Ah, yes. My only weakness. Being harpooned.

Impressions:

Standing still across from each other for about two straight minutes while a dude has a PTSD episode, and then throws a harpoon. Truly the sensical ending to this five minute action scene that was stretched out across the entire episode because we had to keep cutting away to meetings, briefings, PTSD flashbacks, and tea. That's also as far as the plot progressed here in the twilight episodes of the show. And did I mention that this long set of flashbacks came out of absolutely nowhere because Axel has a wing necklace, and that reminded the assassin dude of the weird cult and their Chinese monster gods that are made of wings? Because if there was ever a character who needed to devour a quarter of the episode with his tragic League of Assassins backstory, it's the random-ass ninja dude with zero personality or plot importance.

But sure, this is the show. No doubt they were sitting on the miracle cure from the start, or it was the power of friendship all along. There is no way that the plot is going to wrap up in any way but an asspull at this point. I'm honestly not even certain why we're chasing down the one crazy hacker lady anyway, let alone how she's gone undetected in a van that could be mistaken for the Mystery Machine. Even the action has fallen apart when we keep cutting away. Storytelling 101. Focus on the good parts. Sure, we could be watching high octane parkour fights… oooooor we could watch people discuss logistics and geopolitics. Even if the latter is too important to skip, stop interrupting the fun parts for this boring garbage.
