and we back with another discussion about new ST ep, thoughts on Episode 82?
I’d give it a 6. I’ll break it down into what I liked and what I didn’t.
What I liked: There were some really cool and interesting scenes (like the start of the invasion or the beam clash), and they gave us some background on G-Toilet (though it’s likely non-canon, given how much they’ve deviated from Boom’s storyline). The scenes of G-Toilet’s rebellion on his home turf reminded me of Cybertron cilvil war from Transformer. Using void dimension to show past events was a nice callback to Episode 78.
What I didn’t like: The design for Astro G-Toilet was pretty "ehhh," and—to me—Kleiner and some of the other toilets looked really rough and plastic-like in certain shots. The animation was inconsistent; it was smooth at times but clunky at others. I felt the way they used the void to tell the story and cover G-Toilet’s past was a bit rushed; it didn't really clearly explain the reasons behind the rebellion.
Anyway, I’m rating it a 6 because of the animation and certain visuals, but the plot was just mid. that my take, what yours?
