I would say there wasn't really a "big bad" in S2. It was more a collection of unfortunate events. I get that the Kanima was the plot driver but knowing that Jackson wasn't in control makes me think of him as not a big bad but a victim of circumstances out of his control.

I considered Gerard the Big Bad because he made his antagonist position clear in Episode 1 and, during the course of the season, presented himself as the endgame.
