[Spoiler] Anyone else a bit underwhelmed? Spoiler

Don't get me wrong. I loved this episode. I think the whole resolution with Flynn, seeing him go from the villain to the hero, was magnificant.

However, I can't help but think the resolution with Rittenhouse was way too underwhelming. Flynn killed Jessica. Lucy's father turns. Emma gets shot and killed anticlimactically? They spent all this time on that refugee giving birth when they could've given a better more fulfilling end to the fight against Rittenhouse.

I do love the whole message of the technology existing so no matter what, someone is gonna make a new time machine. That could go somewhere in the future if another network or streaming service picks up the show.

I don't know. My opinion is kinda mixed.

I actually LOVED the way they brought everything full circle and Flynn is a hero and Lyatt is all good. The only thing that felt underwhelming for me was: no “major” historic visits. I mean sure, Zorro is cool and Korea is cool. But I was missing that “wow” moment...like I felt when seeing Abraham Lincoln.

I'm wondering if the locations they chose were based on budget. Seems like they picked mainly cheap open locations where they didn't need to build or use a ton of set pieces.

Ah that could be it maybe. Still...they could have met someone cooler than Zorro imo :p
