When Syfys Dominion is firing on all cylinders, it’s hard to beat.
Here’s my review of season two’s penultimate episode.
Okay, so this was a pretty intense episode.
But last weeks dreams and hallucinations were not ephemeral.
Claire tells David that losing her baby made her lose the will to fight.
Their romance in the first season was both genuine and rather sweet.
As Ive mentioned before, I admire Claires sense of purpose.
She is rarely portrayed as someone in need of rescuing.
This revelation was neither shocking nor disappointing.
Instead, learning the truth about Noma demonstrated how far she has come since her fall from grace.
She went from betraying the Chosen One to becoming one of his most outspoken champions.

One person who will likely survive this season is David Whele.
This is a dark turn for him, indeed.
All in all, this has been a rough season for David Whele.
Like I said, hes tenacious, but just because hes survived these hardships doesnt mean hesalive.
Kudos as always to Anthony Head for bringing so much humanity to such an unforgiving role.
Its obvious how much Head relishes such a complex character, no matter how ugly his deeds may be.
Finally, the archangel battle royale must be addressed.
I was hoping for more from this showdown, which had so much potential.
Never once, though, did I think either angels life was ever in jeopardy.
But this extinction-level event becomes a war the moment Michael sided with humanity.
By searching out the Chosen One, he has chosen mankind over Godan unforgivable sin in Gabriels eyes.
And the two have more or less been at odds and each others throats ever since.
Overall, tonight was a great build-up to next weeks finale.
But if we do lose someone next week, I hope their deaths are not in vain.
Some closing thoughts:
Whither Julian?
We know the wily Dyad is alive, but where is he?
Surely we havent seen the last of him this season have we?
