Spoiler warning
While episode threads allow spoilers, a heads up to new Monsterverse viewers that not only does the episode description reveal key developments from season one, as compared to the ones for shows in other franchises, it gives more away about the episode and the season.
Decades after being presumed dead, Keiko’s return shocks Monarch. Cate defies orders to save Shaw — and unleashes a terrifying new Titan.

Confident is the word that comes to mind after watching this premiere.
The world building and character development foundations of season one pay off immediately. I felt like I was watching a contender the strongest science fiction season premiere of the year.
Like many others, I hadn’t been sure where the mystery box of season one was taking us. Everything had seemed to be coming together in the first season’s final episodes, leaving me with a some frustration that we might not see where it would go if there wasn’t a second season.
Now, the narrative, action and character beats were all there as well as the monsters, MUTOs/kaiju/Titans — old and new.
Some deep cuts in there to rarely seen smaller monsters from what I could catch. The Skull Island and Hollow Earth scenes really give a richer sense of a broader ecology of monsters. The consistently excellent vfx make it unquestionably believable.
WOW.
This community has convinced me to start delving in to all of this stuff, but I'm nowhere near this current season, but I just wanted to say that I love this.
You can really tell when a show knows what it's trying to be, and executes it.
