Join us as we discuss topics such as:
- So little occurred in episodes 5 and 6 that we cut our series by an episode
- Season 2 was only half a season's worth of story
- A whole lot of putting things out there and not a whole lot of tying things up
- Felt like just a poor rehash of Season 1
- Drew poorly tells Dev about Korea's mandatory public service
- Fever dream of a kid telling you a story. Story of "And Thens".
- No excitement for Season 3
- Season 2 should have been 30 minute episodes to pace it better and cut out unneeded material
- It seems like the show is allergic to character growth

456:
- Motivations and actions are understandable
- He would not sacrifice the few for the sake of the many
- Lucks out on everything he does

Handsome Cop:
- Was even more useless in Season 2
- May have even ha negative/backward character progression
- Nothing was accomplished by HC or the paramilitary force

011:
- The season successfully got the audience to not care about 011
- Doesn't seem to have a path to redemption

222:
- Needed more lines

230:
- TOP and Big Bang were awesome but Thanos was not
- Suspect that writers or producers changed TOP's character to be campy and over-the-top
- Very akin to wrestlers moving to acting

120:
- Directly saw the outcome of her choices and was the only powerful moment in the season
- Was a great moment with even better acting
- Refreshingly did not treat the trans character as campy or comedic

380:
- Death season was pulled directly out of Saving Private Ryan

Blue Lock
- Drew an Dev talk about Blue Lock for 20 minutes
- Succeeded in every way Squid Game season 2 failed
- Motivations and character progression make sense
- Contains character growth
- Actually describe the purpose of bringing the people together

Thanos = Comedic and annoying Joffrey from Game of Thrones
