And did it ever deliver.
This is really the first time in the series when it’s not a brains vs. brawn fight or just a crafting extravaganza. We get a straight up match of intellects in the best episode of the series so far (episode 9), which truly delivers on the visual and emotional front. Beyond that, it’s just a great showcase of how far they’ve come, how well they can win over enemies, and the employment of a new weapon that really changed the game, all of which elevates this season. If that comprised more of it, the score for this would be higher still, but we’ve got a bit to go before getting to Dr. Stone’s best season (cannot wait for S4!), so it’s still got room to grow.
