I thought this was the weakest episode by far. Had an Indiana Jones kind of feel to it, but the fight/action sequences were very routine and the dialogue was too exposition heavy. The most interesting thing about the episode was the strong hint of a third, more violent personality that Marc and Steven are unaware of. RIP Gaspard Ulliel, who was sort of a one-note villainous character in this. I was expecting a bit more, but he never actually became "Midnight Man" (maybe in a future episode?).

Fortunately, listening to people who've seen the first 4 episodes, many seem to feel that episode 4 is the best one.

This show is so… blah.

Agree. I'll watch this ep tonight when I get home, but so far I'm not feeling this show at all.

I've liked every episode so far with a few reservations on this one. I liked the Bourne chase fight sequence and Indiana Jones quest. I laughed at the guy licking the knife then getting punched in the face. I thought it moved fast and gave more depth to the Marc/Layla relationship. I really like the actress playing Layla. Such an expressive face and way she looked at Steven during the star chart scene just cemented it.

It got a little murky for me with the search for Ammit and how the Gods don't know what Harrow is up to. That interrogation scene felt seriously under baked. Using the cape to fling the bullets back was cool. The bad-assery by Layla was awesome. By the end I was feeling sorry for Khonshu especially the way F. Murray Abraham says "I remember that night. I remember every night." Really curious to see how Marc/Steven manage without the suit.

I got bad intel last week, apparently there is a different comic for each episode's hidden QR code.

They all can be found here:

I'm enjoying the show so far. I thought the 1st one was a little slow, and these last 2 have picked up. I'm liking Steven (with a V) more than Spector, but seems there's another personality that came out tonight that we didn't see.

Oof, the first half of this episode was brutal. Was so confused.

Second half redeemed itself. And I just realized the wife is just a poor version of The Mummy’s Rachel Weisz.

And just keep the costume on the whole time you idiot! Apparently you’re invincible.

So is the whole Marc/Steven/(and ?) thing just your standard run-of-the-mill split personality disorder? Like, not supernatural, but purely psychological?

I'm still enjoying it.

I haven't any preconceived notions or opinions on the show.

However, I do watch the recap and Easter egg video from Nerdist the next day. They do a pretty good job of filling in the gaps and making connections to the comics.

i don't understand, if Harrow had the scarab and found Ammit's tomb and they were all digging and everything, why did we see him riding around back in the city of Cairo, i would imagine? i mean if the compass found the tomb, why wouldn't he be there to see all and what comes of it? i understand he was summoned by the other Egyptian gods and came through the portal, but why wouldn't he just go back and get to and open the tomb like he so desperately desired?

and now that Khonsu is in stone does that mean Marc/Steven don't have anymore powers? cause that would make for a sucky last 3 episodes...

After the events of this episode, I wonder if we are now going to see Jake Lockley soon?

Jeff Lynne is the bestest!!! #ELO4ever

Why So Blu?

I'm sick of the Steven personality. He drags it down. I had a friend who tapped out after episode 2 because he can't stand the Steven personality. I don't blame him.

cultshock

That's funny, my daughter loves the Steven personality, and Mr. Knight.

Toddarino

At first Steven came across really nebbish and too closely resembled Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner. Now that there are two possibly three different personalities, I’m hoping Steven will annoy me less.

Finally got around to watching this. So is Moon Knight pretty much invincible, physically? He can get impaled multiple times throughout the torso and walk off without a scratch? That's... pretty boring. It renders any and all action scenes impotent, because apparently he just can't be killed. At least, not physically. So then why show him getting into physical altercations?

Episode 1 was great, Episode 2 was lousy, this one was decent overall. I think the show needs to figure out what it's trying to be; if it's a supernatural fantasy, don't bother with the second-rate superheroics. The action scenes are perfunctory and pointless. Stick to the Egyptian Gods, avatars, mythology, mystical cosmology, etc.

Also the wife is a dreadful bore.
