I'm not the only one that was reading Taphony and Jorjie as gay for a minute right?
Regardless, this is a genuinely pretty solid story, the chemistry between Taphony and the rest of the main cast is great, the scene where they're all playing catch and Taphony is messing about with her time powers is really fun and helps to endear her to the viewer.
Speaking of that scene, these are some of the best effects the show has had, both visual and practical. The makeup and prosthetics on Jorjie and Gryphen respectively are great, and I really like the snappy movements for Taphony's powers.
It has a good lesson too, teaching kids about friendship is great, and even if it all got undone, it's still heartwarming that at least K9 remembers.
Also god damn it, they're doing the thing again where they're just so incredibly close to good world building!!
Gryphen was part of a human experiment that The Department did on a child!? What the f**k, that's insane in the best possible way, and I'll never be able to see this character in the same light again.... and it's never going to be addressed again, ever.
