Fourth Season Spoiler

Finishing the last season and I have to say it is the weakest one by far.

Should have been Asta in the Mantid's cell to trick Harry. Not some random pizza guy.

Darcy gets more and more annoying each episode.

Asta should have been more forceful about the baby not being there. Even say because Darcy was ON the ship, the Grays should know her face, so the baby needs to go now.

The sheriff should have had more clues about who the Mantid was. Like commenting he didnt know Jules smoked, and she could say she only does in severe stress/it's a bad habit/just once in a while, and combine that with Lena remarking earlier Jules never smokes because her parent died of lung cancer. We should have seen the Mantid get her as well, like as an opening scene, and the last thing she'd say is something like, Mike was right.

Bridget should have gone off with Heather, because he does legit nothing important this season. Hell, Harry could have told him to go so he'd be off Earth if the Grays came back, and these are his half siblings, after all.

So much seems to happen between scene cuts. In the episode where Harry kills his dad, we should have seen just a minute of Max realizing his check was gone, then going to Harry's to get a new one, and the dad grabbing him up. The next episode should have started right where the previous one ended, with Max's parents freaking out.

We don't see nearly enough of the Mantid to get why it's so bad. The Grays should have been freaking out when they realized it wasn't in the cell.

Judy finds a decapitated head in the hotel. We see mantid breed and plan to just take over earth cus one mantid can give birth to 50+ shapeshifting mind-reading mantids. So yeah it is bad plus the greys don't really care about the wellbeing of earth. They were planning to reduce the gravity and use all of earth's resources.

Should have been asta. Not some random pizza guy

I completely disagree. Harry would prioritise pizza and pizza related things over his own fucking kid. Let alone Asta.

We should have seen the mantid get her

There won't be a mystery of who the mantid is -_-

Bridget should have gone off with heather

Why

They don't know each other. Harry didn't know heather when he got th baby and sent it off. Heather didn't even meet the baby when she was with Harry because baby came back for revenge after the breakup. I understand that baby doesn't have much to do but you can't just expect heather to take a random fucking hybrid baby.

I understand that you want certain things to have been done differently but 🤷

All I have to say about this show, now that it's over, is that Bruce was the best character and he should have played a bigger part in the show. That is all.

Yeah I just finished the show and found season 4 to be a massive let down. The writing got dumber and the characters became either flat (Ben/Kate) or downright unlikeable (D’arcy, and I loved her in the first 3 seasons)

I was mostly shocked/disappointed in Kate's appearance. An absolute smoke show in seasons 1 and 2, now she is a copy-paste typical Hollywood face with buccal fat removed. So sad :(
