Why does his head look pasted on to a wax body?

Impressions:

I just want this season to end to provide a clean break. Well, and I want it to not be suddenly blizzarding in March for some goddamned reason, but I don't think OLM is going to be reversing climate change any time soon. At least unlike every other show this week, it didn't get stuck in flashbacks for most of the episode. On the other hand, that might have been somewhat preferable, as instead it decided to do entirely a 'joke' episode centered mostly on that one random dude who really likes the whores. Yeah. That's what the audience was clamoring for. The comic relief dude who they haul out when they need someone to pratfall.

Follow up with the mystery it spent a whole episode wondering about last week? Advance the character stories or relationships? Even go with the 'plot' thing of going back to royal whoreville with the old cast introduced at the end of last week? All those things that people supposedly say are what makes this show great? Nah. It's time for jokes with Rihaku. They have to show that Maomao is the best ever at everything too though, so the first third of the episode has her visit some random dude, tell him he and his entire lineage sucks at their business and obviously she knows best. Because she's the protagonist. It's really getting past the point of even pretending she has any insight and just becoming insufferable.
