Ashley Johnson . Too much time taken up with the Civil Defense stuff leads to the least interesting episode. Many characters have pivotal moments, yes, but they seem shoehorned into the story. The episode seems determined to make a heavy-handed comparison between the ‘disasters’ happening to the characters and the simulated ‘end of the world’ scenario. And it’s too obvious. And it takes up way too much screentime. It also must be said that the various revelations/changes are long overdue and are hardly worthy of an episode on their own. The aftermath of all this, however, promises to be more interesting. One would hope. 7/10
