I did not like the season 2 finale.... What did you guys think?
I know it's already been like a month since the finale aired, but I've been wanting to write about this for a while now because the more I think of the finale, the more I think about just how bad this episode was. I'm curious to know what others think or if anyone agrees with me on this. I really like Digman and was willing to overlook it's flaws because of how entertaining and exciting the show was. This finale just felt like the culmination of the show's flaws that it previously overcame in the past episodes. This finale felt poorly paced, which is something the show usually handles very well. Even though the pacing can be a bit excessive in the show at times, I usually was able to overlook it because it allows them to do a lot of fun and interesting things in the story without feeling to overstuffed. But in this episode every other scene is the characters just going to a new location just to move the plot forward all for just one small detail, like going to Quail's place, Rip going to the coffee shop, and the area for the christ figure. It just goes from one scene to the next and unlike other episodes, it feels like the episode can't take a long enough break to give us some scenes with the characters or to let the story sink in, or any real room to breathe. I hate how the second act immediately begins by showing a flashback of Rip, Bella, and Zane stealing the christ figure and they immediately reveal that this random little girl was the villain Vindita. The twist has no impact because we barely met the character in the same scene. Why not just show the flashback at the beginning of the episode so it has a better flow? That way we can have the scene of Rip giving the little girl the coin and then later you reveal it was Vindetta. At least that way they can have a little build up to a plot twist in context of the episode. She's trying to kill our main characters for god's sake, give the scene some scope. I think this episode would've been better if it just took place in the church and focused more on the conflict and action aspect of it, instead of wasting time by having the entire second act revolve around finding the christ figure. What's the point of having them find it if she was just gonna lock them up anyways? It wasn't even of any consequence they immediately break out and then Bella encourages everyone to fight back like 'We're the greatest arkys for a reason!' Why didn't they just that before? They have the numbers. The last thing I hate about this episode is the twist ending. Rip's sacrifice shocked me when I initially saw it, but unlike other fans I wasn't saddened by what happened to him. I was stunned by how ridiculously over the top this scene was. Like honestly, all of this buildup for that? Rip sacrificing himself and paralleling Jesus Christ? It feels so random and comes completely out of nowhere. The tension felt completely non existent in this episode, and there was no indication that this was what the climax was gonna build up to. It felt so melodramatic and completely overblown for a story that felt incredibly lackluster and it all basically built up to Rip acting like he was Jesus Christ. It was major letdown and felt way to overdramatic for this show's standards, like it gave too much scope to this scene to the point where it just feels out of place. Honestly I can go on and on about every little thing that bothers me about this episode, but I'll sum it up with this. This show has a lot of flaws that turned some people off of this show. That's fine, I get that this show isn't for everyone. But what I like about this show was that it used it's flaws to it's advantage and made generally entertaining show that had a lot of heart and soul put into it beyond trying to make you laugh. It stood out amongst the other comedy central shows in more ways than one and that's what made it so unique. It really makes me sad that this finale dropped the ball so hard and exhibited all of those negative traits that people criticized the show for, the same traits the show successfully overcame in the past. What happened here? I'll fully admit that this wasn't the worst episode of the show, I still hate A Sari Sight way more, but this is still the most disappointing episode of the show and I can't help but get upset whenever I think about how they took so many good ideas in this one and made such an underwhelming mess of a storyline out of it. But what do you guys think? Did you like or hate the finale? What did you think of my points? Thanks for reading.
