I think the one thing this story had going for it was the subtle reveal that she was really a mad scientist. I very much liked figuring that out. After that, it all became very stereotypical and boring. Honestly, it was fun, and I'm not saying I didn't like it. But, along with Listener's complaints that the characters were all cookie-cutter tropes, there was almost no tension to the story. I mean, we could see where things were going with Albert, and then they went there, and the characters were all happy. The end.
Love is not that simple, especially for two introverted, sociopathic geniuses. Once they hit it off on the date, I was expecting to watch their relationship grow, struggle, and maybe even fail. (I didn't pay attention to how long the episode was). So when it ended with their mutual badness let's-destroy-the-world-together, I was surprised and a little disappointed.
That said, I'm probably expecting too much out of what is supposed to be a fun look at supervillian dating, which I did enjoy. I liked the different guys she went through to get to Albert, and I loved how they were on Chet 6 at the end. Fun and funny.
I think for what it was, I'm glad it wasn't any longer, it was just right for the amount of levity.
