OK! That was a pretty fun way to start the season.
One thing I often dislike about shows like this is that they can write themselves into any corner and then just make up a mystical rule to get themselves out. People don't really die, stakes aren't real, etc. The show kind of did that here, but overall I thought it did a good job creating a real cliffhanger to end last season, and then coming up with creative ways that were not enormous cheats to unwind most of it. Katrina is still captive and who knows when we'll see Irving, but the main characters are mobile again.
The main thing I thought didn't work was John Cho's character. He's basically helping Moloch or helping Abbie at the whims of the plot. He's never made a lot of sense.
But good stuff with the other John in the cast, John Noble. He is going to be a lot of fun in this role.
Overall, a good beginning to season two, I thought.
