This is a heist story and those are always good. And, in what feels like a rarity for this show, even after the standard things go wrong, the crew manages a win. Good for them.
We get to see a few glimpses of a core planet, which is the ones that are supposed to be all fancy and high tech. Mostly the action is inside a hospital, but we also see glimpses of a junkyard and a city street, but angles are chosen just enough to keep us from getting too good a look. We do get to see that they have funny-lookin’ cars, though (and yes I’ll note that they bear at least some similarity to my own car). I appreciate little touches like that, and acknowledge that they don’t need a lot of extras on these city streets given the crew would probably want to keep to the less-trafficked parts of town.
I have to note that, knowing the extremely skilled fighter that River will become, it is weird going back to seeing her before that. But I’m happy they are taking their time to earn it.
