with that last scene i 100% understand why tom holland said this role fucked him up
The cat’s out of the bag… so to speak. This series gets better each episode.
We definitely have more of a shift in the show now that they've showed all of their cards (even though we already knew what was going on). But the show gains a lot from now being set completely in the present and showing us both Danny's and Rya's experiences with Danny's multiple personalities. This episode took a big swing and gave us a very symbolic yet tangible take on what the inside of Danny's mind is like, and it doesn't always work but I thought overall it was a pretty cool way to show us his internal conflict. Seeing more on Rya's side of things as she attempts to legitimize Danny's disorder to her colleagues and prepare for his trial adds a nice element to the show as well. Her character also has some good nuance with both selfish and selfless motivations. The final scene of Danny showing just how utterly terrified and confused he is about what's going on in his head was expertly done and made me really feel for him. Tom Holland is great and super believable in this difficult role in my opinion, including the emotionally heavy moments and his ability to switch between his different personalities. I feel like I can tell who he is in a given moment just by the look in his eyes. So overall, a bit of a silly episode in some regards and it's still not the best script, but there's also a lot that's great here.
Doom Patrol Style.
I didn't like though the premise of the light and whoever was in it was doing in real life like the seeing him playing fake basketball, poorly executed and idea, no need for that on this show. Felt cheap.

The fight scenes, as short as they are, are pretty great. There's a certain flow and weight to them you wouldn't expect from this type of show.
Also getting rid of Yitzhak considering the situation seems like a terrible idea and I hate Jack for that
