AJC: Something’s going to happen to Laurel here, I can feel it.
AJ: Holy shit!
AJC: AHHH. So it’s not Oliver. OH MY GOD.
AJ: I can’t believe he’s the first one to be declared safe
AJC: I thought they’d let it linger longer.
AJ: I am so worried!
AJC: Do we think moving forward we’ll be able to check a single character off as safe each episode?
AJ: I think that’s their plan, yes. But all I know is that Michaela and Connor NEED NEED NEED to be safe or I will riot and I don’t see any possible way that it’s Wes. So in that context, I guess we could guess Laurel or Bonnie and I’d only be okay wit the latter so yup, here we are again with me stressed out over this ridiculous show.
AJC: I will go full Daenerys and burn cities if they aren’t safe. Wes is generally always exempt from any harm, so I agree. It could be Asher, but again, I wouldn’t be phased.
AJ: Asher might be the most expendable of the five. But I’d like to think that they wouldn’t have Connor be dumped THEN also kill him off.
AJC: That’s just cruel.
AJ: I guess we’re going to have to wait but it’s making me crave spoilers!
AJC: I won’t actively look, but won’t be too upset if some of my worries are calmed with some info leaks. And with that ending, I’ll revisit my post-show wish from last week: a large glass of wine, please.
AJ: As long as I know Connor is safe I’ll breathe easy… And please upgrade me to a bottle.
AJ: Final thoughts on the episode?
AJC: A strong sophomore episode for the third season, but not quite as strong as the premiere. So insanely invested in Connor at this point; he definitely has my heart and my attention. Hoping for more development re: Wes/Maggie next week and the week after. Special praise goes to the powerful monologues and the careful handling of difficult topics. This season is shaping up to be the strongest yet, as it’s honing in on what makes it so special. 7/10 in terms of score for me!
AJ: I agree that it didn’t flow as effortlessly as the first episode but it did further set up some plot developments that will work their way into the season. Also, similarly to you, I was very pleased to see my favorite character get the spotlight. I think 7/10 is a fair score and I’m excited to see where next week brings us!
Rating: 7/10
