People complained so much about the final season of GoT.
In my humble opinion the final season of Vikings is the actual disaster.
I have no idea why I endured it till the very end, I knew that I wouldn't get rewarded.
The second season is about introducing new characters (or better said: The actors playing them), while repeating mostly the same storyline in every episode, just shuffling settings and characters.
But episode 2x05 was so damn good, I'm willed to forgive a lot.
Another great season, but with mixed feelings about several character.
Drummer gets better and better, probably my favorite character by now.
Avasarala isn't flawless, which makes her even better. Stellar acting too.
Amos is becoming more and more likable, without making him a sweetheart.Good job!
Bobbie got plenty of screen time and an interesting story arc. But I hope she reunites with the rest soon.
Nagata and Holden bug me with their lasting individual irrational tendencies though. The greatest disappointment though is that there is absolutely no development or story arc for Alex Kamal. He is always there to make some helpful comments, but he pretty much doesn't exist beyond that.
Tragic how they managed to achieve their first good season with their third and final try.
I've been contemplating for a couple days now what to write about S2. Or if I should write anything at all. Because quite frankly I've written enough already over the course of this season.
So let me close by saying this: Ever since Nemesis and the ending of ENT I'm waiting for good Star Trek. And I still do. If the Abramsverse and/or DIS is the Star Trek of now than I am glad I still have the older shows.
As always, this is my personal opinion. If you like that stuff, fine by me.
This show is a highly polished turd. The acting is horrible and the storyline makes no sense. And they're doing a lot of unneeded retconning and ruining Star Trek.
This season must be the weakest. Even weaker than S6.
Crowleys mother, Rowena, is freakishly annoying and I can't understand why usually rather smart people become stupid and play along with her manipulations other than plot device reasons. We need drama between the Winchesters? Let's have her trash talk them, so they start to fight each other over nonsense again.
This season does have some good episodes but in the end are destroyed or overshadowed by apperances of Rowena, her being a central part or Metatron. Killing of cannonfodder characters to fill an episode included - based on stupidity, let's leave this save place alltogether instead of going to another room where I am alone, so the bad guys can kill me.
All while Dean becomes an assh*le. He always had these tendencies but in this season he's simply a jerk and the reasoning is the Mark of Cain. That would be acceptable but sadly this is only used if an episode needed to be filled or to have a plot to begin with.
Because filler episodes seems to be the main drive for this whole season.
It wasn't as bad as Luke Cage, but Iron First certainly isn't a good show without flaws either ... heh, actually my average episode rating is 5.615.
My biggest problem: Danny certainly isn't the smartest cookie in the world.
But he actually had pretty much nothing else to offer either, besides his problem with using his head just once.
Fighting? - Even here his character was annoying as ****. And Colleen was a much bigger joy to watch.
The craziest part though is that Ward, of all options, was by far the most interesting character, with the most interesting development and, compared to others, his decisions made actually sense from his perspective. Sometimes.
I still can't believe how shitty this show is. Luke Cage was actually a promising character in Jessica Jones, his show though ... ugh.
How I despise this product is best summed up by the character Misty Knight. When Luke & her meet the very first time it once again seems very promising ... just to fall apart beyond recognition for the rest of the season.
Follow the story and imagine what stupid / unprofessional / emotional reaction the character could make in the worst case and the most idiotic reasoning she might give to explain it ... and she will surpass your nightmares regularly!
I don't know if I should credit Simone Missick for great or terrible acting, because she tremendously adds to the painful experience. If that was intentional: Amazing job!
You might think now that I have specific problem with her and her character, but far from it. She just is my "highlight". Besides Rosario Dawson and some other minor characters, nobody achieves a C rating.
And the story, in every single detail, can only be considered a travesty.
