To me the pacing still felt rather rushed. I agree that the whole "golden bunnies" idea is rather lame, but the original show also had such moments (sweet baby among us, ants in the pants, etc.).

I think Catnappi is still the same, it's just that, just as with Jack from season 1 to season 2 of XS, the monks have become better, stronger, more skilled, etc. while Cat herself hasn't changed a lot, even her costume is relatively the same, not to mention that she appears to be missing her fluffy adorable sidekick genetically modified kittens (I guess her parents might have taken them away from her?).

I'm just happy to see that Jack is the way he was in seasons 1-2 of XS instead of how he was at season 3...

I actually hope they make Jack more competent as the series progresses instead of making him either stagnant or useless (as was the case with XS).

I'm also happy to see Clay and Kimiko seemingly getting more screen-time and lines instead of the show seeming to be all about Omi and Raimundo, as it was starting somewhere in season 2 of XS and season 3 of XS especially. Of all the main characters Clay and Kimiko need the attention the most along with Ping Pong (since he's a new character).

Speaking of Ping Pong, while I grew to like him in the first 3 episodes, he seemed a bit Gary Stu-ish in this episode by knowing all that information, especially when you take into account that Dojo should have been able to know at least some information concerning the bunnies, etc. Ping Pong, as a new character, being more or less the only person to know this when he just joined the monks just didn't sit right to me.

But, by the end of the episode he didn't seem as Gary Stu-ish since he didn't solve the dilemma the monks had pertaining to stopping Jack and his team.

Speaking of Jack's team, I do hope they get fleshed out more instead of just simply being there and shouting "Yes we/I CAN" before starting to fight.

I also really miss seeing different transportation vehicles when it comes to Jack T.T, not to mention that I find the van's design rather bland, his old vehicles had a more steampunk-ish feel to them, this one just feel generic.

Then again, I think Jack might have financial problems or at least no longer has access to his parents' funds.

Oh well, the next episode should be today/tomorrow.
