Very odd episode. It certainly was the weakest of the season so far for me, though there's always the potential for parts of it to look a lot better in hindsight once the season is over.
I didn't really care for how "filler-esque" it felt due to how little the plot progressed. I mean, it's not like this show doesn't have several moments/episodes where it's just about having a good conversation with someone, or an unexpected connection (i.e. that girl Elliot met this season), but this one was a lot less interesting. Though I'll admit to having gotten a bit emotional towards the end towards Tyrell's death. Which is weird, because it's not like I ever liked the guy, but I guess the music got to me.
That said, yea, if that's all there is to the character, then that would be disappointing. Angela is one thing, it made sense for her to die when she did, but Tyrell was gone for the longest time, and since he's been back he's hardly done anything of note. Even in this final episode for him, it's just him helping to clean up the mess he made for both him and Elliot. So to just go out like that, to a stray bullet of all things... meh. Then again, this is the show that unceremoniously killed off Joanna (still upset), so I guess I can't be too surprised.
Did Tyrell's voice and accent seemed really different from season 1 too?
Honestly, the dude has felt off to me since he came back in S2
