Episode Summary & Review
Summary
At Arthur and the Tick’s one year anniversary of becoming a team, the group recalls how Captain Liberty, angry at the Tick for stealing her thunder and for his overconfidence, sics 112-year old villain The Terror on the Tick and Arthur.
Our Take
A mostly forgettable clip-show style episode that leans on flashbacks instead of moving things forward, which feels like a weird choice this early in the season. Jackie Earle Haley is clearly having fun as The Terror and those scenes deliver the best laughs, but the framing device around the anniversary party is thin. Worth a quick watch for him alone, just keep expectations low.
