And by issues, I mean, it was edited horribly.
Not sure if this is one that Joss Whedon edited himself or what, but there's a story hole here that is gaping.
No spoilers but something starts getting mentioned in this episode like it's been known by a LOT of people (the thing underground) - but they don't show in the previous episode how all the Touched suddenly know about it.
Basically, at the end of the previous episode, they get what amounts to a prophecy somehow - but then, there's kind of a leap (read: missing scene) and suddenly everyone's trying to find a solution the getting down there to find it.
It's jarring, and I'm surprised more reviewers don't mention it.
Then there's the also a very obvious political issue, where they give a half decent defense of both sides of the issue (Maladie is a serial killer after all) - but it just seems like they tend to largely ignore the fact she's killed 15 people for much of the episode - which was also a little jarring.
Much of the episode, though, is still entertaining for all that. The characters and acting is excellent, and the plot continues to twist.
