The action was incredible, the suspense was top notch, and the finale was great like everyone else is saying. But I think Jason Momoa’s acting should truly be lauded. That was the best and most realistic war speech ever and he conveyed it masterfully, not to mention his agony and sorrow after his last fight. After watching his movie Sweet Girl, I’ve reconsidered my stance on him as an actor. It’s not his fault for getting typecast as a jock/tough guy; after watching this finale, I can definitely say with confidence that the man can actually act. He’s actually quite great at invoking emotion.

Truth be told there’s a lot of great actors in this series. Tamacti Jun is phenomenal and probably my favorite character because of the actor’s mannerisms. Harlan’s actor is incredible as well, loved him on Sleepy Hollow. Paris, Maghra, Sibeth, and Toad have great actors as well. So is Bautista as Edo. Only Haniwa and Kofun are horrible. Absolute garbage. Wren’s actress is okay. Still, all in all, great casting all around in this show. Can’t wait to see who season 3 will bring.

And they were not afraid to get rid of the existing cast either. Ballsy move, and didn’t feel all that much shock value oriented like Game of Thrones was, for example. I grew attached to a bunch of the ones that were killed off and would’ve never thought they weren’t mainstays. Truly incredible. Next season can’t come soon enough.

Although I do see the Maghra and Harlan romance crap coming from a mile away next season and that’s the only development I don’t care for. But even that, given the setting and circumstances will make for excellent television.

This is easily the best season finale of any show I seen in a while. Expertly done.
