It's impossible to give this episode a good rating, as it's so full of stupid and irritating behavior. This demonstrates a real failure in its writing.

The worst part, of course, is Wendy's character change, from being a joyful, deeply empathetic and kind child to suddenly, simply because she can speak the language of the Aliens (who, by the way, don't speak to her...), becoming a remorseless killer. She was the "heroine" we liked to sympathize with. That's it. She became detestable because of her profound stupidity.

Her brother, on the other hand, was already unpleasant and stupid from the start. What's more, he is poorly served by his actor, a far cry from his performance in A the End of the F.....g World.

And one can really wonder how Kavalier could become who he is, stupid and childish as he is.

I add that, as a lifelong fan of James Matthew Barrie's work, these references are a permanent insult to Peter Pan...

A good 8th and final episode for this second season. On par with the previous one, but a bit behind episode 6, which remains, for me, the best of this season. A good pace and a fairly balanced presence of the various main and secondary characters. The action scenes are successful overall. The only criticism I would make - and which obviously doesn't only concern this episode - is the physical representation of the Hydes. Much more ugly than scary. I always think of the "baby" alien in the movie Alien: Resurrection, which was a real visual failure for me.

All in all, this second season was very uneven. It started off in a generally disappointing way. When I look at my ratings for the various episodes, it started off poorly, with only one excellent episode out of the first five, before ending well.

Ep 1: 04/10 Ep 2: 06/10 Ep 3: 03/10 Ep 4: 08/10 Ep 5: 04/10 Ep 6: 09/10 Ep 7: 08/10 Ep 8: 08/10

Let's hope that the third season, which will conclude the series, maintains the same quality from start to finish.
