i think this episode was ok, you can't have non-stop action all the time...at some point there has to be a pause to give place to some explanation and plot furthering via conversation :|
that said, i really disliked how clare behaved in this episode, it put me off big time
in a matter of two panels she went from being a badass warrior to a whiny girlfriend, and totally destroyed her image that had been building from day one years ago...thus taking a sexist approach to what was IMHO a very mature take on female warriors, very very scarce now a days (sexy outfits not withstanding)
i'm both upset and sad now...rant over
PS: i really really hope raki is the first one to get eaten by priscilla, and maybe by doing so clare will once again become a revenge-driven murderous warrior and stop playing sweet-hearts with a humey (diminutive of human? haha )
