Mr. October at first I thought was bad and this episode shows he is just on task.

There’s a ‘balancing act’ (if you may,) to story/character pacing in this art form. Go too quickly, and you’re audience might become overburdened with details. Slowly ‘drip’ those details or story beats and your audience might find your movie/TV show ‘uninteresting,’ ‘lacking,’ or 'dull. ’ On the discussion page for the first episode, I shared how I was very impressed with their pacing of the show. They are establishing lots of threads to explore and I’m enjoying it.

I like how the Boy Genius explained why he created the human-synthetic hybrid. Just so he could have a conversation on his level eventually.

He’s been an interesting character to learn. They’ve shown how childlike he is, and that allows for challenging and intriguing interactions and conflicts. The interaction between Dame Sylvia and him made me feel the conflict I figure she’s facing. It will be interesting where she ends up at the end of episode 4-5.

I love how ambiguous Boy Kavalier comes off. And having him state that he wants someone smarter than him to have discussions with is a great story subplot. =)
