Interesting. As you may have seen from mine, I thought it took a while for RV to grow into the role of Napoleon. I don't rewatch Iowa Scuba much, but it is well directed, the headquarters scenes are excellent, and I'm sure I've mentioned before (!) the scenes in the silo remind me of some Japanese films. But it's so old school in a way. I see it as kind of a watershed moment, because the next episode is Quadripartite, and the series jumps into the 60's. I'm surprised though, that you don't like Quadripartite and Giucco Piano more.

Fiddlesticks is wonderful.
