The salt

In From the Cold. I felt it was a tense look into just how overpowered the WoL really is compared to generic soldiers. Felt like a genuine "oh crap" moment, and a chance to show that we're still the hero trying our hardest even without all of our power.

Odd as it feels to say it, Zenos. As anyone who's seen any of my many many comments on him before can attest, I really don't like him, but EW actually put some exploration into his character. And not by some tired "oooh, but he had a tragic childhood!" nonsense; by doubling down on his self-absorbed sociopathy and forcing him to take a look at it. The fact that he doesn't get a redemption arc is also a plus; not everyone can be redeemed, after all.

While Elpis as a whole was a bit of a mess, it was nice to actually get to see the Ancients and learn about how they were as actual people, rather than just through Emet-Selch's rose-tinted nostalgia goggles.
