beccaelizabethrewatch got to There Are No Strings On Me.
... it was less miserable sad this time because I have elanorate fixits in my head already so canon not agreeing with me is only sad.
I noticed several points where my memory was an imperfect match, which is i teresting because I think about these stories a lot. At some point my wandered out of canon and remained vivid.
It is frustrating all the things the story didnt do. They supernova blew up an unknown number of people who didnt have a choice or didnt know what the Council knew, and then the show took a different direction and... kind of shrugged it off.
I want a fixit where the explosion was primarily temporal and they all wake up with new lives somewhere, or the old lives from before Time Master intervention.
The idea only Savage can save them is so ridiculous. By removing free will yhey've made it so only a handful of minds can come up with plans at all, and they all grew up in the same house and got the same training, as far as we saw. And that training considered airlocking innovative. Time Masters are just not diverse enough to have covered all the plans.
Out of power and control they opted for control. And that did not work out for them.
I like Mick's story arc. Rip asking for advice on how to outsmart hunters was almost an apology. But it's respect for Chronos, and Mick has basically no interest in being Chronos. There's room to believe the second induction process took the bits of memory he didnt want ie most of what the Time Masters did. But it's not most likely.
I still dont get Len and Sara. If that was about kissing I did not understand it one bit. All they ever talked about was Mick. And (not) killing. I did not see any of it as a kissing conversation until Sara mentioned a kiss.
I mean understandable, because *waves at both of them*, but if the story was actually trying to tell that it lost me.
Everyone gets character arc but sometimes it gets fast forwarded a bit. Like Sara takes years out to do meds and meditation to manage her mental illness / bloodlust, but it happens in a blink so it's also like dropping the story.
I like the show a lot. This is me liking the show a lot. But I did have to fill in some bits in my head on occasion.
Was not a fan of Ray and Kendra. Kept making a nose wrinkle face whenever there was kissing. I think both of them were trying to prove something about themselves and who they could be and it wasnt much about each other, so that wasnt great, but the story knows that.
So I like Ray as a character nut sometimes as a person he needs shaking.
He gets better tho.
All of them get better in very satisfying ways.
I like the twisty loops of season one but I very much liked them breaking out of them.
I shall watch more tomorrow.
