Default Battle Begins Part 1 Discussion

This episode really moved fast. Once Professor Hart contacted the Kids it seemed like the got to the lab pretty quickly. It seemed like they got their too easily after the bridge was destoryed. I think I actually liked Jeb better when he didn't talk. Makes him more heartwarming.

I forgot about the Troopers getting a recording from Ryan's dad. They sure seem to accept their roles pretty quickly. No second guessing like in Day of the Dumbster.

The introduction of Ziktor was perfect. As he was this sinister industrialist slowly buying up historical land. With of course an even more sinister idenity as Grimlord. Its interesting how the Troopers couldn't stop that site from being destoryed. Which is something you probably wouldn't have seen in MMPR at the time.

The ending battle was kind of is rushed. Particularly with Ryan getting hurt. Its funny how JB actually has the better finisher, when Ryan is really the star. But that would be be remeided in season 2. Of course poor Kaitlin doesn't even get a finisher.

The scenes with Ryan at the shrine were always a nice touch. And really helped you get in Ryan's head. While making it clear that his main goal was to find his dad.

You really wonder how Ziktor was able to build his empire. And just how he was able to gain power in Virtual Reality. He probably took a lot of Tyler' Steele's work and used it for evil. Much like he does in season 2, when he upgrades his powers.
