iaria2x04 'Ship Outta Luck'
+ I loved that Zeph managed to get her own memory back without outside help. Her video to herself was fun. Also I love that her first thought was that she needed to save Dutch.
+ I loved Johnny's resourcefulness and that he managed to get them all free.
+ Okay, wow, Johnny definitely has some pent up aggression towards his brother that he really should use his words about. Why did he need D'Avin to be in the halo which could be dangerous? The only thing I can think of is to keep him in the psych ward until Johnny was ready for the escape but wouldn't it have been easier (and safer) for him to simply pretend to be crazy? Then there was him punching him which was also rather unnecessary.
+ Dutch calling Lucy "the love of (Johnny's) life" made me aww. As did her following it up with "a piece of my heart is gone too". I'm glad that we got this little moment to see Dutch's grief over Lucy.
2x05 'A Bout, A Girl'
+ "She's ruined the one thing that keeps me getting back up again. The thing that keeps me grounded. My gravity." - Dutch I love when Dutch speaks about her love for Johnny and how important he is to her but here... :( It's never fun to see Dutch and Johnny at odds and this time is particularly painful.
+ I am really worried about John. The Lady gave him everything he wanted - a normal happy life with a woman he loved - only it was his best friend and now his emotions are so confused and their relationship is strained, and then the Lady killed Lucy. He is hurting. Him creating Nucy and trying to reform a bond is possibly not helpful in the long run. He's not dealing with his mixed up emotions about Dutch and their falsified marriage. Or his feelings about the Dutch/D'Avin relationship.
I absolutely get why he's avoiding talking about it because it is a messed up situation with no obvious happy ending. Especially since he knows that Dutch and D'Avin are in love with each other and that Dutch doesn't feel the same way about him. So what's there to say? But I'm not sure where this is all going or how to satisfactorily resolve this situation and it makes me nervous about his fate. I'd hope this show wouldn't give us a sad or bittersweet ending but I can't rule it out. Like what's the happy endgame for Johnny here? I have no idea. It makes me sad.
+ Not sure how I feel about the show killing Lucy and then basically just bringing a version of her back.
+ I really liked that final Delle Seyah/Jaq talk and her claiming her place as his mother. I liked seeing her open up emotionally.
+ The Delle Seyah/Aneela reunion was great. I love that they couldn't take their eyes off each other (not even Aneela to look at her son). I loved their smiles and little hi's to each other and Delle Seyah falling to her knees out of relief. It was very lovely.
+ I love that Delle Seyah is having dreams of D'Avin encouraging her. It was clear that it wasn't the first time either. I just find it delightful and it makes my heart - that loves this weird family group as a family - happy.
