Let's just get the Love and Rockets bit out of the way first;
Great band, listened to them loads back in the day.... Not a great sound for finishing off this series... Unless I've missed an obscure "hidden" aspect of the story that would somehow mean that this kind of music slots in perfectly after an entire series of awesome metaphor for how humans coexist (or don't) with the magical planet on which they find themselves.
No, not a good sound.
Was she in a nightclub?
Was she there all along?
In a weird way?
What actually happened?
What about her father?
If you're reading this and thinking 'oh come on you thicko, it's obvious' then boy! Is this one convoluted series!
Im all up for multilayered complexity, metaphor, parallel Christopher Nolan type stuff, but cutting off a series like that just leaves too many questions.
So often Netflix bites off more than it can chew and the writers just aren't given the time or the budget to pull all the threads together, at least enough to allow the audience to play around with a few possibilities, a bit of debate etc. But this weird bleeding eye, nightclub ending gave NO meaningful closure - ZERO; neither to the protagonists narrative nor to the storyline as a whole.
Was there some connection between Joseph and her father? This seemed to be vaguely hinted at then shyed away from a few times (or was that me trying to find a well linked and layered narrative where there was actually a complete absence of one?). How or who started the fire and was there any other purpose to that? Or are we meant to assume it was just another bunch of amazon decimating baddies wanting the good guys to go away?
The nazi bit. Ok, unless you're some white sheet wearing neo effing whatever, let's be honest, no one wants this BS resurrected in any meaningful way. A little bit to add jeapordy and an 'ooo, how gross' factor is fine but this was introduced and..... And what? And went nowhere is what. I suppose we're just supposed to imagine some tenuous connection between the whole nazis in South America (possibly) being weird with bio stuff thing and this plot, Joseph etc. Either INTRODUCE the narrative, make it go SOMEWHERE and then CLOSE IT DOWN. The second 2 points never happened.
Dead village police chief? Ditto.
I mean so many things left open ended you'd of thought there would be a second series but it's just not that kind of series.
Another great idea; wasted wasted wasted.
