I consider the villains to be important to the plot as well, but in terms of heroes, they are the important ones. At least Nina wasn't the only one who got to do something important. You had Joy almost dying and Eddie being the one to ultimately banish Senkhara, not Nina. But it WAS foreshadowed. Remember Eddie's weird conversation with Mr. Sweet in his office, where Mr. Sweet said that he needed to tell Eddie something but he wasn't ready yet? He was referring to Eddie being the Osirian.

I wish they hadn't deleted that scene, I wanted some closure with Patricia and Jason. I wanted to see everyone else greeting Joy and Mara and Mick asking her why she was missing. They were the only ones who didn't know why she was gone, and they didn't ask her about it. The only part where Mick acknowledged that Joy was back was in the deleted scene. Personally, I would like the finale more with that scene in it. I feel like the season 1 finale was only about Nina and Fabian, but the season 2 finale was about everyone. I'd rather see everyone getting a moment than having a little subtext in the background.

But the finale is the CLIMAX, when the mystery/plot is getting wrapped up. It should be about the plot! The plot is what drives the whole story, and it needs to have an awesome conclusion! So it's better to focus on the important ending of the entire plot that drove the whole season than on the characters' development. By the finale, they should already be developed.

I wish they had shown more Nina/Eddie moments to foreshadow more. It pisses me off how Eddie didn't get many scenes with anyone other than Patricia (and a little bit of Joy, Mara, and Jerome. But mostly Patricia.) Still, the Eddie/Sweet conversation and the Senkhara thing was foreshadowing. It would have been too obvious if it was Fabian. (Wouldn't it have been amazing if it was Jerome?) (It should have been him. Plus, that breaks the Americans-as-heroes mold.)
