What i read from flake_sake's responses here at least partially is that Promethea shows how to do certain things in mood (for lack of a better word) - not in motive or philosophy or what-not. And while it seems fairly obvious that one can critique season 8 on it's own for the failure in mood (drawing the audience emotionally in) it seems also fairly obvious to me to compare this with a comic book that actually achieves this, especially when said reference material is, well, referenced in season 8.
So, what i want to say is that it seems to me that there is a slight misunderstanding going on here (but maybe i got it all wrong and flake_sake will beat me with w stick for this ;-)).
Oh, and, of course, i fan You, Maggie. Thanks for being a voice of reason in a sea of, well, emotional "upside down".
I dislike seaon 8 at this point in time and i do get why people (including me) are upset but i also get your sense of unfairness at some of the critiques. But that's what You get when the creative team confuses the audience - in a very unsatisfactory way.
