I never thought it that way! Apparently they have problems with Brit rights, so it makes sense for other characters to fill the void. Thanks for the insight!

She shows up a couple of times in the later stages of the comic.

it's not really a retcon if it's technically a different continuity from the comics despite being an adaptation, just something different
