After the time jump, I'm going to need two years to recover. Season 3 can't come soon enough!
It has had a good run. A bit sad they didn't give the show the dignity to just die after 2 decent seasons. It's just going to keep going downhill from here. Just gonna pretend i didn't see that dumb cliffhanger at the end.
Those last 3 minutes were stupid. Count me out of season 3.
it's suddenly Alias!
why!??
i hate the ending, while i've already in joyness half of this episode.
then, no twist what so ever, only time skip
That was a really great episode that tied everything off nicely... & then we had that ridiculous epilogue, which might as well have been replaced by a scene where they actually jump over a shark, because WHAT. Two characters get together purely because they're the main characters, even though they don't belong together. Then suddenly it's 2 years later she's hanging out in Asia, & then he shows up (& I guess they were married or something cos she mentions a ring?) saying their whole team got kidnapped & a box got left behind, & they both have to touch it to open it, & then they both touch the item inside it & a picture just appears on metal, & then they hold it next to the tattoo it depicts & ALL HER TATTOOS START GLOWING like WTF.
I don't know what's worse, the ridiculous sci-fi tech on display (I know they pull a lot of shit that isn't possible on this show, but this is just stupid), or the fact that the setup is that most of the interesting characters are out of the picture & we're left with just two characters, only one of which is interesting. Seriously, Kurt is by far the least interesting character, probably because the whole plot is based around things from his past, so the writers didn't bother developing his character beyond 'angry guy who shouts a lot', & this would be fine (plenty of other interesting characters after all, & if that's his thing then hey that's his thing) were it not for the fact that the bloody show keeps presenting him as if he was anything other than dull. I'd much rather have him be the one who got kidnapped & everyone else had to get together to find him.
Unless that whole bit turns out to be a dream sequence or something...
What.the.fuck!!! What the hell happened? Never would I have thought that this show would turn out to be sci-fi. Other than that, the season finale was absolutely amazing. I hope that Román comes back as a good guy and I need answers. How can technology evolve so much in just a couple of years? are we talkingtime travel? That ending blew me up. I need season 3 now. I need it
Really, I never thought that the end will be migrated to a SCI-FI TV-Show ??, let's see maybe in those two years a lot happened, I need a good damn explanation to stay watching it.
Definitely enjoyed the final confrontations and resolution. A little hokeyness with the timing of the satellite decoy-handoff, but I much enjoyed just about everything else. Good stuff, good close to the big two-season story arc.
And there was something extra-satisfying about (1) learning that Shepherd was now being prepped for "enhanced interrogation" at a CIA blacksite and (2) Naz would be performing said interrogation. Well, that, and just the whole idea of neutralizing the beacon by electrocuting Shepherd over and over again. Yeeaaahh.
Then onto the two-years-later scene... I have layers of WTH going on in my head. Why is she there climbing walls and communing? What happened? And what happened, apparently all of the sudden, to the team? And Kurt took enough time away from searching for the team to personally come for Jane? Was there really no other way to get emergency word to her? And the box, and... suddenly the tattoos are all glow-in-the-dark-on-command? Whhaaaaa?? It feels rather off-the-deep-end all of the sudden. To date, the show's been mostly pretty strong in its plotting and planning, so I'm willing to give 'em a chance to flesh this out in the beginning of Season Three, but... I'll just focus on the end of Sandstorm and Shepherd (and that smile on Naz) for now, if that's okay.
Oh shit! I thought there was a 23rd episode :I
Ok, with THAT bizarre ending, i'm peacing out. Blindspot should have ended here, a messy two season run and done. Instead it was so all over the place I got whiplash trying to wrap my head around all the confusion.
It's time to quit when the show goes from police drama to massive time jump Sci-Fi in the last 3 minutes of the season close.
the ending to the main plotliine that the two seasons were based on was a bit anticlimatic... the whole thing felt really tame to the huge build-up it had and the "climax" parts were really predictable while they could have explored so much more, but yeah this is an action-packed fbi tv show with focus on fight scenes and explosions. it's dumb and a bit fun, i can handle that.
but that damn epilogue, what the hell happened there? why is jane on a mountain in asia in a retreat or something? why are they... married? why do her tattos glow and why do i feel like they're about to put this show into a sci-fi trail? also the whole epilogue was sooo contrived, the acting, the backstory, the scenario... just amateurish in so many levels, even for this show silly standards.
if i were watching this by myself i'd stop here, but I'm watching with someone and they want to continue, so... let's see where this trainwreck is headed
I've waited for almost two years to finally watch this episode! Can't even believe that it has come to an end.
I'm not sure how to feel about that ridiculous time jump, but I hope we can see a few flashbacks to fill in the blanks.
Season finale. They close the plot in one intense episode and open another, but here I go down here
That Jane Doe gizmo would have been fun two years prior during the bedroom scene. Oh well, just keep it in the sock drawer for later...

Apparently they didn't think they'd get renewed themselves after this hilariously crappy season, so they pretty much ended it, huh?
At least they had the guts to close the (main) storyline - sort of at least.
Yet they make the continuation of this tattoo thing even more ridicolous as it seems.
I'm out. The end is satisfying enough to close this show for me and the "cliffhanger" is giving me an outlook on how far they are willing to go with the stupid tattoos. Early on I said in the long run the show's downfall will be the "mysterious tattoos".
It gives a too strict frame to work in...aaaand that's exactly the reason why we got glowing tattoos now. Great.
Very well done, writers.
Edit Nov 2022:
Years later I let it stream on Amazon on the second monitor and wow. Wow.
First two seasons and Blindspot was around 5/10 with a weaker end but the 4th and 5th season bring it down to a 2/10 easily. It's that shitty. Not just bad but really, really shitty. Crazy they got to 5 seasons.
