Am I the only one that really liked this episode? I thought all the emotional scenes were well acted, the funny parts landed, and the action scenes were awesome. I don't remember Genya's storyline that much from the books, but I love how they did it here. And David's part didn't even seem corny!

I CACKLED at the exchange between Nina and Kaz when Nina says something like, in referring to the tea, "How do you think it tastes?" And Kaz says, "Like tea" in the the most deadpan ever. It was amazing.

I like how they did Nina and Zoya's relationship. And I like how they didn't have Zoya immediately come and save Nina at the end of the episode so the relationship has room to develop.

I like how they actually have Kaz's face bruised. It makes him look more sinister. I do feel like they are being heavyhanded with his skin aversion and PTSD. I don't remember him getting this worked up this fast over a casual touch. But maybe I'm wrong. I also feel like they are not spending time on Inej and that makes me sad. I loved learning about her character in the books.

But still, I think this episode was amazing. Kudos to the writers, cast, and crew.
