I don't like how there was a hatch on the bottom of Timothy's tank, that somehow magically open whenever he wanted it to, unleashing an extremely tong throught, which again, doesn't make sense, because he is a pile of human organs, and humans don't have several feet long throughts. I don't mean to sound like i enjoy complaining, but also, I don't like how Timothy is a sensless monster now, when all the other people could think normally, just in mutant bodies. Now for Casey Jones. In this series, HE IS A JERK. He barely has any lines that aren't pick-up lines on april, and he acts like he can handle anything, and that he owns the place. I would much rather like this episode if it made a little more sense.

Not all of the other mutated people were thinking normally.

Dr. Tyler Rockwell was not thinking normally. While part of it was the additional experimentation that made him susceptible to the emotional states of those around him, he was not anywhere near the frame of mind of the more human-minded mutants.

Kirby, clearly, was not thinking normally.

When he first got mutated, Timothy was not thinking normally.

It's been established that becoming a mutant doesn't necessarily mean the mutated human keeps his mind. That's why both those falling canisters of mutagen in the season premiere and the quest for a retromutagen are big deals. Mutagen is not just turning humans into sapient human animal hybrids or creating monsters out of random animals, both of which are bad enough. Mutagen can turn normal, bad, and even good people into dangerous monsters that are nothing like the people they are used to be. It's a fate worse than death.

OTOH, I do agree about Casey. I don't like him so far, but then again, he's supposed to be somewhat unlikeable at this point in time.
