Okay - I misremembered. Good. I liked Riggins.
Since everyone we care about in Windemeer is dead, or in the real world, either they have to have The Boy wake up and a) Windemeer stops existing or b) is completely reset. Which means they’ll probably do something else.
So the police force (Sherlock, Tina, and Farrah) are all shot but alive. I assume the Mage is dead, but it’s best not to assume. But without his wand is he a danger?
Why are the knights having such success in Blackwing? Shouldn’t they have been mowed down by the guns? Blackwing soldiers should have mopped the floor with them.
Is Mona looking for the role that the Universe wants her to play? Will that be part of the solution to the problem?
Looking forward to the final episode.
The knights are also armed with guns, and they have actual armour.
I Loved the Bart and Panto confrontation with Priest.
“Verily, I am a normal man, from this world”.
Bart’s glee at Panto’s martial prowess.
And Alan Tudyk is just awesome in this role.
Metal medieval armor is mostly useless against guns. They should have been mowed down.
What about Metal medieval armor forged by a mage?
That’s certainly a possibility.
I was also wondering if Bart’s holistic protection would work in Windemere, but that became a non-issue when none of army’s bullets hit her.
Nasty wound on Mr Priest’s face. Panto is (was) a bad ass fighter.
Mona morphing into the gun was priceless, as was Ken’s figuring it out. We don’t know a lot of Ken’s backstory. He was working for bad guys, but came off as an “every man” once he encountered Bart. Maybe he’s not so nice, even if he genuinely likes Bart.
Bart: “That’s the way I wanted to go all along…”
Ken’s pretty damn bright. Went from captive locked in his taxi to running the place. Now stupid guy is likely dead, as are most of the employees and even Priest is answering to him. He’s now the head of Blackwing!
And as he said once, they shouldn’t keep those people locked up, they should let them loose and just keep an eye on them.
He hasn’t got the wand–he’s either dead or powerless, either way a nonthreat (although I’d love to watch Farrah beat his ass for a few minutes). In a similar vein, I don’t know whether I want to see Bart buzz up the bad guys in a Kill Bill-style frenzy or if it would be enough to just see her doggish grin after the fact. Clearly she took her holistic mojo with her to Windemere because bullets still don’t work on her.
I think The Boy ends up in Windemere with the wand and hits the reset button.
And am I looking too hard for a link between Bart and Dirk’s quasi-girlfiend, The Beast?
I really hope they meet, and can’t stand one another.
I forgot, she’s the only person we met in Windemeer who is still alive and in Windemeer. The only other people we’ve met from there that is still alive was the Mage’s military commander who now reports to Susie and is killing everyone in Blackwing. Everyone from the two families have been killed, as well as Witchypoo and the other forest creatures.
Beast is really quite smitten with Dirk. If she figures out Bart once wanted to kill Dirk it could get interesting.
Oh, Bart 
Strong ending, reset button was no surprise but I thought fairly well done. I can’t imagine what the wand will lead to next.
After Todd’s comment about Beast did Dirk indicate he is asexual? Or did he just mean he wasn’t into Beast Girl?
I thought that was a pretty bold decision to change things the way they did. The relationship between Bart and Ken is irreparably changed. I stick with my contention that Ken isn’t a good guy.
Mr Priest looked very interesting all taped up like that. Not sure about Suzie’s horror but I assume it’s more about her overall situation, not that she was in a flying train. Her family seems much better off without her.
Ken seems to have gone bad on us. Bart will probably have to kill him eventually.
I hope the overarching story doesn’t take over too much from fun cases. I also hope they don’t leave us hanging for too long on what happens to Friedkin and Bart. Or, perhaps each new case involves another Blackwing project but in surprising and interesting ways.
I haven’t read the books. What was its take on the nature of the universe?
We have so far an actress, a detective and an assassin (or a weapon) and a maker. They should do a crossover so we can get a Doctor. Just kidding. They should not do that.
I can’t believe Ken would do Bart like that. After he sort of opened her eyes to her own humanity, to just take it away like that. I hope she learns the same lesson that the Iron Giant did. Also, Ken has to know that Bart is in the facility for only as long as she doubts herself. Poor Bart.
I thought the season was moderately entertaining: I thought the story was stronger, albeit less intricate, than the first season. I figured out the coma guy must be “the boy” in episode 4 (where they went into the house-within-a-house) and that took away some of the mystery, I suppose.
I’m still not a big fan of the “shadowy government agency kidnapping people with supernatural powers” storyline, though. It doesn’t seem particularly Douglas Adams-y to me.
I loved Friedkin’s story arc. I hope he’s not dead-dead, but he’s behind the scenes or reality and he understands. He just wants to be a good guy, and managed to stand up to Ken when it counted most.
And The Rowdy 3 are now 6, with the addition of the Beast. She looks like a regular biker chick. And Amanda ended up with the wand, wonder what’s going happen with that?
Cases solved with arguable efficiency.
I’d say non-existent, but I’m not quite sure that’s right either. The first book was adapted from a rejected Dr. Who script that Adams wrote. The second shares a bit with American Gods in that it has the conceit that older gods still exist, they just don’t have very much power due to being ignored. In any case, Blackwing, everyone who isn’t Dirk, etc. doesn’t exist. Other than the name, the show really doesn’t have anything to do with the books.
Maaaaaaan, I like Ken and want him to be a strong, regular character with a great arc, but I will drop him in a New York minute if he’s gonna stay a bad guy. Dangit.
Poor Bart.
Was Ken ever good? Even before season 1 he’s been looking out for Ken, willing to do whatever shady tech job for whomever. The only reason he was hanging with Bart was because she said she’d kill him if he didn’t accompany her.
Rethink his participation in this adventure as someone devoid of morality but desperate to stay off the radar–that works. He is uneasy with all the killing because Bart is scary good at it, but it also might draw attention to him. He’s nice to Bart, but it would seem imprudent not to be. He recognizes Friedkin’s desperate ineptitude and wastes no time exploiting it and usurping his job.
He’s seen all the Blackwing data, and he’s probably the first person to actually understand what it all means because understanding how things work within a complex system is what he does. He’s not “good”, and I don’t think he even believes in the concept of good/bad. When you know everything, there are only people who know this, but not that, and the uninformed aren’t logically capable of making an informed choice about sides.
And yeah, poor Bart, for now. But once the universe decides she needs to kill Ken, he’s a goner.
