I wondered the same thing, djs . I just finished S2. I loved it. spoilers below
I am very curious to see what the change was that made it so they were no longer the umbrella academy.
The actor who plays Five is so good. I can't believe he's only 16. He's going to have a great career if he stays in the business. {Spoiler} My theory is that after meeting the "kids," Reggie was unimpressed and so purposely did things differently. That sounds like just the kind of cruel fuckery he'd engage in. That is my theory too.

He already did something different that might change things, he assassinated the secret group he was working with, and who knows what that set in motion. {Spoiler} Oooh I thought that was something that happened anyway, if he didn't want Kennedy dead. I thought it was something he decided/changed his mind about at the last minute, though I could be wrong.

I thought the reveal of his "true self" felt spontaneous? And that that wouldn't be something he would've done unless he planned to kill all the witnesses.

And that that wouldn't be something he would've done unless he planned to kill all the witnesses. {Spoiler} I can't figure out if I'm saying this right, but what I thought is that it played out just like it did before the team changing the past.
So, regardless of whether or not they went back, Kennedy died, Reggie got mad about it, they pissed him off, he killed them.
Am I making sense? Time travel is hard to talk about lol Oh you're absolutely making sense. I guess I just interpreted it that he knew of their involvement in Kennedy's death because of what the kids told him, which is what prompted the murdery alien bit (lol). But I could obviously be very wrong. I should probably watch it again. Ha.

Ha. now I haven’t read any of the graphic novels but are we supposed to assume that Reggie as an alien impregnated all those women somehow and that’s why he wanted the babies because he knew they had his alien powers?
Also did his wife in the 20s that died know that he was an alien?
And why does an alien GAF about preventing evil on earth? I have a lot of questions lol.

Also There were 43 babies born right? So are they all out there hiding their powers somehow? Or did these 7 and then Lila become the only ones with powers?

@icedtea was that another planet with the dying lady? I may not have been laying attention. I thought it was like London or something lol.

I’m almost done season 2 and I’m just thoroughly enjoying this show. I like the cheesiness and the quippiness.
But man, I don’t like Vanya very much. I don’t even know why really because sometimes she’s fine but she kind of lacks personality.
When Alison found Klaus - that was the most heartwarming reunion in any show ever. I cried real tears.

Oooh I thought so. But maybe not? I went to the fandom wiki for the show and it doesn’t really elaborate there either — they say: he comes from a far away world. And the description with the other lady says it’s just from a long time ago but doesn’t specify where. Wasnt there a scene of him getting on a boat when she died though?

I like Vanya but I think it’s mostly because I like Ellen Page lol. I think maybe she doesn’t have much personality because of how she was raised? Like she was constantly told she was ordinary and so she became pretty blah as an adult?
