Weakest episode of the season this week but last week's with Green & Kinnear was superb

I agree, I hope this desert shit turns itself around. All that silliness, especially the snake summoning, just to get to an expository monologue by Bryan Cox. And it's not even like they did a good job setting up Kaetenay for a surprise reappearance. They left him for dead in the desert, like what Apache doesn't come back from that?

I'm into this! But I haven't even finished season 1 so I don't think I can participate in this thread yet. Boo.

Season 1 was my favorite. They didn't manage to keep up the eeriness after that, imho. Just a lot of Eva Green scenery chewing and mopey goth Frankenstein. Also don't like a lot of the other characters outside of Green's, Dalton's and a couple others I won't spoil for ENBB.

I thought Season 1 was patchy and Season 2 was where it really found its feet.

I didn't like it. It seemed like one of those extra-long videos David Bowie used to make occasionally.

I didn't like the big bad in S2 but there were some pretty great individual episodes. S3 has been super spotty with some highlights. Only in S1 was there a fun sense of progressive discovery as it set up the world (and the lily subplot in S2 I guess). Disappointed by how little S3 has found to do with caliban.

at this point i'm totally confused about who/what the vanessa backstory is. they keep changing it round on us.
