I rewatched the pilot before giving it to my dad, and yeah, wow. It's like a totally different show!
"eh, another badass genre woman who has trouble expressing her emotions; I'll probably end up liking her, especially after that one thing she did, but couldn't they do something else? Also, that actress isn't bad, but I wish she'd be a little less flat. It must be the stress of hiding her obvious non-American accent."
THIS. EXACTLY THIS. WHAT FOOLS WE WERE.
"God damn you, writers, you GIVE THAT BACK TO HER RIGHT NOW!"
GIVE OUR EMOTIONALLY COMPLEXIFIED OLIVIA BACK TO US RIGHT NOW! Seriously, this is the one big problem I'm having with the Amberverse: they've gotta resolve this without killing off every consequence of three years of character development or IT WILL BE AWFUL.
And Charlie! Poor, redundant Charlie. I've kinda grown to love Scarlie even more, but Charlie and Olivia had such a great relationship.
Did we ever find out what John Scott and his cronies were up to?
NSA triple-agents? I... don't really care if that stays unresolved forever. Tv series' lives are short. We have better things to be watching.
...That was totally obvious to everyone but me, wasn't it?
Uhhhhhh Amber!livia kinda came right out and said as much to Nerd!Lincoln, in her exposition quick debrief to him at the beginning of the season. You can haz selective hearing? ;P But yeah, if they can tie the flight victims into the Red!verse/shapeshifters, that'd be pretty awesome. Even if it meant dredging up John Scott again.
let me hook you on this one! You won't regret it. :D
The crack!fairy strikes again! Have I mentioned thank you? THANK YOU!
