I really enjoyed this episode. Both the Meridian & Alexandria scenes kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I think most people are disappointed in the cliffhanger, but surely that was a given? Season 2, 3, 6, 8, 9 & 10 midseason finales have all ended on cliffhangers, leaving us anticipating whats next & picking up right where we left off. This season is no different.
I actually liked how quick Pope died, because it completely contrasted everything he was saying. When it happened with Beta, I was so mad, because Beta was always shown as the formidable force. It was annoying that he got taken out so easily. With Pope, it's almost symbolic, as that man general believed that he was God. He felt God's power through him & believed he would be protected by that, as he was the "chosen one". Having him be taken out in such a regular manner to others on this show is smart. No huge flashy death. No intense fight scene where he gets a few stabs & slices in first. Simply just dying like any average joe.
Rosita was phenomenal this episode & Cailey's acting once again was fantastic. Obviously theres a few things I would change throughout, but overall, I really liked this episode. Probably tied with episode 6 as my favourite of the season so far.
