I was excited when it took a bit of a sinister turn and we were left wondering what secret plan the wizards had in store.... but I guess nevermind, can't do anything too interesting or else it will distract from the handsomeness of the wizards. The exposition is also really bogging down the show. For example, I feel like it would have been far better to leave the scene with Murr and the moon a bit more ambiguous, and then let it later be contextualized by the scene where we learn that the moon is evil. As it is it feels like Shylock just narrates backstory for no reason and the audience gets treated like we can't understand anything unless it's spelled out for us.
