What I liked about S1 was that it was a bit tighter than The Walking Dead. Pedro Pascal, of course, is always great to watch. I liked the little vignettes as the road trip across America played out.

S2 lost all of that momentum. Interpersonal moments became overly contrived. The show settles into a predictable pacing of running, action, stop and talk, running... Actors get even less to work with and good character moments are sparse and mostly used for cliffhanger bait.

I just want grumpy Pascal escorting a vulnerable but sassy child/alien across a map and making/killing friends along the way. I do not want a late 00s zombie c-movie with theater actors doing metaphors about Israel/Palestine. Especially when the punchline is "Wow, Israelis sure are brutal but have you seen what they're fighting?"

What did YOU think about S2 and its ending?

no kidding. what a dumb, smash cut to black cliffhanger ending.

I thought for sure they were just tee-ing up a final little arc about Abby's recent days' POV that would end with the end of the season. seeing as how this season was just 7 episodes and the first was 9.

I guess they really want to milk this shit by turning what seems like a little wrap up into a whole 3rd season.

even sidestepping my antipathy towards the main character and her conflict, that's just mediocre showrunning.

Sir Tony Gilroy would NEVER do this.
