Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Just got through episode 5 of season 2 and really liking the second season a lot more than the first. I didn't dislike the first but it was hit or miss for me on most things. The second season seems a bit more confident, the world is obviously larger, and even the fight scenes seem better as well as seeming a lot out right gorier.

I guess the set up for everything from season 1 was worth it as even the characters have grown on me. I couldn't stand Quinn in the first season but him in full crazy mode is much more enjoyable and Sonny has grown on me a lot. That and Nick Frost really helps round things out on the humor end of the spectrum. The whole affair just seems like a real step up and is a lot more enjoyable.

The weakest element so far has been the stuff with the super powered monks. Its not bad and its cool to see the master is a woman but it kind of felt a bit rote. That and I'm not a big fan of the M.K.

just finished season 2.

was a solid season despite a terrible character
in odette (none of her plot points were well done or interesting) up until the ending which was just terrible.

no emotions felt at all due to horrible writing at the end.

sunny has over 400 kills to his name, he knows far better than to leave a wounded man such as quinn around and not finish the job. It quickly became obvious what they were forcing, and instead of feeling sadness for losing veil just watched annoyed that the writers decided to ruin a mostly well written season with such trash at the end.

beyond that nothing good can come from sunny needing to watch over a baby next season :/
 
Catching up on the season. It's remarkable how much MK sucks. I'm on episode 4 and kinda annoyed Sunny isn't in more scenes, he's the only reason I'm interested in the show.

Very Disappointing ending plot wise, felt super cheap and they did it just for the sake of it.

THIS. THIS. THIS. Damn, I'm still pissed about that ending,
all I was thinking after Quin fell was "fucking finish him off", I mean, how is he suddenly daft? My next thought is, "man I hope he kills her when he inevitably comes back to life"

That was a really cheap plot device, super lazy on the part of everyone. Don't know if I have it in me to watch it anymore, and according to wiki, the viewership is plummeting. Might not be back next season.
