Season 2, Episode 9
5/10
Huh? That's the season finale?

So, I'll start out with the good. The acting and soundtrack in this episode were amazing, even more so than usual. We got some interesting scenes and the camera work was on point. Walter's character development was also quite satisfying and this was a long time coming, Elijah Wood is really good in this role.

But that's about all I can say that was good about the episode. Season 1 was a a really good snow burn, cross genre and season 2 has seemingly devolved into more of just a slow, mediocre show that has its moments. So many things just seemed rushed and out of place in this finale - given that it was only 9 episodes as opposed to 10 makes me wonder if two episodes got smooshed into one for some reason?

I'll still be looking forward to season 3 but I honestly hope that's where they end it. After 2 seasons of being mostly interested in the plane crash story line I don't want to endure through another 16-20 episodes of droplets of story progression. While we got a handful of answers we also wound up with even more questions. Even though season 2 had some great high points it also had some pretty low, low points and I'd rather finish the series quick and strong.
