this finale was something of a disappointment, not terrible, but definately a step down compared to the rest of the series. The tree was introduced very late in the game as a way to explain the sick, that in retrospect would have been better left unexplained... expecially disappointing was the music that I really liked till the final few episodes. Overall the series was nice as a whole and didn't really push the message of "tecnology bad", really more of a "let the old world die".
I noticed you never brought a star wars tv show finale, is it because you are a fan too and you have seen them or you just don't care? If you haven't seen them, it would be cool to bring the "bad batch" or the "rebels" finale, the clone wars one, for how amazing, is close to being a 25 min long action sequence with little weight witout the rest of the series
After this review went up, I read up about the series. What you're saying tracks well with what I read: the tree shows up only at the very end, and it doesn't look like the plotline was thought through very well. It's clear the production was rushed - how hard would it have been to record two more lines of dialogue to patch the changes that were made to the harpoon scene?
Regarding Star Wars, I actually intended on doing The Bad Batch last month, but I had very little time that week and switched it out for "Bob Hearts Abishola", whose finale had a shorter runtime (a longer episode means more than just the time to watch it - it takes longer to write and edit the review, write the discussion section, the episode at the end, and scan the episode for good screenshots). I can definitely put The Bad Batch back on the schedule. I can also review Rebels as well, but not The Clone Wars because I've watched some of it.
great one as alwais!
