Season 2 is fantastic but there is a weird plot line that ended up being dumb and gross.

Pretty much everything besides that was fantastic.

except when the station depressurized and people were flying out. Sorry but The Expanse killed that trope sci-fi writers.

Almost Human was a one-season show that kind of felt like what a Caves of Steel TV show would be.

Such a shame it was cancelled.

But it totally worked and made sense, I dunno why you're mad about it. It was gross, but they built it well and it did make sense.

I watched the first few episodes and was hooked, and then the plot began to fall apart and get stupider and stupider. Now I'm up to Episode 7 and I don't understand wtf is happening. Does it get better? Is it worth finishing?

I mean you came this far, I'd say you owe it to yourself to finish it. Episode 8 is not too bad, and certainly memorable. The show rapidly loses focus, and it is pretty divorced from the source material in both plot and theme, but it's pretty to watch and has good things to offer scene-by-scene as a sci-fi show generally.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

List of new characters was announced for season 2. From the names (Poly Verisof, Hober Mallow, Bel Riose, and the "Psychic Warlord of Kalgan" sounds like it's going to take from the final two stories of Foundation and both parts of Foundation and Empire. Though who knows to what actual degree.

The huge psychic battle is over, the ship is screaming towards the black hole.

HEROINE: I'm shooting at the black hole but the ship won't stop!

Shots from her gun tear through the front window of the ship, seemingly vanishing as the windows craze and sputter. Shot of the crew looking to her as she scowls...

HEROINE: Harr..!?

The final bullet plinks off what looks like a small black painted target in front of the ship that starts spinning. The ship stops moving, lights stop flash, confusion takes over.
A hologram appears.

HARRY: I placed that cardboard target there a thousand years ago, can you guess why?

The hologram tips his fedora, credits roll.




That's at least better than like episode 8.

I hope season 2 is just Lee Pace’s Cleon realizing the empire is hosed and he embarks on a 9 episode junket of debauchery, fully oiled up and at least shirtless the entire time.

Then in episode 10 I hope he nukes every character associated with season 1

When I give a small hand signal, everything associated with season one will be obliterated, including all the viewers.
