Anyone catch the new Spider-Man cartoon on MTV?

After seeing some more episodes (all of 6 have aired now that I have seen), I noticed a couple things:

1) A pattern of man, woman, man, woman, man, woman has emerged as the badguys so far! ;) However, looking at the synopsis for upcoming episodes (posted above) this pattern does continue for a couple more episodes but then eventually breaks down. I just find random occurances that form patterns to be interesting :)

2) In the second episode that was on tonight, with Christina (sp?) being Parker's lab partner for the Psych project, is the guy that Parker talks to Max (aka the Electro from the first episode) ? If it is, the order of the episodes OR the timeline is out of synch. He looked the same, and Parker called him by name once (but I missed it)... but, I could simply be confusing him with someone else. Can anyone confirm?

3) As I said in an earlier post on this same thread, I am enjoying the stories.. still trying to adjust to the animation though. After watching some more episodes, I am a little more used to it, but, still not comfortable with it.

4) Pacing of these most recent two episodes seems off (just feels really slow at one or two points and way too fast at another point)... is that just me?

5) I couldn't stop chuckling when the "MTV movie award" was used as a prop piece and stolen in that one episode :D

6) Oh yeah, isn't the sign that the Lizard gets thrown through the same one that Electro hits? -when I saw it, it just looked familiar but I could simply be remembering incorrectly.

edit: added #6

Same guy, he was in the next ep preview as the villain as well.
 

I can't figure out why they are showing them out of order? It's making some of the side stories confusing. The Parker & MJ relationship doesn't make much sense because it changes so drastically from episode to episode due to them being obviously out of order. Not a complaint against the show just against Mtv's programing department.

Yeah, as I watched a couple of the other episodes, I came to realize it must be airing out of order (or they purposely have the show jump around within its own timeline)... the MJ/PP relationship issues being the biggest recurring clue here since the continuity in their relationship is non-existant... they'll talk about being friends, talk about "having already tried the dating thing" etc.

If it's being done on purpose, I have to say (my opinion) it's annoying and I don't like that particular choice :)
