First of all, it is obvious that with the start of this season, the show received an increase in budget.

Everything from the character models to the landscape to the Maximal base look great.

That is not to say that the previous season was one that was full

Second of all, I do not like that five minutes in to this episode, that two prominent characters are just suddenly killed off, and are given no mention whatsoever afterward.

Their deaths are barely shown and then they are gone.

I thought this was awful lazy of the writers and that they did a disservice to fans of those characters.

It is almost as lazy and disgraceful as the massive killing of characters ...

That aside, the battles in this episode are handled exceptionally well and the characters that are mutated due to the shock wave created by the destruction of the alien device look fantastic - definitely improvements over their previous forms.

This episode also continues to showcase Blackarachnia’s treacherous streak and Tarantulas’ control over her remains as strong as it has been.

Although not a whole lot happens in this episode aside from the mutations of the characters, the last thirty seconds of the episode end

All in all, this season opener accomplishes a good amount, I would say.

There is grieving on part of the Maximals, some characters undergo mutations and gain new abilities that are shown off well, the battles are well executed, Blackarachnia and Tarantulas continue their struggle and the show ends on a cliffhanger.

A very good start to my favorite season of the show.
