I loved this episode too, I was really impressed by what they did with it in spite of it being about hallucinogenic dinosaur puke! As much as I love the dinosaur aspect of both New World and the original, really the characters are what keep me coming back, and the character stuff in this ep was super interesting. (Plus, yes, awesome ladies! I think New World has done excellently with the ladies thus far.)

I'm just hoping that, as you said, they don't revert too quickly back to the status quo, which is what I felt happened with the earlier Evan-Mac tension. It didn't occur to me that Ange could end up working with Ken, but I actually love that idea, as I love Ken and Ange together and I also think it would add another interesting layer to her relationship with Evan.
