In reviewing individual episodes of some excellent series I have noticed that the weaker episodes are useful for establishing a baseline.
And this is one of the weakest in the series, especially disappointing after the buildup to parallel dimensions from the last season.
It is OK and fine to allow character buildup.
But what the writers overlooked at the is that the viewer watches with a constant vigilance (if you will) for non-logical events or paradoxes. If you introduce these, you lose the viewer.
In this story, Peter is going all James Bond with no gun or backup. He does this several times, finally getting captured and tortured for his trouble.
Didn't make sense to me when I was watching and does not make sense while writing about it.
Weak.
