I went into this episode with very low expectations. Despite the fact that
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is probably my favorite movie or maybe because of that fact I felt like the show was doing
a lot and didn’t seem to know how to hold it together, while also taking its time for a show that only has 6 episodes. It’s also tricky because the series feels more like a movie, but that makes its missteps, like Karli’s characterization and even Sharon’s reintroduction, more glaring.
TFTWS does best when it follows the excellent pace of
CA: TWS, especially when it gathers all the characters together with balletic grace rather than just for hitting plot points. But the stumble in the middle of the series really confused me.
