I think I've pinpointed my main issue with the adaptation (I really LOVE it overall though).

My issue is that by taking things that happen sporadically throughout the comics and condensing them into 1 episode (Falxxans, ReAnimen) is something that sounds good in theory it really makes it feel more monster of the week than I think the show wants to. Compared to the comics where things happen seemingly randomly chapters apart it makes the world feel way more real.

I think that's why episode 5 is probably the best so far since the Titan/Machine Head arc was pretty much one and done in the comics also so it worked more naturally in the show.

I don't know just random thoughts after watching the episode. Like I said, ovferall I think this is a great adaptation, even if deep down I still prefer the original

I honestly think they're just trying to get some character development that takes literally dozens issues for some characters out of the way up front and set up the longer story. Judging by how long they've played out Nolan trying to recruit Mark I think they're optimistically shooting for maybe five seasons? I don't know.

Has that been discussed by the showrunners at all? I honestly haven't looked.

It almost seems like they’re going along with what happened in the comics but are pushing the Nolan reveal to mark back so it’s the last or second to last episode this season that they fight
