I did say in my overall review that we don't need to have Titans waltzing around every 5 minutes because we're gonna get plenty of that soon enough.
But once you reach a certain point in the narrative, then scaling back with underwhelming results, it's very disappointing.
Considering where the last episode ended, I definitely expected to see where that would lead. The last thing I wanted to see is an entire episode dedicated to boring family drama side plots - and that's what it really was despite the connection to Monarch & Apex.
The nature of limited tv series with only 8-10 episodes in the season means No. Filler. Episodes. Which is what this one felt like. I found myself skipping ahead far too often, because at this stage I couldn't care less about May's family or her background, or anyone else's for that matter.
We've had a gutsful of family boohoo from the Daddy-Issues duo already. It's time to advance the Titan plot.
