In terms of everything else there were definitely some questionable decisions.An in media res start in the middle of a fight would be great if this was a fight with some random mooks or something where the beginning is predictable, perfunctory, and doesn't do any important character building. But since it involves villains who are being established and built up as major antagonists it seems like the start of the fight is something we should see, especially since the prior episode left us on a cliffhanger of them finding the party. It feels more like we just skipped 3 or 4 scenes. Maybe the scenes were planned and didn't quite work. Maybe they were too expensive.Willow has a flamethrower? I'm probably fine with that, but it feels like something you need to explain relatively quickly after throwing it out there. Especially since he also possesses a magic wand which is what I assumed he was using, until a later shot where he clearly is holding a very different object.The brownie cameo made little sense, but it satisfied one of the obligations of a Willow revival in a way that was fun, didn't overstay its welcome, and didn't derail the plot, so I'll give it a pass.</blockquote>
