Season 2, Episode 3
8/10
Great world expansion episode but unrealistic characters remain the biggest drag.

Starting to notice some slip ups and cracks in the script department...all in all a good episode... really great first half with Allen the Alien. Second half not so much apart from the last second cliff hanger. Also the series is starting to over do it with the credits thing. We get it, It was fun in the beginning but come on...it's becoming to much now. It just jarrs up the viewing.

And now to the characters. Some of the characters continue to exhibit an immense affinity to being overly dense and dismissive. Like how is the guardians blatantly shrugging off the ridiculous and obviously unwell maniac that is shapesmith (albeit hilarious) character to get access to their team is beyond me..How did Civil and his team not vet him first? So many questions that can only have dumb answers... How did William get to Marc that fast? Did he get some sort of speedster powers between the seasons that we're not aware of?... How did Amber make a complete a 180 turn to the point where she's now being a submissive robot of a girlfriend... Just feels like a totally different character now. The series could've found a middle ground from 1st seasons awful Amber to this potato of a character. It's super jarring to watch.... Why the made up drama between Debbie and the Taye Diggs character that could be seen miles away?? Obviously Debbie had nothing to do with Omniman being a psychotic massmurderer...Was he not listening to anything Debbie was saying about him? Wtf?.... I really hope these type of questions don't continue showing up since this show has so much potential to be something really special!
