A slightly late reply, but thank you! Good to know that I have done a great job breaking down the common complaints thrown toward the episode.

Clearly the episode was never meant to be akin to episodes such as "The Origins: Part One and Two" and "The Choices" as the main premise revolves around a baby trying to murder her older brothers. Still, it would have been nice for the episode to relish in the moment as opposed to bringing it to such a weak abrupt, or at the very least, finish the episode with a stronger ending. However, it is a small gripe that does not destroy this episode. It was still a great season opener!
