Transformers Prime - 2x18 - New Recruit

[freevo]

I thought Out of the Past was just alright while Hurt was straight up bad, but this episode... oh boy, this episode, let's just say it makes me see the previous two in a whole new light. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

[spoilers ahead...]
The Good

• Continuity nods, like Airachnid and the various artifacts of doom in the base. Ratchet being pissed at Wheeljack.
• Bulkhead's situation. I like tension between the Autobots.
• Parts of Smokescreen's flashback. Namely the prison ship, and Alpha Trion. Nice hints and possible set up for future episodes.

The Bad

• Another, goddamn kryptonite energon.
• Miko being Miko.
• Even Starscream was tiring. I kid you not. His lines felt especially forced and horrible this time around. Too cartoony, I guess?

The Awful

• Raf hacking the internet. Again. That's hyperbole, but still.
• Smokescreen. I can already tell that I'm gonna hate him with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns.

I'm being too harsh, but I really shoudn't be 'cause I still like the show. I just really didn't enjoy this last one.
