Exposition? What exposition?

There is absolutely no raisin for there to be another season from here. Comparing S2 so far, we're only on Entry #16. There is plenty of time for figuring out what happened with Jay's amnesia and finish the fight.


You are right, there is no raisin here...nor watch. lol

I meant the term exposition in the sense of how a standard trilogy works. The first story, or in this case season, is the introduction to the story and characters while introducing them to the danger. That's been done, with the cliffhanger of 26 thrown in to lead to the second story. Think Empire here and look at season 2 as that. It's the meat and potatoes of the story. It's also the darkest and lowest point of the story for our hero(es), but in it they learn a game changing truth. Then you have the finale, or in this case season 3, where they take that truth and use it to fight back against the antagonist.

I'm not arguing that they would be rushing to a conclusion if it ended in this season, I'm simply looking at the pacing of it vs last season. This season has been more character development vs information about the Operator and TTA then the last season. In that respect I would be fine with finding out who TTA is at the end of this season or maybe what the deal with the Operator is as a cliff hanger into a final season, season 3. I do not wish a 4th season, though I would watch it because I trust Troy at this point to tell a great story. I just think a work this well done deserves, and potentially is on its way to, trilogy treatment.

I will give you this however. I do personally prefer trilogies if they were intended to be so from the beginning. If not they fall into a lot of traps. I just feel that, given the abilities Troy has to tell a story, he may be able to avoid those pitfalls and make this work.

 		Can you please stop double triple posting? If you have something to add and nobody has responded, edit it into your previous post.

Troy said in his latest blog post they never intended for it to go past a handfull of entries.

He has a point though. If there's no reason for a third installment, there should not be one.

What is keeping that from happening in S2?

I feel like we're getting close to finding out who TTA is within maybe three or four entries. And besides, how much can you stretch out about The Operator (no pun intended) about his backstory/how to fight him? Alex has already given us a peak at The Operator's backstory in 38.

As I said before, comparing the entries, we're only about halfway through S2. Unless there is some huge twist with a new element out of frigging nowhere, there is zero reason for a third season.

 		Speaking of the Operator, what was the point bringing him back for 20 seconds? Was it just to give Jay a reason to drop the camera? In that case why not just use Tim hobbling at him with a hatchet, saying "Am I a substantial threat now?"

 		and imo, we have figured out nothign in season 2. if they end it at the end of season 2 they will be selling themselves short. considering we're still so far behind in that 7 month period, and more than halfway done with the season, i can't see myself being satisfied with only ~10 more entries. i don't think they could wrap up this story that quickly

 		I think that the 3 means nothing and Troy is trolling us.

Every forum on the internet frowns upon double posting, let alone triple posting. It's not hard to edit a post.

As for the 3, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But aside from the pace of entry releases, if things haven't 'picked up' yet, I'm excited to see what will happen when they do.

 		^Pretty much, considering that Troy considers bringing back the Operator, revealing Masky's identity, and giving TTA a physical form "getting started".

 		Calling it now- Troy is actually a psychic and the 3 was referring to this triple-posting debate.
