Lots of action that serves mainly to unveil another layer of corporate skullduggery.

I’m intrigued that Hammond chose to use her window of opportunity to impart the message to May/Corah that her biggest error was not understanding what AET really. Clearly signaling where to dig further despite the recording status light on the surveillance camera in the corner of the room.

And then we see that Jason Trissop, who ran off with the computer with May’s code, is not just working with Isabel Simmons, he’s running her op to grab what they can on the beach in northeast Australia.

I’m feeling this episode is laying pipe for a potential third season alongside the Titan excitement.

I'm so tense after watching this episode. Kentaro starting his kinda-villain arc. (I love Amber Midthunder, so I'd do the same if she asked.) Hiroshi's death apparently hit Lee harder than I thought at first.

Always happy to see Gojira. Felt so badly for Titan X. Admittedly how rapid Tressop arrived seemed a little forced. How did Lee not see them while driving around?

I'll probably watch it again soon. Admittedly, I'm not feeling very well, so my perception may be off.

It was great to see Godzilla, and it was a high quality daylight scene. I was feeling Co-Cai’s pain as well and hoped that Godzilla would cut her some slack when he saw she was defending her young. So, that was a sad fight to witness.

Kentaro has been such a stalwart character so it’s been difficult to see him appear to go off the rails and get sucked in by Isabel. I was feeling Cate’s fury at him.

On the other hand, this isn’t the first time he’s followed his inner voice — his insistence that he’d seen something in Alaska saves them all. So, perhaps what he said to Cate about not falling for the Simmons but that he’s doing what needed to happen is correct. Would the egg have survived without AET?

It's always nice to have a daytime ゴジラ scene. I was thinking the same thing - hoping Big G would cut her some slack.

I'm kinda mad about it. Mostly at Lee. He let jis emotions get the best of him. I think S3 is going to have to start with him sorting out his real feelings about Keiko now. As well as Cate and Kentaro getting on the same page as half-siblings.

I'm sure Kentaro has some sort of plan to get what he wants out of this. It will be interesting to see how far Isabel will go to get his trust completely.

I'm not sure what her angle is. Is she actually behind Allan Jonah?
