Gateway Shuffle (Episode 4)
For more clues into what the live-action series will pick-and-choose from when it comes to the original series, Netflix’s opening titles give us a glimpse of Maria Murdock and her animal-rights-activist henchmen from this episode. For more than just an introduction to another intriguing one-off villain, this episode lets you best appreciate a rare translation of the show’s usual penchant for smooth, slick action on the ground into a thrilling space sequence where Spike and Faye have to stop a barrage of viral missiles. It’s one of the series’ best action highlights.
