Well, that was a crappy non-ending.
And given the fact that Oscar Isaacs has stated he has no on-going contract to revisit this character, a very unsatisfying episode.
So many things that didn't work. As stated by others, the severe shift in tone from character development to not-great action (I felt like I was watching the horribly executed ending of Wonder Woman with the ever growing Ammit and Khonshu).
The complete omission of Layla from the post-battle story
Marc/Steven back in the asylum that transforms into their flat, but then Harrow is seemingly in the same asylum. Given the show's 'never let the audience know what's going on' attitude, I didn't know if the Harrow scenes at the end were an illusion or reality.
Not sure when MK got the power of flight. When I read him, he traveled by helicopter, and did some gliding. Straight up Superman style flying - never seen that before.
If Marc/Steven are in their flat, is the Sienkiewicz Hospital (I did love the tribute to the original artist) in the same city so Jake could 'visit' (and killing the staff seems to go against the Khonshu 'only punish the evil' mantra).
Moon Knight used to be my favorite comic character. I own all the appearances up until the 90's. I didn't like the post 2K revival. This series was a mixed bag. I liked the character development, but didn't really like to keep the audience at arm's length style of storytelling. And the fights were ho-hum.
