If last episode was the most unhinged yet, then this one is the — I'm not going to say "most hinged," because that would be an unhinged thing to say. But it is easily the best chapter of this opening salvo, and it's a damn fine tease of what this show is capable of when it's really cooking. We've got dynamic character work, big action, and a fantastic performance by Latta as Cobra Commander. Plus, the day is saved(ish) by three different women.
