This may be more where my head is at right now more than a failing with the show but I found myself really wanting them to move on by the end. I felt they had established the situation and his confusion more than enough and by the time Moon Knight manifested it was more a relief than a climatic moment. It was like ok, now cut to credits, see you next week, same as every show always does.
That was enjoyable, even if it was mainly set up. Isaacs was great and I have to agree with other posters, I thought his accent was very good. Ethan Hawke was good and I did like Steven's coming and going, although I'm hoping that won't always be the case because Steven coming too to find chaos and bodies around him will get old real soon.
Based on the comics are they likely to integrate the personalities or will it always be a case of Steven taking a nap and Spector taking over? I've literally read a handful of Moon Knight comics thirty or forty years ago!
So is the sarcastic voice he hears Khonshu then?

In the 80s Konshu said "fuck it" and took over Marc's life.
Last year Konshu took over the world after Moon Knight defeated all the avengers... Because there was a super moon in the sky, that boosted Moon Knight's powers.
Konshu, like most Gods, is a dick.

For something that is a core element of the character i don't believe it'll go away anytime soon if ever. I doubt the show will be a simple "Moon Knight shows up and bashes all the evil guys up" type of formula, but to a degree the examination of mental health problems and their effects on the person and his surroundings.
I don't expect it to take up nearly the entirety of each episode because the Pilot was used to establish that in detail but i expect it will come back in each episode to some degree.
I assume so, the voice didn't sound too human. I am also not too familiar with the comics ( kind of refreshing for myself) but Marvel never stuck too close to the comic origin and have always adapted to their movies and shows so who knows how closely it will be to the comics source.
At some point Steven has to realize what's happening to him and maybe come to a working middle ground with his personalities. From what i know about this mental issue there's always a dominant personality but i don't know which one is his, it will be interesting to find out as the show goes on.
Steven Grant sucks.
He failed at life.
There is no Fucking way he can afford his apartment on Gift Shop wages.
Marc Fucking Spector is his Land Lord.

Yup, and voiced by the great F. Murray Abraham!
I'm not against it as an element of the show or that they should move on and never come back to it. At some point it just felt so inevitable how the rest of the episode was going to play out and I lost interest.
Moon Knight is being review bombed on IMDb. The reason? Acknowledging the Armenian genocide.

According to directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, episode four contains a "big, mind-bending swing that makes you reconsider some of the stuff you’ve seen.”

Oh, cool.
If nothing else, now that he's starting to become aware of what's going on, we probably won't get the jump cuts to Steve waking up confused in a strange place. Now, we'll probably get to see what Marc is actually doing when he's in control.
I haven't read any Moon Knight comics, but almost everything I've seen has referred to him as Marc Spector, so I would take that to mean he's the dominant personality.
Episode 2 was good. Just when I was starting to get tired of more of Steve being lost and confused, things started coming together and bit more.
This scene with the Mr. Knight costume appeared to be very different from how it was used in the comics, but it was a lot of fun.
It was nice to actually get to see Mark in action as Moon Knight this time.
I really wish they had some way to indicate how long the credits were going to be. I stopped to go on my bike ride with 7 minutes left, and turned it back on when I got home, and turned out barely a minute of the 7 was actual show, and the other 6 were credits. If had realized the that was the case, I would have just finished it before I left. I thought most TV shows only had like 1 minute or 30 second of end credits.

Marvel Studios shows have always had motion picture length credits.
Oscar Isaacs just kills it in this rolem his acting is fantastic and i felt for him slowly losing his mind as Marc Spectors life intruded more and more into his and he couldn't make heads or tails.
Was that still Steven Grant in the Mr. Knight suit? Felt like a different character yet he was surprised to be in that suit. The show just piles on mystery after mystery but i find that very engaging and that last shot was just absolutely gorgeous. I'd like to go there too myself and find a hotel room with that view.

A bike always supercedes in importance. 
Also, five minute end credits (or longer) is pretty common on streaming TV shows in general.
Another great episode. Things are starting to come together as things get messier...and we're already in Egypt! That's always a bonus in my book.
Curious when Harrow summoned Ammit's jackal creature, the color that spread out of his cane was a very particular shade of purple. I would normally dismiss that as a cosmic coincidence, but Vibranium is associated with another Egyptian god, Bast...

Pretty sure it had to be Steven. That would've been a very jarring place to introduce a new personality. Makes far more sense that it was Steven trying to "summon the suit" and got it all wrong in a moment of panic as he was plunging to his presumed death.
