The town of wasted potential.

Impressions:

Is a creepy little undead goth pseudo-child sidekick really what Elvis needed? His tragic backstory about losing everything also seems a bit lacking in Favarro considering the mad-on he has for him. I’m not a great fan of how they did the reveal about the ghost town either, particularly the trolls thing. They could have/should have milked that out a lot more instead of making it painfully obvious from the moment the cavalry arrived. 

It’s probably because they ended up blowing half the episode on Amari’s flashback and the gods/demons doing their usual sitting around going “Should we do something? Nah.” I appreciate the effort they put into showing it to at least make it not the worst flashback of the episode, but it wasn’t exactly well-woven into the story. They’re going to have to actually do something with Jeanne at some point as well. It’s starting to wear thin. At least, I hope so. Maybe she’ll just be bumming around the battlefield in her own little world for the entire show.
