Monarch: Legacy of Monsters S1 E3

Spoilers

“Secrets and Lies”

The third episode of Monarch brought us Godzilla… and destroyed him with an H-bomb.

Not sure how I felt about that.

It was an incredible scene and some amazing images of Godzilla, especially on the old time camera, but the explosion was just uncertain for me.

I love the two groups we are following in each of the time frames. Both include Lee Shaw, younger played by Wyatt Russell and older played by Kurt Russell. There was such a great cut transitioning from old Lee to young Lee. It was a wonderful editing moment.

The monster at the end of the episode looks awesome and seems to be a wild danger. Since we learn that Cate and Kentaro’s father survived the trip but is now somewhere in hiding. I expect that he’ll pop up next time.

I do think that this was my favorite episode so far. The car driving by Kurt Russell (and airplane landing too) were all kind of fun.
