4/5

There’s a part of me that feels like it’s a bit unadventurous to default back to the mainline series’ go-to bad guys... At the same time, their absence would’ve likely felt a little weird if we went for another season without more explicit reference.

3.75/5

Most elements of this episode work. However, the only aspect of this episode that feels like it needs more time to flesh out is the Vault-network storyline.

4.5/5

7/10
