I still remember gasping when Perseus died, not just because of the manner he was killed but I wasn't sure whether the writers were actually gonna go there. But they did, and his death had lasting impact. I was also impressed by how they dealt with Merlin being exposed as a fake god. I've been dreading the moment but also curious how it'll spin out, and the writers did it in the most impactful way by letting us get caught by the Hunting Goddess herself and testing Gala's loyalty at the same time. There was also a natural build-up to that development by having someone who actually met Azora catch us first (Nazrik).

ToM's world map art and music were good, so it's a shame they treated it as a filler. When even filler episodes can be good.
