They just want to squeeze in too much plot, while being afraid of letting "slower" moments play out. That doesn't always mix well. And with these last two episodes in particular, they even "invented" struggles for some of the characters (So. Many. Pep Talks. OMG), and these scenes took up time/space, that could've been dedicated to slower, more emotional moments (like the Malex/handana scene).

Not to mention all the science babble this season. They spent endless minutes of precious screentime on talking about fake science, I wish they would've skipped a minute or two of that in favor of a full length Malex couch scene.

Or, y'know, spent less time on the millionth pep talk for the same 4 characters and instead had developed a relationship between Isobel and Anatsa that deserves the label "relationship".

Or they could've cut short some things and instead added on-screen moments like "freeing Max from the pod and his reaction to being body-swapped with Jones" or "Michael checking in on Sanders and making sure he's not dead".

Or instead of wasting time on redeeming Wyatt, they could've given Gregory a personality.

Sometimes they tend to skip over things we'd like to see explored more while dragging out things most people couldn't care less about. (Like Liz didn't have to explain in-depth how to science Max and Jones' DNA apart in every single episode. It's a show about aliens, handwave that kind of shit, and give us emotionally more relevant and interesting scenes).

I'm also still wondering what Maria's visions, that kept them going for the first half of the season were actually about, bc this HUGE storyline was suddenly dropped completely and never talked about again. ¯\_(°~°)_/¯

IDK, there are so many (often little) things that could've been handled/timed better.

I still think that S3's way better than S2, and I adore the new cast edition of Dallas. Like, he's legit one of my favorite characters already, and Quentin Plair is an absolute pleasure to watch.

But I also wish they wouldn't continue repeating some of the same mistakes that were annoying in S1 and S2 already.
