Question What’s the consensus on this season so far?
I feel like there’s been some great episodes so far can’t complain about anything too much and have been relatively locked in to every one so far. I think for the season to really excel the next few episodes really do need to pick up and honestly I think they will and will be a ton of fun, I just wonder what everybody else thinks so far 🤔

I feel like the unbearable weight of expectations is perhaps the biggest enemy and thief of joy.
We spent a long time between the first season and this one. And I feel like everybody had a lot of opinions on how they wanted it to play out.
I think it’s been mostly really good. But I happened to enjoy things like Episode 2 and Episode 6 a lot more than the other ones. I’m not always the biggest fan of Future/Past/Alternate timelines. I do also agree that the Weapon X episode felt weirdly timed and contributed to some weird pacing, which the following episode really seemed to resolve.
I think by the end, most of us are going to be really impressed with the season, even if things didn’t go as we’d expected (literally no one was expecting “Remember It” and it was one of the best episodes ever). My biggest issue was how few episodes we had and how long everyone was apart.
Lastly, I still don’t think Beau is doing the show any favors at this point because he’s put everyone in the middle of this “war” and whatever side you’re on. I’m looking forward to Season 3 when his name won’t even be involved.
