The Outpost - season 2

[Dimensional Traveler]

This evening I finished working my way thru season two of 'The Outpost'.
I'm not really sure if the season made any sense or not. The finale
seems like the perfect setup for the show's cancellation, a blood bath
among the regulars and a cliffhanger setup for a major increase in the
power levels being messed around with in the potential season three.

IIRC that’s pretty much how Ian felt about it too.

I suppose I’ll keep watching as long as Jessica Green is there but it would
be easier to just stop watching anything on the CW entirely.

Basically, every successive season of "The Outpost" has been worse than
the one before it, unforunately.

As I told you earlier, I'm basically on the fence - they've killed my
three favorite characters, one per season, and the show's storyline
bears almost no resemblence to the season #1 version. (Remember when
the show had the "Greyskins"?! 'Cos I'm pretty sure they've totally
forgotten about it...)

Anyway, the most recent "major character death" was probably the last
straw for me, and I was supremely *unpsyched* about what the season #3
finale was setting up for "season #4" (or whatever The CW ends up
calling it).

Now you're making me wonder which season I watched. I just finished the
one with the black bloods returning and kinj mind controlling the world.
*google-fu*
Okay, checking at Futon Critic I watched season 3. Sorry about that.
And apparently 13 more episodes were ordered back in October.

No problem, we knew what you meant. The CW has been chopping blocks of
episodes in half and reassigning season numberings mostly just to piss off
Ian. I’d hold them accountable but which of us is not guilty of doing
something to accomplish that goal?
