All this hubbub over Yellowstone and I just realized they're only up to season 4. I was looking for S5. Lol

The halo losing power gets explained.
She never asked to be the Warrior Nun. Don't forget, she spent most of her life sheltered, and her fighting skills are only what she's learned since accidentally acquiring the halo.
I love the show, personally, and I think there will be a season 3, at least I hope so.

Okay, I watched the last episode and I understand the failing halo now. But I don't understand the Warrior Nun Boo-hooing at precisely the moment should should be fighting. I cannot imagine Captain America taking a 5 minute break in the middle of a battle to whimper and wince while the world is about to end as we know it. That was a very chick thing to do.

I don't know if anyone is watching Manifest. I finished season 4 last night. Trust me, this is not a well written or acted show. It's really B movie stuff crammed into a 4 season series, and will probably go 1 or 2 more seasons.

It started with a really interesting concept, a science fiction mystery. This season there are parts which were intended to be serious, even thrilling, but they made me laugh because of the poor acting. At this point they are just dragging out the big mystery and it is getting stupid. They probably should have ended it with season 3, or even 2. It looks like they don't know how to end it or explain it so they just keep dragging it out until someone finally cancels it. I think it was originally an NBC production but it was cancelled and picked up by Netflix. I read the producers wanted it to be 6 seasons which to me is just way too much. It is time to wrap it up.

Well, she never asked to be the Warrior Nun. It was thrust upon her, like Buffy Somers, who also was reluctant and terrified at times.

Is that the show where a bunch of people showed up who were presumed lost on a flight, or something like that?

Not sure about "chick thing." Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Storm, etc., are all females. Their writers would not expect them to shut down and bawl in face of adversity, so they have neither been written nor portrayed that way on screen.

Likewise, Steve Rogers was 95 pounds soaking wet and fearless before becoming Captain America to willingly fight in a World War. The character dedicated his entire life to fighting and vanquishing adversity in all situations without hesitation and be totally relentless towards achieving success.

Ava Silva was paralyzed from the neck down when she was barely in first grade. She spent twelve years completely dependent upon the care of a sociopathic homicidal nun, who emotionally abused her for most of her life before finally killing her. Then she was brought back to life and had to re-adjust to mobility again while dealing with militant secret society nuns and demons. Then she got her butt beat and went into hiding with her tail tucked between her legs. Then she had to try saving the world, again, with less than a year's training, with a mystical device she could not completely depend upon.

In retrospect, I do not agree with the Captain America comparison. That is not really fair to how the Warrior Nun character is constructed.

I get it. I was expressing my opinion, or preference, for the warriors I watch on TV. She is the first "Warrior" I have seen that breaks into a boo-hoo-fest when the fight is at hand. I understand what she is or who she is. I am just questioning if this kind of character makes a good Warrior Nun. Does she ever become a warrior? Because if the future of the planet depends on her, I would be worried. But at the same time I see how a character like Lilith as Warrior Nun might make the show less interesting.

Still on the subject of Warrior Nun, for those of you who don't want to read spoilers about it.
I'm guessing you never got into watching Buffy? I agree, it's a little hard to take when the hero seems weak at times, but if they continue to battle, even though they're so terrified, that's actually more heroic than someone who goes into it always having the confidence to think they'll win. It's like the heroes who go on a mission, knowing the odds are 99% that they won't be coming back, but they're willing to sacrifice themselves for everyone else.

Never watched Buffy. Don't get me wrong, I like the Warrior Nun series. I just hope the boo-hooing nun grows a pair as we get through another season.

She seemed to get it together in the final few moments of the season. Assuming there's another one, I we'll see a very different person, for better or worse.
