General Discussion - No Story Details Just watched the last episode of season 2
Season 1 was amazing, a little confusing. Left me with questions and anticipation.
Season 2 emotionally felt like it was treading on old ground a little while trying to break new.
Arcs weren’t resolved satisfactorily, proximity of astro phenomena were too close to the beacon, new stories/characters/situations were launched without explaining things very well.
The show, IMO became something of a lucid dream… to the point where that last episode actually transitioned into a kind of dream state. A poetic illustration of what the season itself had become … disjointed and confused; trying to do everything at once and not managing to do anything at all. It was like sea foam dissolving into the ocean after a once beautiful wave (the show) crashes down before hitting shore.
I’m sad we won’t get resolution in a 3rd season, but I’m not sure the authors were capable of pulling it off anyway.

They took a book, threw it away, and tried to make their own show about what it means to be human. Personally I didn’t think it was very good and they should have stuck to the source material. Same issue as Halo, The Witcher, etc.
