I like Gen V, after the third episode I was really excited to continue the story (and I'm following it weekly)
I liked this episode, even if the idea of making the story go in circles just to get a revelation at the end bothers me a little, but what bothered me most about this whole equation is something that bothers me a lot about managing this universe: "how to make a story adult? Let's be disruptive, take some childish things like puppets and make a brutal fight sequence"... Wow, violence...
This isn't the first time this has happened in the Voughtverse, we had a similar sequence with Black Noir in S3 (referenced in this episode), and in the previous episode there was that strange sequence with the guy talking to the puppet from The Deep, like... what's the fun in all this? What's the purpose? Shock? Be disruptive? Adult? For me it doesn't work.
