Was that episode interesting or just confusing? That's the question I'm stuck on thinking about the episode now I'm over the initial “huh???”.
It was certainly an enjoyable episode to get swept up in, I was never bored so I haven't come away hating the episode, but I'm sat here trying to think about it, trying to mull over it in a way beyond the literal plot, but I'm coming up empty.
If you are going to write an episode that doesn't care to make sense that can be great, but I think there should be a reason for it. It should be in service of something, it doesn't necessarily matter what, some theme, some metaphor, some point being made, and I don't think this was. Ultimately I feel as though it was confusing for the sake of it.
What is there to get out of the episode? Underneath the confusion what was 73 Yards about? Surely it should be something more than pointing out nuclear armageddon would be bad.
