Considering that Arnold and co. will probably be using Kickstarter for season 2, I think it would have been a better idea to leave something to the imagination. Not that the final battle between the two opposing first-person shooter teams wasn't incredible. It was. It spoke more about war amongst adolescents than Ender's Game ever could, and was fun to boot.
The final scene between the Law and Brian is a masterfully crafted confrontation that looks deep into what makes a man like the Law so charming and so dangerous. He is supremely egotistical, utterly without morals, thrives on the failure of others, feeds on authority, and yet there is almost nothing that can be done about it because aside from all that, he is a tactical and technical genius that no conventional player can rival. He is, in short, cinema's perfect monster. His explosive end makes it that much sweeter, no matter how far away you might have seen it coming.
Where do we go from here? Hopefully next season will explore Ted (Jimmy Wong) and Ki's (Ellary Porterfield) stories a bit more in depth. Though they suit up with Brian in the beginning and celebrate with him afterwards, we never see them in their own battles. That's understandable. How the show managed its amazing racing scene from episode 4 on their budget in the first place is still a mystery to me, and the confrontation between Ki and Ted's megalomaniacal rhythm gamer father isn't something you want to have shoved in on the side.
Whatever the next stage is, you can bet that Art Attack will be here to comment on it.
