My final thoughts and impressions of “Danger 5” before moving onto new things with “Off the Beaten Path”.
Here we are, at the series finale of “Danger 5”. The question is, does it serve as a fitting conclusion?
In the penultimate episode of “Danger 5”, we revisit the world of season one. From there we not only get some wacky character interactions, but we see how far the characters have come.
Against the backdrop of a Nazi zombie apocalypse in the theme park that is U.S.S.R-Land, we get a surprisingly rich portrait of character development, concluding story lines, and finale buildup.
Oh man, “Un Sacco Di Natale” is starting to remind me why I didn’t tend to rewatch these episodes of season 2. Read more about why inside.
With “Revenge of the Lizard Men” we get both a quasi-sequel to “Lizard Soldiers of the Third Reich” and a shot of adrenaline to the season 2 story arc. The question is, can the show juggle everything successfully?
With “Johnny Hitler”, both the team and the villains infiltrate a high school, creating the most mundane yet most surreal episode yet.
With “Merry Christmas Colonel”, we leave behind the pulpy 60’s for the flashy and excessive 80’s. The question is, is the transition successful?
For the season one finale of “Danger 5”, we get an episode that’s good with setup and closure, but not as much with the individual elements.
