Hee! Ever since I started watching VM, every time I see a bright yellow X-Terra, I have to giggle a little to myself. I just can't help it.
I agree completely with your thoughts on S2, actually, and it's nice to see someone out there wasn't royally pissed at the world for the first half of the season. Yes, S1 was better but... the sophomore season of a show will never be it's premiere season. It's just not possible. Sometimes they come very close to matching the quality of the first season, but it's rare. I'd say VM and AD have done the best jobs that I've seen, when it comes to their sophomore seasons.
But yeah, the second half really kicked everything into gear, didn't it? And that finale... Like you said, just... wow. And a fandom thing that I've loved that the finale kind of stirred up is all the little "missing moments" fics that are starting to pop up. Hell, I even wrote one! It couldn't be helped, lol, the finale was just too good. :)
