Locke & Key: Season Two

Season one recap

Looks way darker than season 1

Hot DILF added to the cast as love interest for the mom, to bad he’s not a Daddy for Connor.

Lol, Connor gets the ultimate facial in episode 3!

Does Connor show skin? That's what I want to know!

So not many DL'ers are watching this? Do they blame Connor for breaking up with Miles?

I will say this season has a much more straightforward and easy to follow storyline, but again Connor isn’t really given much to do otherwise then react to things and fight- usually badly. The sister is a much more realized and actualized character with more to do and better agency. The real MVP of the season is the actor playing Gabe, who is gleefully playing the villain, chewing the scenery and doing the heavy lifting.

r6 I do. Miles still hasn't gotten over it!

Connor is back with his fat fingers. He’s kinda looking his age now.

Connor looks so good this season, but he has more chemistry with his sister than his girlfriend on the show

FFS, this thread is NOTHING without a link to thread providing breakup narrative.

Not a bad season, Gay uncle gets an actual storyline, though they announce his engagement in the first episode and then sends his boyfriend off for the rest of the season leaving him sexless and completely neutered as a Gay man and any such identification as one.

Are Connor and Uncle Ashmore fucking now?

Connor's spider facial from ep 2:

R10, Jackie is unlikeable. I wouldn’t have any chemistry with her either.

I liked the Tyler and Jackie scenes but damn, her character is soooo boring

R14, the best scene!

It wasn't good. The characters are dumb.

I did like seeing Aaron Ashmore, with his increased role bumped up to regular, even if his gay uncle character is completely sexless with a boyfriend that suddenly has to work in Japan all season so we only have to be reminded that he's gay in the first episode of S2 while the kids and their mom all have boyfriends/girlfriends.

I didn't realise that Connor and Miles had broken up tbh.

I've only seen the first episode of Season 2 so far, but I've read the graphic novel series and listened to the whole audiobook/dramatization which was very well done, so I'm pretty familiar with the story. It's very enjoyable to see it play out on an actual show though and I think they've done a great job at capturing the aesthetic. I assume they can't really continue beyond a Season 3 though.

What was the point of bringing Duncan's boyfriend in on the first episode of the season only to have him leave immediately?

R20 to get him out of the way so they didn’t have to explain Duncan’s crisis and magic background to him. So, even though he’s an adult is Duncan still remembering magic? Did they use the memory key on him, I don’t remember that?

Tyler and uncle Duncan had more sexual chemistry than Tyler and Jackie. Those key making scenes were strangely hot to me lol, "I'll talk you through every step".

Featuring more uncle Duncan was a good choice, there was too much Nina and her drinking last season.

I was disappointed Connor did do those blacksmithing scenes shirtless, it seem to call for that.

Just binge-watched the second season. It was ok. The score felt too grand for this, like it's some big, epic fantasy quest adventure movie which, I'm sorry, it is not.

Loved Eden's mind place. Too bad she is such an incompetent villain, overestimating her powers. The mother is such a terrible character. Constantly confused, struggling to understand what is going on around her. It was way better handled with Duncan struggling with the memories coming back. Tyler dealing with the relationship drama with Jackie, and trying to convince her to use the memory key, was the least interesting part of the season.

Season 2 was just a letdown for me. I enjoyed season 1 because it they were discovering the world of magic that the keys unlocked.

Season 2 is all about fighting and no character development or new magic discoveries.

Did Connor show any skin?

R26 I don't remember any. Seemed to be a lot less sex this season.

Did anyone else feel like it’s now Bode and Kinsey’s show and Tyler (Connor) is just relegated to a sidekick character?

I believe there was only one make-out session, and it was between the mom and her new romantic love interest, played by Brendan Hines.

Don't know the graphic novel series the show is based on, but it seems like they've written his character out of the show for good. He made the deliberate decision not to use the memory key and have a "normal" life, leaving his younger siblings to fend for themselves in future battles.

R30 Tyler is integral to the plot of the graphic novel series, so no way would he be written out of the show for good.

It’s been a while since I read the comics…in them, did people “forget” magic when they turned 18?

[quote] He made the deliberate decision not to use the memory key and have a "normal" life, leaving his younger siblings to fend for themselves in future battles.

This is a normal part of the idea, "With great power comes great responsibility." He'll learn what happens when he shirks his responsibilities as a guardian of the key, everyone will have to deal with the consequences, and he will no doubt will end up getting his memories back to set things right.

[quote]in them, did people “forget” magic when they turned 18?

Yes.

R30 Connor was filming season 3 so he'll be back

I hope Tyler gets a bigger part on season 3, ready to see his hoe phase!

Love Connor on the show

Sad that hot little twink Griffin Gluck was killed off. Gonna miss him.

I laughed out loud when the vault suddenly had a stairway beside it for easy access (and escape).
