    NOS4A2 Review S02E10 Review: Bats – A little anti-climactic?

    By Salome G
    | August 23, 2020
    TV Blogs

    And in the end, it turned out to be easier to fell the great monster than it might have once seemed. But the evil spread is not so quick to disappear.

    NOS4A2 S02e10 Ashleigh Cummings Jason David Jahkara Smith Vic Wayne McQueen Maggie Leigh

    After all the fuss, Vic gets Wayne out of Christmasland with little interference. He’s still feral, but Tabitha puts him in handcuffs, which is kind of funny and sad at the same time. Tabitha and Lou figure out that the ornaments are key to the children’s transformation, so Tabitha starts breaking them. It’s not a perfect process. It’s painful for Wayne, and he starts spitting out teeth. Vic, meanwhile, has returned for Maggie, who’s been wounded.

    NOS4A2 S02e10 Ashleigh Cummings Vic McQueen

    Vic’s escape with Maggie is a little tougher than her first trip. Even though Christmasland is falling, Charlie has retained enough strength to get into the Wraith. So he chases after Vic and Maggie, hollering things like “Miserable harpies!” Of course he does.

    However, Vic realizes that the bridge is her inscape and thus, she makes the rules. She’s able to mentally channel the bats in there to attack the Wraith. Maybe because it’s magic on magic violence, the bats can crack the windshield.

    But then the bridge breaks open. The bats force the Wraith through the hole into a static-filled nothingness.  The bridge completely falls apart after that. I’m sure swallowing someone else’s knife didn’t help.

    NOS4A2 S02e10 Zachary Quinto Charlie Manx

    Anyway, Vic and Maggie make it back to our dimension. The children of Christmasland aren’t far behind, as they start pouring into our world. Millie just looks on silently.

    One month later, everything is great, yay! Wait, no, it’s not. Despite the ornament intervention, none of the children are fully assimilated back into our existence. Some of them, now being fostered–probably because Charlie’s henchmen killed their parents–are also now being returned by those foster parents. They don’t trust them around the other people in their homes. The children are not fully healed, including Wayne.

    And Wayne isn’t much better. He has these kinds of fugue states where he basically goes into a Christmasland trance. He stands on the kitchen counter eating sugar out of the bag. He follows Millie’s call. She still hasn’t let on to anyone adult that she’s out of Christmasland and I guess Vic just forgot about her? So she’s surviving on her own in the wild, hunting rabbits. She hasn’t broken her ornament, because it would make her weaker. She seems to regret her role in felling Christmasland, but like her father, she deals with her bad feelings by assigning blame. In this case, she blames Vic for killing Charlie.

    And I guess he is really is dead, because some kids in Haverhill find his body, along with the Wraith. Vic has moved her family there to be closer to the rest of her family. And I meant what I said a couple of weeks ago about therapy. While Vic seems incrementally better, I think she and her family would benefit from some outside assistance. It’s not going to heal everything, but it could help some of the non-magic-related issues.

    Anyway, finding his body means they can have him cremated. And they have the Wraith crushed. Wayne seems to protest at first, but his family encircles him. I think that’s important. Charlie was hurt and he didn’t know what to do with it, so he hurt other people, including children. Someone should have been looking out for little Charlie. Luckily, Wayne has a lot of someones watching out for him. He thinks there’s something wrong with him, but it’s okay to feel bad sometimes. You don’t have to be happy all the time, I underline for myself.

    But we don’t end this season on such a final note. Actually, we end it with a hint of other stories to follow. Maggie, for example, wants to see other inscapes. She points out to Vic that not all of them are bad. Vic’s isn’t. Jolene’s wasn’t. Vic, though, has had enough of magic “fun” for now. She leaves Maggie to it, and Maggie goes right for it.

    Specifically, she asks her tiles on how to get to the World of Thought, the home of all inscapes. The tiles return, “HOTEL.” So Maggie visits a hotel that looks just like the one where she met The Hourglass. The last we see of her, she’s in the–and I’ll say it this way just for my British readers–lift, going up.

    Meanwhile, poor wild Millie’s still out there, now preying on young couples. Won’t somebody remember this child?

    8/10 – While I liked the episode as a whole, the final confrontation with Charlie seemed a little anti-climactic. In addition, I wouldn’t mind another season, but I’m not sure how it works without Charlie. Unless we’re following someone else now.

    I just read that! It is sad. I kind of thought it would end because Charlie was killed off (or so we thought). Would have liked a better ending but I’m sure the writer’s were planning on a new season.

    The odds are probably low due to the fact that ratings were SO far down in Season 2, (I believe 52% down), and the fact that they killed off both Charlie and the Wraith. Zachary Quinto made the show for me!

    What a bummer!. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since it wasn’t popular. Jeez, I wanted to know the origin of the Wraith, like how it came to be evil and powerful, and I wanted to see if Maggie went rogue. Maybe the Syfy channel will pick it up.

    I’ve read the book, so I wasn’t expecting this ending. I’m glad it was different, even if it wasn’t as exciting. I suspect we’ll see another season if Joe Hill has anything to say about it.

    I prefer when the ending is different too. It makes for a good show or movie. Sadly, Joe Hill isn’t going to have a say because it was canceled. I had hoped we would find out if Wayne had special powers or if the kids turned back to normal.

    I’ve binged both seasons from start to finish and my main takeaway is that AMC is the network for odd and creepy programmes. NOS4A2 fits perfectly with The Walking Dead and The Terror.

    I’m glad you asked. There are two seasons of The Terror; however, the first seasons is leagues above the second. I wanted to encode the link for my reviews in here, but unfortunately, this commenting system won’t let me be great. Anyway, they’re here: https://www.cultofwhatever.com/tag/the-terror/

    According to my extensive research (I googled it just now), it is available on Hulu and for purchase per episode on other services.

    I kept thinking that the Wraith shouldn’t matter because we’ve seen that the knives are replaceable, so why was it such a big deal to Manx. That made me consider that the kids were his knives. And that’s why he always needed to snatch another one. He killed it, so he had to replace it in order to use his power.  But we’ve seen the Wraith without a kid, so I guess that can’t be true. I thought we’d discover that Wayne was magical in some way, but I guess that didn’t happen.

    Yeah, I thought they sort of teased us with that possibility. It initially looked like it was going that way by making it appear that Wayne wasn’t succumbing to the effects of the Wraith. But that went out the window when he started to change. I guess they liked the idea better of Wayne becoming evil….

    Even though season 2 was better? How strange. Season 2 had more action scenes, more death, less angst, and stronger powers. The Hourglass alone was worth a look. Quinton was phenomenal. Plus, Jahkara Smith was literally discovered on YouTube and she rocked this last season. Well, have you seen Lovecraft Country? It’s creepy like this show if you’re looking for a replacement.

    It was a fantastic finale because it wasn’t overly soppy. It’s unrealistic to expect children who have suffered trauma to “go back to normal” right away. Not to mention that the majority of the kids already had horrible lives before they even met Manx. Wayne’s upbringing wasn’t horrific, but his mother neglected him and he saw loads of violence at the end. Plus, since he was the last child that was snatched, it makes sense that Manx’s thrall still has some power over the lad. I hope we get another season.

    I feel like pulling a Tyra Banks at Millie. “I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you!” What a strange ending. I was sure that either Maggie, Vic, or Lou would die while defeating Manx and rescuing Wayne. These shows usually off a sympathetic character or two.

    I wanted her to go off and have a great life too, but I see why she didn’t. Millie truly adored her father and wishing he’d be around more and wanting to grow up and have a life your own is very different from seeing him killed and feeling like it’s partially your fault. She lost her father, her mother, her siblings, and her home. That would do my head in and I’m an adult.

    It’s a reference to a famous moment on an episode of the Tyra Banks-hosted America’s Next Top Model, in which Tyra blew her top at one of the contestants. It was a whole big speech, but mostly everyone remembers the “I was rooting for you–we were all rooting for you!” part best.

    We need to start watching these shows together, Salome, because you explain things that help it make sense. Way to pick up the slack for the show writers. I found myself yelling at the screen when the bats managed to damage the Wraith when nothing else could except fire during season one. The magic on magic thing is a decent explanation. It’s upsetting that the kids didn’t go back to normal. They’ve potentially released several monsters in the world. I had hoped that Millie’s mother would be able to join her after all and that they’d be able to reconnect. It’s too bad that… Read more »

    I bet we’ll get another season and it will be Maggie that will go rogue. She’ll be the next monster. I thought Maggie seemed impressed with the powers that the Hourglass demonstrated. She also appreciated his tip for how to put off the “payment” that comes due after using their powers. She wants more info like that. The bad guys have better powers and wilder inscapes. She’ll get seduced into that.

    Well, I am super confused! They didn’t bill this as the “series finale”, but how does it continue? The Wraith is destroyed and Charlie is cremated. How does he come back from THAT, even if they wanted him to? Sure, they did a surprising 180-degree turn with Millie, and made her potentially the new villain. But there’s no way the show continues without Zachary Quinto as the lead.
    (I suppose the writers could devise a twist where someone switched the bodies, and Charlie really wasn’t cremated, but that seems a little far-fetched to swallow)
    Any theories, anyone?….

    No more far-fetched than anything else that’s happened. Look at what all Charlie managed to survive. The crushed Wraith could be upcycled into a new car for Charlie or he could get another knife like Vic and Jolene have done in the past. This was the finale according to my cable box.

    Yes, this was the SEASON (2) finale… my point was, it almost comes off as the SERIES finale.
    As far as Charlie goes, the showrunner recently give an interview to TV Insider where she emphatically stated that Charlie Manx is indeed 100% dead. She did leave open the possibility that he could return in ghost form, like Craig did.
    No word yet on whether Season 3 happens or not

    It looks like Joe Hill is pushing for a prequel rather than a sequel. It would be based on his graphic novel, Wraith. Charlie would still be alive and well.

    Charlie is the heart of the story. I hope they do make a prequel… Quinto is just outstanding in this!

    They’ve been losing viewers, so I kind of doubt they’ll get another season out of this. However, if the show wanted to bring Zachary Quinto back because they need his star power, they could do so with flashbacks. You know how much the writers love those.

    When I saw that Bing wasn’t dead, I thought they’d try another season with the Wraith being rebuilt and Manx surviving. I hope it doesn’t become something silly. I see a romance between Millie and Wayne in the future. The next generation of horrid parents.
