Gen V: The Whole Truth

 "You have a... a piece of eardrum on your shoulder."

Obviously, this episode is awesome. I mean, it's Gen V. I expect all future blog reviews will probably begin with words to that effect.

This episode is fascinatingly different, though. Despite last episode's... dramatic ending, this episode focuses on a cataluyst thrown into the mix to do things to the characters. A catalyst called Tek Knight, who has Daredevil-like powers to act as a sort of human lie detector, yet he uses said powers just to do a TV show and "investigate" crimes purely to cover up for Vought, "find a patsy and destroy their life". He'sa piece of ****, and spends most of the episode showing this to be true in various ways. His comeuppance, and humiliation, is hilarious.

So much happens, though. Emma and Sam really connect, and are sweetly devoted to each other. Emma is now one of the gang, after spending most of the episode being with Sam in a cute but surely doomed relationship, shows that, like Alice and like Henry Pym, she can grow larger as well as small. I would say wow... but I wasn't expecting Marie to get together with Joranin another cute little relationship between probably the two most decent people in this show.

This show is completely insane. I love it.
