The design of the 12th episode of the second season pushed the flaws of this American drama to the extreme. The director was too deliberately trying to create a small climax, but the performance of the actors in this episode seemed to be different from the characters set earlier. out of touch. The most obvious example is Stephen Trager yelling at Lori in his daughter's room, ruining the audience's good image of the father. Even from a normal point of view, it is normal for Lori, as a victim, to react excessively when the truth is revealed. As a father, even under the misunderstanding of his daughter, he should not do such a move, not to mention the fact that he has always A character who appears with a steady, gentle face.
Second, it was Stephen Trager, who had an unpleasant relationship with Nicole. And how this unpleasant emotion developed, the director used a blurring method to deal with it, just let him play it back in Kyle's ears as a background, maybe even the director can't justify how the pair is from the dialogue Rising to quarrel, so simply avoided.
Third, Declan is the most inexplicable character from the first season to the present. The reason why he and Lori went from falling in love to being estranged, even Lori's friend Hillary couldn't bear it. She pointedly pointed out that "Kyle" (Kyle and Declan's relationship) claim) - the friendship between two men can actually affect the love between a man and a woman. In this episode, the same contradictory men and women once again staged the process from quarrel to reconciliation. As for how to reconcile, as you can see, it is through a lot of philosophical dialogues like chicken soup for the soul. Well, conversations like this, of course, are everywhere in other places.
Fourth, the fact that Foss was arrested and subjected to human experiments should be kept secret, and the surrounding must be closely guarded. To be able to be seen by Stephen accidentally, this is really... too TV.
In the end, of course there are many more, but the finale is so unbearable that any other design mistakes can be ignored. Stephen and Nicole, the old couple who are still in conflict, want to tell each other as soon as possible. The truth, so under a bunch of old-fashioned babble-like humility, they said their main point at the same time - Kyle. OMG, forgive me, seeing this ending is as uncomfortable as eating a fly, can't the director arrange better lines?
From the twelfth episode of Season 2, the director's intention is the beginning of a climax. He just wants to make the foreshadowing arranged by so many previous episodes to be reflected in this episode: the deliberate infiltration of the enemy has finally produced the Trager family. The negative impact, and in fact, affected Kyle's mood, which is pitiful. However, it is too deliberate, deliberately disregarding the original character of each character, and making them undergo a 180-degree transformation, this design is too hasty.
In short, Kyle XY has developed to this point, although there should be more to see later, but the arrangement of the plot has fallen to the bottom, I hope this episode is just a special case.
