Lioness (aka: Special Ops: Lioness) (Page 2 of 2)

came down to a big firefight. They are operating already under questionable orders and what do they do? They allow Joe on the operation, who is not fit for duty at all, and also use Cruise as a Gunner...who has no experience at all as Gunner?
Since this became a purely military operation in the end, it would only make sense to sent in people best suited for the job...Neither Joe nor Cruise had to be there for that.

Maybye, if they had used an experienced Gunner, the convoy would've been eliminated on the first run and the heli wouldn't have gone down?
Coming to think of it, wouldn't it have been better to set an ambush on the ground and use the heli for exfill instead? This way the heli wouldn't have been exposed to fire from the ground...I have no idea of strategy or tactics though...

In the end, apart from the firefight, we didn't get any insight as to what the result of all their efforts and pain was.

Joe's husband forgiving her like that...meh... I wished, after he said "You will always have a place to come home to" and he hugged her he whispers in her ear "I just won't be there to greet you anymore" or something like that.

The name change from "Special Ops: Lioness" to just "Lioness" was very misleading. Same goes for the premise.
After all, we hardly got to see a Lioness in action (I wouldn't call Carrillo a Lioness at all).
Actually, it would have been more accurate to scratch the "Lioness" and call it "Special Ops" with this season

I never got the feeling that Joe was the Special Agent in charge. Especially in the last episode she basically took a back seat to Dawn Olivieri's character who coordinated the attack.
She was also imho too emotional. I want her to be the hardass she was in Season 1. Here she either cried or lost her temper.

Cruise and Carrillo...seriously? Yes, if there are two LGBTQ characters in a show they have to hook up...impossible to think otherwise....meh.

We never got to see the real bad guy, which I think is important for a show like this.
The uncle was certainly "a" bad guy, but not the orchestrator of the whole situation. His death was also very disappointing.
The blindfolded guy was probably just a middleman.
Without a bad guy it was just soldiers killing soldiers (poor choice of words, but don't know how else to say this). Therefore no real consequences were felt at the end - apart from that stewing phone call...

- when the bad guys rammed her car from behind, wasn't the obvious solution to hit the gas to get away?
- did they really put an old Dodge pickup truck next to the house in the "Ukrainian" warzone?

"in a war that has nothing to do with us". 3 min later: pls come to the Hormuz Strait and also help securing our bases against drone attacks, we need help, lmao.

Sterile trenches
Unreal hundreds of drones and  none are attacking
Nobody is shooting dogs
Grenades can and do fly in both directions
BS that they cannot hear suppressed fire from 100m
"they are Delta" + lala cringy rambo talk

From all that battle scene the only realistic thing was North Koreans running WW1 style against machine guns and that artillery don't care about their greatness. Basically if drone operator would see a picture how was shown as they went back into the bunker, they would be dead, those drones don't fly with 10 kmh
