iariaEpisode 1
+ The notes and videos old Myfanwy left for new Myfanwy were great and very effective. The whole idea is both terrible (in that I can't even imagine, it's rather horrifying) and excellent. Very dramatic in the best way.
+ I like the whole concept of the Gestalt and find their relationship with Myfanwy very intriguing. I loved that when Robert and Eliza walked away we see that Teddy and Alex were watching.
Episode 2
+ Myfanwy is clearly a lot stronger than she's supposed to be and I wonder if her anxiety medicine is actually camouflaging something else that is dampening her ability?
+ I loved Eliza telling off her target when he tried to stop her from leaving.
+ Myfanwy really needs to work on her poker face or I'm going to start wondering how no one is noticing how off she is.
+ Very curious about why Conrad didn't tell Linda. Is he suspicious of her and is protecting Myfanwy? Is it a power play of some sort?
Episode 3
+ I seriously love everything about the Gestalt and their relationship with Myfanwy. I loved the whole sequence where the four of them save her at the station. The Eliza/Myfanwy kiss and everyone's reactions to it, her talk with Robert beforehand and the moment between her and Teddy on the stairs with the hand-touch - she is rolling with this one person in four bodies surprisingly well! I'm very much enjoying it. I loved that moment at the end when the Gestalt all touch Myfanwy's jacket as they return home. Of course, it's even more complicated by Myfanwy not being sure if she can trust them and that affecting how she reacts to them. I find myself really hoping this doesn't all blow up in her face.
+ I liked seeing some of the Gestalt's past and their private life at home.
+ How the heck is Monica getting all this support to go rogue? I'm really surprised that Ingrid can do all this without getting anyone's permission. Actually is she Myfanwy's assistant or second-in-command? Being a Pawn made me think she wouldn't have too much power but she's shown to be surprisingly autonomous and I suppose the fact that she's on the board at all does give her power. So the question becomes why is she helping Monica so much and why hasn't she told anyone else?
+ I really don't get what Conrad's plan was considering he lied to his boss and then immediately told her boss who then ratted him out? That just got Linda mad at him for no reason! It was dumb.
+ I don't trust anything the vulture said. He was trying to stir shit up and make Myfanwy doubt everything, we see in his interview with Conrad that he's a manipulative shit, so while he may have peppered truth in his attempted manipulation I feel like Myfanwy's best bet is to simply ignore everything he said.
Episode 4
+ The Gestalt and their relationship with Myfanwy continue to be the most best part of this series. It is so interesting! The Myfanwy/Teddy/Alex scene was so good. The back and forth between the bodies worked really well. I love so much that they sent two bodies down to talk with her to try and dilute the affect she has on them because being around her messed with their head and affected their ability to compartmentalise, and yet even with that they weren't trying to push her away again. They're don't want to cut the relationship in the bud, they want to take it slow. That little moment where she stops Teddy from chewing his nail and he pulls her close was great, and I wanted to see where that was going if Alex hadn't seen the file. Myfanwy's reactions during that scene were also interesting. She seemed so pleased during the entire conversation. She likes how much she affects them.
+ I liked seeing the Gestalt working together on a case.
