Let's Talk About LEGO MASTERS Episode 8 - "Good Vs. Evil"

The LEGO Masters semifinals just happened, and they were nuts! It was a team competition where two teams had to work together, but they were also separate. It was definitely an interesting challenge. If you haven’t watched the episode “Good Vs. Evil,” this is your spoiler warning. New episodes air on Wednesdays on Fox with episodes available the next day on Hulu.

OK, for me it was a real toss up between Mark & Boone’s build and Tyler & Amy’s build. I loved both of the builds so much. I felt like Mark & Boone’s was maybe a little more unique and creative with the pizza monster thing. That’s why I was a little shocked when Tyler & Amy beat them overall. Both teams did great though, and I will be shocked if Sam & Jessica end up taking home the gold. They’re good, but I feel like Mark & Boone and Tyler & Amy are better.

Did anyone else notice the stark contrast between the two teams? Mark & Boone with Sam & Jessica seemed a lot more cooperative and chummy while Aaron & Christian and Tyler & Amy were almost begrudgingly working together. You kept hearing from both teams that they had to work together, but it was still a competition. Maybe it was just because Mark & Boone weren’t really needing to compete since they had the Golden Brick, and so they didn’t care as much?

In the end, I think the judges did make the right call about cutting Aaron & Christian. They’re fantastic builders, and if the competition was more about technical builds, I think they should’ve stayed. However, they seem to really struggle with the story aspects on a lot of their builds. Sam & Jessica may have less polished builds, but they have gotten a lot better at telling stories with their builds.

Can we take a minute to talk about how amazing Terry Crews was as a guest? It was absolutely incredible! Best guest appearance yet.

I cannot wait to see what the teams do next week for their Star Wars builds in the finale. It looks like many of the droids will be paying a visit, but I wonder if anyone else like Mark Hamill or Harrison Ford will stop by.
