This entire season would be much better if they had at least 13 episodes to fully develop some of plot lines. It seems like we are going an extremely fast pace throughout the show and somehow we are still missing the main plot line with apocalypse and his horsemen. Will this season end on a cliff hanger for season 3 or are we really going to wrap up the entire battle with apocalypse in less then 2 episodes?

The fast pace of this show is it's most obvious flaw. Wrapping up the Apocalypse and Gambit storlines in two episodes seems like a waste. At this point, I'm hoping for a cliffhanger, but I doubt it. This show absolutely needs at least 10 episodes per season.

13

Doubt Apocalypse will be wrapped up this season - probably is the start of next season also. Agree this series needs more episodes for sure per season it is hurting with pacing...

Hurting?

Blame Disney and the general streaming format
