Hmm...It started off really shaky. I was worried the show was about to jump the shark.
Realism and logic, even in fantasy comic storytelling, is so important to me. They almost lost me from the jump of this episode. Last episode I was wonderin why a high security prison in Berlin would allow Sam & Bucky to talk to Zemo. But they never explained it.
I didn't buy that at all. I don't care who Sam is, he's in Berlin and the Avengers aren't even really a thing anymore, are they, so that clout doesn't mean much, especially as far as international terrorists go. I need things like that to make sense. I stuck with it though, but then, here we go again...high security prison break out. I know Bucky used to be the stealth master, but how did he get that key in a book that Zemo was already reading??? And where did Zemo get those prison guard clothes, and how he change within a few minutes? It just felt so unrealistic & then after all of that, Sam and Bucky give Zemo so much power and leeway. I did like the smiling Tiger character Sam played. It was a nice nod to canon Sam's mob days. But then here we go again...Why would Sam leave his personal phone's ringer on during an undercover misson?
Are they
trying to discredit him before he gets the shield back? Cause come on, bruh!
It got better though. I really enjoyed Sharon in this episode. She was badass and I love that she's a art hustler now lol.
I was kinda hoping Sam & Sharon would accidently inhale some super soldier mist after that explosion. lol I dunno, I need Sam get better. Right now, he's not very compelling to me, and I want him to be so bad. I want to really root for him. I do think that Anthony Mackie is stiff. I know he went to Julliard and is an accomplished actor, but it always feels like he's acting. He's so wooden to me. Sigh.
Karli's dark turn was unexpected. I thought they were gonna keep her more morally righteous and maybe even pure in her intentions. She's more than gray now, she has real blood on her hands. I was so excited to see the appearance of Ayo.
I love that Bucky knows Wakandans well enough to sniff her out. That was a great surprise cameo. I hope this means trouble for Zemo. Wakandans don't play with their food lol. I'm kinda relieved because I don't like that guy and I don't think Sam & Bucky have full control over him. I think this episode got better as it went along. C+
He might have gypsy/Romani blood but Sebastian stan looks and most definitely claims white.
how could you ask for this after complaining about the previous items earlier in the post which would be easy to explain 
every Simmone I've met in real life had some tig ol bitties.
