Halfway done!
This episode had some really solid acting from Jorjie, and Darius was pretty alright too, unfortunately that side of the episode was let down by a rather lackluster script. You can tell where that conversation is going, but hey, it's still performed pretty well and the acting gets you invested with the characters (even if this relationship drama is a bit silly and I don't get Jorjie's attraction to Starkey at all). Nice that there's some series spanning plot going on even if it is this.
The science I don't think *quite* works with reality, but hey, it's fun, and leads to another surprisingly fun monster design. I'm not sure the world needs to be in danger every time there's something like this, I think keeping the stakes more localized would have been just as if not more effective, but hey, it's fine.
I also quite like the interaction at the end when everything's wrapped up with K9 asking what love is. It's not a big moment, but it's fun and feels real.
Another 6/10
