Yeah, I can see that. It worked for me, especially with the three or four episodes leading up to the finale and her attachment to the baby. But I get why it wouldn't work totally for some. That makes sense.Rangi Guy wrote:Serena's arc seemed to come around a bit too quick for my liking - I think that was the biggest thingdurdencommatyler wrote:What was too easy for you?Rangi Guy wrote:Finally got around to finishing this off.

It wasn't totally out of the realms of reality - you could definitely see it heading that way, just thought it needed a bit more developmentdurdencommatyler wrote:Yeah, I can see that.

I agree that S2 was a bit of mess in that sense from time to time. For how long the season was, it's weird when things felt under developed or miss managed. The suicide bombing is another example, I think. That had so much less impact/consequence that I expected. It's like they wanted to do something daring and shocking but didn't really know what to do with the story after that.Rangi Guy wrote:It wasn't totally out of the realms of reality - you could definitely see it heading that way, just thought it needed a bit more developmentdurdencommatyler wrote:Yeah, I can see that.

Well it certainly hasn't descended into TWD territory of 'We have no real idea how to proceed'.

Still, excellent show all around.
