This is definitely a binge-worthy show, although having 10x 30 minute episodes per season and four main characters, that leaves us with maybe 10 minutes of screentime for each girl... If we're being generous here. I say this, because I understand Kimberly's temptation to cheat on her test... But her just saying she's failing a class without showing us how or why makes the empathy feel weak at best. I want to see at the very least a montage of her getting back homework with F's on the top corner, or her struggling to keep up with classwork because she doesn't do the homework in time. And no, that sex addict episode doesn't count much, 'cos that all happened during one day ( even tho it's said they were a thing for a couple of months after that point ) - if it were an ongoing thing that'd happened for months, then perhaps it would feel more valid. It just feels a little rushed.
I think it'd be interesting if the show had done something like what the SKAM universe does, and have a season per character instead: seeing the POV of, say, Leighton and her working out her sexuality and sense of belonging in a totally new environment for the first season or even just her exclusively for the first 3 episodes, and then next few revolving solely around Whitney trying to prove she's more than a senator's daughter, for example.
I guess I'm just saying that I notice this a lot with tv shows, but there's always a struggle to put in enough character development for everyone when there are multiple main characters. The show does an incredible job so far, but it could definitely be a little better, imo.
So they make Cassie tough by having her stay in the future while the machine is being rebuilt. She has to survive in tough conditions and because of that, she's gone from someone with a moral compass and a lot of compassion to someone who is more morally grey and wants to do what's needed to get the job done. I don't see it as a bad arc for the character because it definitely adds more depth to her character, it's just that the writing is questionable. I really liked Cassie in the first season, it's just a shame that we're kinda getting the 'shitty storyline for the main female' trope for her, now. I think if they would've kept her and Cole apart for longer or at least shown more of that time apart, it would've felt more natural than just having that dialogue and quick montage back in the beginning of the season.
We've established that both Cole and Cassie are the two most main characters at this point, why not splurge some time into them more at first and then jump into the central storyline? It feels kinda same-old with Cole having just to go back and forth between years, but for Cassie this is quite new. She's really the only thing keeping it fresh at the moment, if not for Jennifer's involvement with the overall plot.
A bittersweet, sort of rushed ending!
I don't know, I'm a little underwhelmed with how it all wrapped up, especially given how whimsically and action-packed every other chapter was concluded. Felt anti-climatic and somewhat boring.
I like that we get more of Nick's backstory - he's by far one of my favourite characters, and I appreciate that we get to see this darker past that shows us why he's more accepting of Sabrina's bloodline than the others in the coven... But the fact that we'll probably not get this much development from him again - at least for a while - has me feeling a little disappointed. I'm pretty sure this was one of those one-off episodes where we focus on one of the other major characters to provide a little more variety in the overall season's episode's storylines, so it's coming off on a bit of a bittersweet moment for me. Obviously not all the major characters can have as much screentime ( or, in turn, development ) as Sabrina herself.
Am I the only one who doesn't agree with the oversexualisation of the teens? Having them dress much too provocatively, despite even acknowledging that they can very well embrace lust and sex... Sabrina's still supposed to be a minor, no? The only thing that anchors this in is her hesitation to sleep with anyone / Nick.
Now that Sabrina's left Baxter High, it doesn't quite make the whole Roz/Harvey thing feel any more ok than it should be - come to think of it, I couldn't imagine dating your friend's ex, even if it's clear they're done and over.
And I understand that it's - at least now, when I'm typing this - 2019/2020, but... The writers keep pushing the Suzie/Theo storyline in in a way that's not organic... Save for the part where he comes out to his dad - I'll give points for that scene and the one following it making me smile. But the rest of it has just felt too out of place for a show that should be revolving around witchcraft. It's like the writers just had to throw it in for some bonus culture points. Theo's just a token trans character, only there to give the writers of the show some applaud when it's frankly not quite deserved.
There's a fair amount of just... Walking in this show. Maybe too much, if you ask me. And yes, I understand it's to show how each section is separate from another and all that, but we've established that already - several times over - with dialogue (mostly through characters like the former mayor and Marnes saying they had to walk xyz amount of floors just to go to a destination, or just characters speaking about where they are/live by floor number)... So when I say it's becoming excessive, I want to point out that that whole scene at the end of this ep where Juliette travels under the silo goes from about 48:04-49:20... That's almost a FULL MINUTE of travel shots when we could've just had her go from speaking with Walk to opening up the case to find the Pez relic... We've seen her travel all the way down here before, we understand it's a trek and a half filled with stairs and ladders to get to George's hideout... It's just so unnecessary at this point.
I'm also a little annoyed at which points they've decided in the past to cut off the episode. With the exception of the first, the rest have felt a little... Janky? Or just underwhelming points to leave off from.
I'm thinking the flowers that mysteriously appeared in Nichols' room are some sort of surveillance device. I mean, if they have the technology to change the screens people see of what they think are on the outside AND have computer and radios? No doubt they have some sort of listening device, too. Just very sus that it showed up right after she was sworn in, and there have been people saying "they" or "he" can hear and see everything...
Also, I know that they lost about 140 years of information (presumably) about the surface, but... How do they not know about stars? They clearly have enough knowledge or experience to fire up machinery and grow trees indoors, what exactly ARE they teaching in school??? You'd think the kids would be asking all sorts of questions about it.
Apart from that, I do love this show, and really appreciate how much storytelling's going on with just one main location. Really gets you to look into the details of how this particular world works and everything, and in this case that's really unique - I've seen an anime touch on underground living (Gurren Lagann), but nothing quite like this where you can explore the living conditions and how people have adjusted. So far really enjoying the show, we'll see how the second half of the season pans out from here.
Incredible performance from Cobie in this episode. She gives enough emotion in her dialogue's timbre and her acting's micro-expressions for it to leave a bittersweet feeling in certain scenes. Dex definitely feels more than just her job, a jacked up car with a clunky 80's mixtape, and a couple of witty remarks because of this.
I also love that Dex's PTSD isn't just shrugged off to the side after it being mentioned and shown once, like most shows do. It's an emotionally tolling and physically demanding mental combat that doesn't go away easily, so I'm glad they're keeping it consistent.
With that being said, I don't mind the episode's basic storyline being the enzyme to the exploration of her past and how it affects her presently. It provides a bit of a different structure, something unique from these past few repetitive ones that just feel like they could be mushed together with any other procedural on right now. There was a little chuckle moment with the one chase scene on the electric scooters, but I do wish there were more action given it's, well, a PI drama.
I'm interested in the whole dynamic between Dex and Sue-Lynn - it's evolved a lot since the beginning, and they're definitely more something towards kin than straight up estranged could-have-been-family. The fact that Dex shows some vulnerability to her and not Grey, Ansel, Tookie, whom she probably knows better by now... Wow. Interesting move.
Had to watch this in two parts because it was so. damn. long! And honestly? Not worth the time. Two and a half hours of a snoozefest.
The story is predictable, which made it boring - for starters. Once again, all these more significant deaths happened, but were brushed off so quickly, which made it harder to emotionally connect with the movie ( especially Finnick, who was my favourite character in both the film adaptation and the original book series ). I understand that they can't allocate time to every single death, but the rest of the movie is filled with useless scenes, especially in the last 20 minutes, which frustrates me to no end.
Not only that, but the story seems to be very much centered on Katniss and Peeta - which, granted, seems logical, but we've had the past three films to go about their story, and I feel like it would have been nicer to have had a look into the perspective of the others or at least give more screentime to different characters, rather than being boxed into some love triangle that was cringey at best.
I can't say I'm going to watch this ever again.
Probably the first episode I've REALLY loved since the season premier, which was definitely one of my favourites of the entire series thus far. I like that they broke down the usual "tattoo-solving and then other side b storyline drama" sort of sequence to their episodes and mix it up every once in a while, and throw in something different yet still parallel to the plot, like this one. Jane finally getting some closure on Roman and now finally Shephard was a good touch.
As a big fan of Zapata's character, I'm definitely interested to see what route she takes now that she's been taken into FBI custody, and how that will affect the team overall. Gotta say, was pretty amusing that the stand-out memory of Jane being shot back in the season 2 premier by Zapata made me chuckle. Of all the things to have remembered, it just had to be that!
Still, I wish Jane could have been Remi a little longer. They're not even halfway through the entire season and a lot of the primary plots ( Jane/Remi, Zapata going rogue, Madeleine and the HCI Global takeover ) are already almost fully resolved... There must be something I'm missing or that hasn't come up yet that will be brought back for the latter half of the season.
Great season finale. It tied off things well enough for it to be a standalone season, even if a few new complications arose in the last few minutes. I'm glad I took the time to watch it all.
Ok, I may have cried A LITTLE when Nezuko was reunited with Tanjiro...
But that's all to say, I do think this season was probably my least favourite compared to the others so far:
I think my main issue for the whole thing is the power creep/dynamic between the humans and the demons - there didn't feel like there were any big stakes in these fights this season. Yes, the demons are difficult to beat because they're upper rank, but Uzui had to literally retire after becoming essentially disabled (he lost an eye and a hand!) during the fight with a slightly weaker (or lower level) demon... And all our protagonists were at least on his level by the time we got to this arc. Nothing of the sort really happened this time around, even though we got very close w/ Kanroji.
All this to say, I'm still keen to see how this goes in the next season. While the quality of the writing has gone down, the animation is still on-par and it's at the very least enjoyable to watch/binge.
Coming from a watcher of the anime series;
Enjoying this a lot so far, definitely a pretty good live action adaptation!
The casting here is absolutely WHACK because if Nancy's supposed to be 19 and Lucy was 17 when she died, that puts Ryan at around 36 years old, and twice as old as George. (Which like... I'm w/ Victoria on asking why tf George was sleeping w/ him in the first place, especially when this happened a bit pre-series as well?! Not to mention Riley is MUCH older than Leah, which makes it even more weird...) Nancy'd also be sleeping w/ someone 6 years older than her, too. Not AS bad, but still.
George technically slept with Nancy's dad... Yikes.
Also, according to what he'd said at the Velvet Masque, Owen was 5 in 1999 - so he should be about 25 years old (from the year 2019), which... he does not look THAT young lmao just say he's in his early 30's
So the Aglaeca wasn't an inhuman spirit, sure, ok. But why drag this out further? What's the point? There's one episode of the season left and I've the feeling it's gonne be a jumping off point for the next season. If it's killed Owen, then it probably has something to do with the ship sinking incident from earlier, right? Almost in the same way the guy who escaped was still haunted, and especially with all the portents being sea-related... Except I've no idea how this connects in any way, and it just feels so jarring.
I'm also just really tired of all the family stuff Bess is going through at the moment. It just feels like they've added in some huge "drama" subplot to a show that's meant to hinge on the fact it's a supernatural detective series. If I wanted to watch people toss and turn in the mess of protecting their social status, I would've turned to something else entirely.
Tbh we could've ended with the reveal of Nancy being Ryan's daughter.
I really wanted to like this. I've been craving a good mystery show, but this fell flat, so quickly. Of course, knowing it's a CW show, I wasn't too surprised by this, but they did have a decent set-up and was willing to give it a chance: Good premise, diverse cast, the standard CW filming production and iconicly cheesy writing (think: Riverdale season 1, but it should be focusing more on the actual case itself). They have a formula, and it was replicated once again into a reboot with a name most people know.
Expectations weren't too high... But a sex scene, right from the get-go and then again towards the end really just wasn't it.
Also, I don't think the ghost element to it really works, so it's difficult to see how it will play out. Nancy Drew's mysteries were fun because you got to solve the case with her while she was also figuring them out, and adding in supernatural things that are completely foreign to us as the audience sort of takes away from that experience, because we know little to nothing of it - and who knows, maybe they even change some of the typical lore to better fit their storylines. Are they just trying to reproduce another Supernatural? Because it kinda feels like it.
I'll give it a few more episodes and see how it goes.
A few comments after watching this:
- Janet being so cryptic about the Quantum realm up until a while AFTER they're actually in it is so frustraing. Of course everyone's going to have questions, it just doesn't make sense not to warn them or inform them of certain things.
- So we know because of Endgame that Scott was trapped in the QR for a few hours and 5 years passed in the normal world... How long were they trapped in the QR in this movie and why hasn't at least a year or so passed?
- Ah yes, the whole "antagonist will take the time to yap on about their backstory and plan, until it's too late to actually go ahead with it because the good guys have foiled it"... Kang had the core, yet decided to parade his new army to Janet for so much time that Scott, Hope, Cassie, Hank, and pretty much the entire rebellion showed up... How convenient!
- This movie needed Luis. It just doesn't feel like an Antman movie without him. Could've been in any of the 2 credit scenes, or even just the ending?
- The scene where huge Scott and Cassie run and hug was... Weird. They're meant to be gigantic, but there's basically nothing around them in the scene to show up perspective, so it kinda just looks like they're normal sized.
- The battle outside with Kang was... Disappointing. Didn't feel like there were any stakes - in fact, really none of the scenes except maybe the one with Kang about to kill Scott and Cassie was.
- I do wonder if the writers actually thought about actually leaving Scott and Hope in the QR at the very end... Bit dark, but what about the line, "we both have to lose"? Really just threw that one almost immediately after it was said.
- We did not need a MODOK in this movie. Like, at all.
- Cassie's debut as an actual superhero could've been a thing in this movie. It's definitely set up at the beginning: She was already doing things for good (protesting the police who were forcing out displaced persons from the blip), and had a suit... Sure, she may have still been learning how to properly fight and this is her very first adventure, but it was a good enough setup for her to debut. Her character "arc" otherwise just feels flimsy.
Interesting in seeing what happens next, so I'll stay tuned for season 2, whenever it drops.
Edit: I also knnow that Rebecca Ferguson isn't American, but I am somewhat bothered with her accent going all over the place. She wants it to be a standard American accent, but it just doesn't sounds like it sometimes-you can definitely hear between words when it sounds a little off... It has me wondering how accents and language in general would change within the silo (universe?) when the entire population (or at least a portion of it) is trapped down there like that, and how the community becomes culturally different and even somewhat less diverse as the years go on. Or maybe some things were trickled down the generations, but there's really no evidence of it since everyone just speaks English.
What the hell was Veronica's plan after she reached the Blackfoot mansion? She saw the guy who was supposedly the previous President and that was at least some visual confirmation... Why did she have to break in? Couldn't she have done what LJ did with the secret service guy and just do some surveillance? Breaking in is a law in of itself, which she should know... As a lawyer. Also, you'd think the place might have some sort of security, whether it be personnel or cameras... Why wouldn't she think she wouldn't get caught? Not even wearing some sort of disguise or something to hide her identity? Now the guy who probably also wants her dead knows who she is. So dumb!
I also feel sorry for Dr. Tancredi. She obviously was manipulated by Michael, and she absolutely did NOT have to keep that door open. She was risking a lot just for doing it, and for what? The man that lied to her since the beginning? I would've hoped she, as well, would be a little more smart about what she was doing... Hopefully it's a bit of a misdirect and she's ok.
Both of these thoughts tell me that the writer of this show just doesn't know how to write women unless they're needed for the plot, 'cos otherwise two characters who are meant to be smart and have some sense of judgement just... Don't, when it's most convenient.
Damn, those last few minutes had me literally holding my breath, thought Michael wasn't gonna make it somehow and was so relieved... But now we have to deal with the fact not everyone's gonna get past this checkpoint of escape, with the limited seating... Season finale, here we go!
I've a feeling they're all gonna try and head for the money now, because it's the only way they're gonna be able to do things (especially off book). It's kinda bad basically everyone heard where it's located, I'm sure Charles didn't exactly want to give to the other cons except Michael, so couldn't he just have, y'know, whispered it?
On that note, I feel really bad for Westmoreland, he deserved to get out of there especially after not being able to see his daughter. :(
One other thing... All this action is happening, and I can't really get myself to care about the B plot with Veronica and Nick. I know they're happening concurrently, but when you have something as thrilling as a literal prison escape happening, I don't think anyone's really caring about what happens to a lawyer who is travelling to find what was supposed to be a dead president. Yes, that pathway will help Lincoln's case in the long run, but... Just not interesting rn.
I would've loved to have seen even a snippet of what Vanessa had been up to while in hiding in the past few episodes, rather than it be told through a couple of sentences of dialogue-especially with what now feels like her uprising of sort. I'm sure she understands just how much power she has over Fisk now that he's more "soft" (even more sure she knows he'd do ANYTHING for her), and is inevitably going to exploit that somehow in the finale. That being said, it'd definitely a good choice to have her take over, since it does feel like Fisk's story has to end soon enough-he's already been the antagonist once before.
Also, not gonna lie, but I thought Elektra would be popping up this season with her not really being dead and all, and the fact that Fisk could use her against Matt somehow. You just have that feeling the criminal underground network could setup the Black Sky with him, in some nefarious way. Quid pro quo, whatever. Why else have the one scene with the coffin being dug up? Surely wasn't going to be a full season without it, just to set it up for what could've been a season 4?
Jay Ali did a fantastic job with Agent Nadeem. I'll admit that at first I wasn't really invested in the character: With DD, Foggy and Karen, it feels like we already have established different networks of morals through each of their individual jobs (a vigilante, the law, the press), but the writing has been so good, I'm sad to see him go, even though him being killed was probably the only way to resolve his situation in a way that made sense. His testimony's gonna turn the tide, I'm sure of it.
It would be interesting, albeit unlikely, if Dex and Matt were to team up... But also, I'm definitely keen to see how they absolve the Daredevil moniker, since it's been so badly dragged. I'm guessing it means Dex will probably die and his body is shown in the suit to the city? It would just mean Matt would need a different suit or identity after that, if he wishes to continue on the vigiliante route.
This episode set up the series finale, and I can't wait to see it all unfold from here!
Ok, so maybe I'm overthinking this, but what if the agent that put Naveed on the Fisk case is also corrupt? While Ray has a good reputation with the Bureau, his financial situation could make him the perfect target to take on this particular role-he's just desparate enough to want to continue to try and get those high reward take-downs that only Fisk could supply info for. Idk, maybe I'm reading into it too far, but... I'd thought about it for a while, just seems suuuper convenient that Fisk also wouldn't talk to literally any other agent than Ray, too? So maybe there's more FBI under Fisks' manipulation than we think...
Karen's going slightly more unhinged as we go on, and you can tell she wants to put Fisk back in jail just as, if not probably more than Matt, at this point :joy: That being said, the "interview" between her and Fisk was EXCELLENT. It's gonna be interesting, now that Fisk has an even more personal way to get back at her.
After all the screentime Sister Maggie has had, especially with Matt, I think we all kinda ??? saw that ending coming. There otherwise wouldn't be a point in having had so much time with the nuns... But still, that reveal was great! I genuinely love this show's writing, it's just so enjoyable to watch play out.
This is almost like a reversal of The Blacklist, where the big criminal gets to live outside of jail and can do almost anything he pleases, while the FBI are having to work alongside him to ensure intel is being channelled into detaining other criminals... But in this case, we probably don't really wanna root for the antagonist. Raymond Reddington and Wilson Fisk would probably get along just fine, if not just co-exist as acquaintances within this morally murky world... Idk, just an interesting thought I had.
My main concern is that, especially with Dex having been sold out to the papers, wouldn't the FBI have kept an even closer eye on him? Him being able to turn off the cameras so casually is so out of hand lmao, but even if they did something like password encrypt it, I'm sure Dex would've found out the combination. Just really annoying!
Fight scene between Dex and Matt was pretty great, and though we know Dex has amazing throwing skills from his baseball roots, I don't think scissors and pens are able to fully go through a desk like that. He's not got some sort of superhuman strength like Fisk, right?
The little hit-back with him in the DD suit tho..................... Whew. This show never fails to surprise!
I like that they really took this one to the max: Different vibe, different sets, different. It feels more like what an eldritch terror should've been, and I think it's what the Perverse could've been, too, since that ep was good but definitely could've been better. This season so far has been kinda meh, and though I really loved the overall plot, the execution of it feels so lackluster. With the last few episoeds remaining, it's kind of bittersweet to see such nostalgia as well as such an amazing episode so late in the series.
Not gonna lie, I'm definitely a sucker for the 'parallel universe/alternate reality/timeline' plots, and this one was actually pretty decent! Probably the best episode of the season so far.
The whole part with the town line being the barrier to this spell definitely reminded me a lot of Storybrooke, from Once Upon A Time. Pretty much the same thing happens, but in reverse.
I liked the progression of how all the witches were granted back their memories-it didn't seem rushed at all, and exploring how all our main cast were affected individually was great. I also really liked how the Imp was hidden-a smart little touch-we know Blackwood is devious, so it fit well and made sense for him, while adding that extra bit of complication to the plot, even if for a few extra minutes.
I do miss Agatha being sane, though, so that was definitely a tease, though I understand why... There's a new trio of Weird Sisters, so it'll be too jarring to replace them already, if at all. Agatha has been so out of it for so long, and well, Dorcus... Can't be revivified, so it seems.
The whole "We're endgame" line was SO cringey, not to mention I'm pretty sure it also happened in Riverdale at one point... So what the hell?! I know the two shows are somewhat interlaced since they're both based off of their respective Archie comics, but there was absolutely NO REASON for that to happen... Even if I really, really love Nabrina. Sabrina/Harvey don't have chemistry, nor do I ever really ship the couple where one of them is so completely different to the other. (Not to deny Sabrina of her humanity, but... Her being a witch is just as, if not even more important to her identity. This is, after all, a show emphasising that part of her the most).
The only thing is that Sabrina said it herself, she's still trying to figure out who she is... It feels way too soon for them to be back together, and Prudence definitely deserves to be talked with by Nick about his feelings.
THIS EP REALLY IS THE WEIRDEST
Edit: Ok, so I've been thinking about how Rosalind's development is just so jarring, and I feel like it's because we never really see her use her powers, outside of when it's actually needed? And then when she finally does again, she seems super OP? So it's pretty much just giving her powers for the sake of plot convenience, which... Yikes.
Disappointed in Ethan's character, but that's mostly for the writing aspect of it, which can be blamed on the writers. Do I like Magnum and Higgins' dynamic? Yes. Do I want them to get together? Perhaps - the chemistry is definitely there, and I enjoy their scenes together... But setting Higgy up w/ a guy just to have him do a 180 on their relationship, to give another reason that the main 2 characters are meant to be together is... Kinda tacky, ngl. And don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE a slowburn and all, but I genuinely also thought Ethan was a really great guy up until this episode, so there wasn't any need for him to be this way at all. When you can sum that down to the writers just bringing in someone who doesn't last to stack up the reasons as to why the other pairing would be better... Yeah nah, it's not the best way to demonstrate the point, imo. I'm thinking Ethan leaves by the end of the next episode ( season finale ).
There's also something to be said of normalising women and men being co-workers and not being in a relationship w/ each other, but that's clearly not happening here, either. Slowburn is done well when the pining is mutual, so it feels wrong that Juliet was already in a stable enough relationship. Should've seen this coming w/ just how J+M were looking at each other at the end of the previous episode, and how Bernado was trying to push the idea of the two being a thing in this episode.
Wasn't the best episode, but there are a few highlights, like the barking, or Rich's Gretchen Weiners-like "Death Gas 2000" phrase. It's great that we're getting another episode of Tasha's flashbacks since we haven't had one since s3 if I stand corrected, but with this being the final season and all, I'd rather prefer everything that is being alluded to in the present be of more importance - they had 4 seasons' worth of episodes to give us these cutesty newbie scenes. Sure, it ties in with the current plotline but the connection between the scientist in a past case and now feels... A little inorganic. Like a coincidence. Maybe it's 'cos we could've had hints up until this episode of her working on the gas, but didn't - so when she pops up, it's just like ???
In saying that, re: my comment on the prev. episode... The writers have always been quite sneaky. They always manage to put in all these little details form episodes into the finale, like the pieces of a whole puzzle. I've become almost hyper-aware of this. That being said, it makes me wonder why we'd had a flashback-heavy episode... So much Reade, which was kinda necessary given he, Tasha and Weller were the OG team. But I've still no idea if they just sort of bamboozled us into thinking he's dead when he somehow got out of the rubble, but we see him pass away, too... I really wouldn't put it past them to find a way, but I can't think of how... Hmm.
I really do like the episodes that take off in a different way to the usual, procedural 'team-finds-a-clue' start, so I guess this counts as one of them. Bonus points for the whole 'locked into a certain boundary with a killer' / 'hide and seek' trope, which I always find entertaining, and you have a pretty decent episode. I don't mind the B storyline with the FBI HQ since it's mostly super minimal, but Madeline's whole arc is just getting too stretched out now... There's still 8 more episodes and I'm pretty sure she'll be in all of them - sigh. She's not really interesting anymore - she's just power hungry at this point. Weiss needs to find some dirt on her to count-leverage or something... That'd actually be kinda funny, even somewhat satisfying.
Wondering about the identity of the new puzzle creator... If they're not Weiss or the two lab techies, then it has to be someone close enough to the team that has worked with them in the past to know these sorts of details. So far, no one really comes to mind, however a tiny, tiny piece of me thinks it's Reade, somehow... It would make sense, and his death was all too sudden.
Re: My comment about Brianna and Afreen from 5x01... Yeah, kinda saw that one coming after she didn't reappear any time before... Y'know.
