While I expected this to be a character-focused and Monarch-Apex skullduggery episode given the title, I somehow didn’t quite expect the gut punches right to the last seconds.

M:LOM keeps me riveted with the character stories but the Titan scenes were excellent nonetheless, however brief.

The juxtaposition of the two different time periods continues to be an incredibly effective narrative tool.

Even if one knows the broad strokes of the earlier trio’s future, we’re still invested in the details of Keiko, Bill and Lee’s lives and explorations in the earlier timeline. Having Kurt and Wyatt Russell echo one another’s mannerisms, in addition to the physical similarities, really helps sell them as the same person in different times.

Now — especially after having rewatched the opening scenes of the series premiere with the older Bill Randa on Skull Island, I really have to wonder if he survived somewhere…

Is there any chance of seeing John Goodman back in a third season?
