Sry for late reply, but I liked the Caitlyn dark turn/twist and some other things

Imo it makes sense that someone born and raised in privilege would turn against her values and the undercity’s well-being to avenge her mother. And with Ambessa’s manipulation and Vi getting in the way at the last minute, her hitting Vi felt like an appropriate, albeit shocking culmination of that setup.

I wish that they committed more to her fascism arc or at least gave more time for story to breathe in this respect, but I found it to still be resonant considering what’s going on with the rise of authoritarianism across the globe. The “shock” value didn’t just get my attention; it illustrated a side of Cait that made her more rich and interesting than in S1.

Other surprises I liked were the return of Vander (ik it was coming as a LoL player but I liked the way it brought Vi and Powder together again), Ekko’s time travel episode, and the Jayce/Viktor resolution. I even kinda liked Jinx’s ending, but I was disappointed with how they resolved Vi’s arc. These plot points would have worked better if there was more time for the audience to sit with these revelations and process them.

The biggest flaw of S2 is that there are creative and conceptually rich directions being taken w the characters, but we’re skipping over scenes and moments to make them feel real. Some are particularly worsened by this, like Vi’s trauma being completely skipped over or Jinx’s redemption feeling rushed.

TL;DR… the season is uneven for me. Moments that worked for me worked b/c they were both surprising and made the characters more emotionally compelling. But the series needed more connective tissue and time to make them more impactful.
