It should have also been the season finale I think. For show viewers, Nolan’s redemption is starting way too soon after we saw him slaughter his way through Chicago. The characters have had months to move on and heal, but for the audience it’s all still fresh. We had eight episodes of Nolan being evil and only three of him being gone. They shuffled things around in season 1 so Nolan would leave at the end of the season instead of earlier, they could have done the same thing here. Maybe let the Angstrom Levy plotline play out first so the audience gets to see another major antagonist besides Nolan.

I think he just came back too soon. We had 8 episodes of him being evil and then only 3 before we saw him again. If Thraxa was episode 8 of the season, it might have felt like he was gone for a while and the audience could somewhat move on. There’s a serious disconnect between the characters having not seen him in months, and the audience having not seen him in just a few episodes.

Yeah I was expecting Thraxa to be the season finale. We went from Mark graduating high school and preparing for summer one episode to starting college the next. The entire summer went by apparently without event between episodes.

Interesting that Kregg just said, “We will check on your progress soon,” instead of, “You have 100 years.”

He’s not fat? Look at his arms and shoulders, he’s fucking ripped. He’s got a gut which is probably an advantage considering how much Viltrumites like to do that punch through the stomach thing.
