You gotta love this insane series.
This is not even one of the better episodes (a bit uneven, odd lulls and pauses, seems mainly to want to advance the storyline but not focused) but it is still more fun than a barrel of hammers.
Aside from the redone titles (liked the old ones better) the signature tropes are all there:
* sudden swings from action to moody bits, then back again
* the bad guys get badder and more threatening as the series goes on
* every female cast member looks like a former beauty contest winner, including the Kinaho lawwoman (see quote above)
* the men and women are constantly at each other, in more ways than one
.. and special mention to Matthew Rauch who has created one of the most memorable characters in TV history, as Kai's assistant. By now even new fans have figured out that every time he takes off his glasses (very Clark Kent!) serious action will follow.
