the casting of Katie.


This. Just can’t understand.


I didn't read the books. Why is this casting bad? I thought she did fine in the show.

as someone who did not read the books, i thought she did a great job in the show.

but as someone who does not care about spoilers or waiting, from what i've read the katie in the book does not match up with her being asian at all.

but we will see what they do in the show!

great show btw. also like that Pratt wants to see it the entire way through. unlike shows like The Witcher.

I figure if Jack Carr is good with it, I am.

The last two episodes were action packed with a twist. I think it’s safe to say that there’ll be a season 3

From what I remember it doesn't, but I also don't remember her ethnicity being a huge plot point either. They got most of the casting spot-on IMO, even if Fredo Hemsworth looks a little bloated for his character. I don't think the actress playing Katie adds much but nor does she detract.

I was all setup to watch Season 2 and I realized I have not seen season 1. I could have sworn I have watched it already. Maybe I am confusing it with "Dark Wolf". Was Dark Wolf this connected to Terminal List?

Yes, it is connected but not required viewing for S2 of Terminal List. S1 you need to watch before S2.

Maybe not but Dark Wolf helps paint a picture for some pretty important characters in Season 2.

From someone who hasn't read the books but has watched all of the shows-

They're both "necessary".

S1 is obvious; it's the actual story. Establishes who James Reece is and how much of a bad arse he is, and why he's doing what he does.

Dark Wolf wasn't actual book, but it's fantastic. It's the fleshed out backstory for just about everyone.

After finishing Season 2 last night, I'd say if you haven't watched any:
Dark Wolf, then Season 1, then Season 2. And that gives you tremendous respect for not just Reece, but Raife Hastings too.

As much as I enjoyed Dark Wolf, at this point I don't want a season 2 of that anymore.

Terminal List season 1 wraps up Ben's arc.
Season 2 shows us Raife, Mo, Landry, the Israeli chick, and Haliford.
There's not much to go into for Dark Wolf anymore, other than showing us Ben's actual fall from grace (which has been detailed out anyways). No reason to keep zigzagging back and forth in the timeline, just stick with the Terminal List one from here on out.

Season 2 was significantly worse than season 1. Very disappointing.

I give season one the edge. But it’s kind of like John Wick. Part of what made the original so great was simplicity. For John Wick it was the dead dog angle. Terminal list season one it was a badass killing bad people off his list. There is beauty in the simplicity. With that being said, season 2 was great and not disappointing at all. I am always a sucker for a sniper dual.

My opinion. And my BIL called me today and said the same thing. Season 1 was amazing. Season 2 for me wasn't.

I thought the first two episodes were weak. After that it starts to pick up.

The book was much more interesting.

Somewhat spoilers....








The Africa setting went into much more nuanced & interesting detail than the series and the baddies actions and motives were way more involved than the show.

Katie Buranek is barely mentioned in book 2 so take that for what it is worth. That story angle is somewhat forced & contrived.

Yes I realize changes are made to accommodate television. If Carr is ok with it, so be it.

Are people upset about Katie casting because she is not a blonde? Yeesh.

She looks pretty good at the range. & dolled up later.

I dont remember Katie's ethnicity from the books. It wasn't a big deal in them.

She seems to be a good fit for Katie's book personality. I like her.

I liked season 2 a lot, but I nerd out on the technical parts of the show and I really like that they get a lot more of the combat right than most shows do.

That probably helps having Jack Carr giving advice and I am sure they get help from some of the rest of the community. They have done a good job with working with the actors on their CQB techniques and it shows.
