That definitely wasn’t yanked out of their ass.
Impressions:
Predictably terrible ending, though I’m kind of surprised by exactly how terrible it was. The assassin guy turns out to just be some random dude who we go kung fu fight on a roof for no actual reason. Meanwhile, Skinner was indeed the homeless dude, simply hands over the cure, and then the NSA guy wanders up and declares not only is everybody free to go, but actually, they can all stay together as a team if they want. Yay, friends. Boy, that sure was a good thing they pulled a magic train out of their ass last week to get them all together for that scene. And they all really worked together as a team when… one of them wandered off to fight a random dude on a rooftop without almost any of them being even slightly aware of it, let alone involved. Truly a team effort all around here.
So we end with nothing but a few action set pieces to our name and an astonishingly godawful script. The last third of the show got consumed by a side plot that didn’t involve the main characters at all, but even before then, it was a set of wild goose chases to random places so they could beat up various ethnicities by accident. Even a few bits of foreshadowing here and there, like Axel and taking the drug, never actually amounted to anything and appear to have been forgotten. There was never any progress nor development, for the plot or the characters, and the ending was some amazingly saccharine BS of a hasty happily ever after. Catch a supercut of its action scenes and there is nothing else worth watching.
