I originally wasn't going to watch season 2 but then I heard they got Matt Fraction and Jonathan Hickman to write episodes so I guess I'm back in.

I'm also hoping that the move to South America cuts down on the Medici story arc which is kind of boring.

Wasn't Leonardo into men? This show is highly historically accurate and features lots of man love I hope.

I'm pretty sure there was some mention in the first season of men he'd been in relationships with but they've pretty much just stuck him with ladies during the show.

Haha, Leonardo imitating Riario is pretty great.

Nah, it looks like they're still going to have all the stuff with Florence in it. Its just become completely disconnected from the Leonardo stuff as he's off to the New World.

Unfortunately since one is pretending to be the other it isn't a Pope and Anti-Pope situation.

Sometimes it really feels like they make Leonardo way too smart. So you end up with stuff like this where he figures out the heliocentric model of the solar system all by himself.

My problem with the first season is that it was very inconsistent. It would also be easier to swallow Leonardo basically inventing everything if they weren't also doing the (mostly) realistic Italian politics stuff. There's also an issue where the Florence vs Rome stuff doesn't have a lot of overlap with the Book of Leaves quest.

I was a little worried about how hackneyed the "I'll name this place after me" joke but I laughed at the "Vespuccia" punchline.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the corn in this week's episode not look like that? Like the kernels should be smaller and darker and basically not look like modern corn.

Riario just stabbed a dude with CORN.

Edit: Ghost Juliano's beard looks super fake.

Something I didn't like about last week's episode was how they had Lorenzo legitimately winning the test. It really seems like something he should have found an alternate way out of.

Kind of weird how the Secret Archive Bishop has all these Batman tools.

One thing I think this season really doesn't need is even more fracturing of the stories. The first season had enough problems keeping the story going through two plot threads, this season expanding it further hasn't fared any better.

Kind of funny how they completely short circuited the Florence stuff with Leonardo's travel back.

I know they don't want to show stuff on Memorial Day weekend but its pretty loving stupid to take a break ONE week from the finale.

I guess I'm glad they're getting another season because that would have been a pretty annoying series finale.
