This is going from bad to worse.
Everything is boring, there are no stakes, no risk, nothing, everything is so convenient, it's not fun to watch. Even the whole conflict among humans didn't matter at all, in the end, it was an emotional obstacle that didn't change the plot at all.
And surprise surprise, the character that doesn't do anything was convenient to the plot because sure why not, at least it was an established character that felt important and not just a random background character, right?
I wanna take this show seriously, but I can't, this season compared to the first feels like a joke, I can't help but treat it like one, and the ending of this episode is such a great example: the antagonists lure in the protagonists for a final confrontation that will be the climax, perfect, the protagonists can finally stop fucking around and actually have a goal, but this is a hard task that they don't know how to overcome, perfect, just like the first season, overcoming a problem they know nothing about, but no, why would we have an interesting climax, let's just give the protagonists a fucking guide on how to infiltrate the big evil place, nice job writing, I almost felt like this was worth watching.
And even tho they have the equivalent to a game guide to beat the final boss, the loyal rational dude is the one that betrays them, what in the actual hell, the psycho girl was a much more volatile character, why wasn't she the one betraying them, that would be a more fitting development than "dumb bitch is evolving, dumb bitch just learned empathy".
I honestly don't know what I'm watching at this point. Season 2 is to Season 1 what Hunt down the Freeman is to the Half-Life games.
There are 2 episodes left according to MAL, I'm gonna watch them of course, the ship has already gone down, but I want to see how much deeper it sinks.
