iaria2x08 'Full Metal Monk'
It was okay.
+ "You're my thing, Johnny. We're partners. And D'Avin... We're your team." - Dutch. The way she said that first line was a little heartbreaking. But how is "I'm in love with Pawter" in any way a good come back to that? They're not mutually exclusive! I don't understand this.
+ I was annoyed by Dutch leaving Johnny to chase after the latest clue about her past/Khylen. Sure, it's a pretty big clue she's chasing but it's not something that couldn't wait until she helped Johnny. Sure, she's mad at him and yes Pawter was needed to get Johnny free from Jelco but there was clearly a lot going on that they needed to work out. It feels like a combination of the urgency of learning new information + anger and hurt at Johnny for lying to her and putting Pawter ahead of the team, that pushed Dutch into making a 'fine you want to deal with it yourself then deal with it yourself' decision. I actually understand her choice but I was really hoping that Johnny's capture would lead to them coming back together and working the situation as a team. If they had Arune would probably be alive.
+ How ironic that D'Avin/Dutch discovered the truth about the Wall on their mission after Johnny lays out at the beginning how he's separated Pawter/walls/Old Town and Dutch/Khlyen/Sixes as two different things. They were never separate! He should never tried to make them so and it never made sense anyway. Annoying.
+ D'Avin's expression when the eyeball goo hit his face - LOL.
+ D'Avin and Alvis were fun.
+ I liked that Johnny tried to fight the drugging even if he only succeeded a little bit.
2x09 'Johnny Be Good'
+ Nooo, not Pawter! When Dutch told Johnny that someone was always going to die I suddenly became certain it was going to be Pawter but I thought she was going to give herself up to the mob or something similar to save Dutch. I really wish she had survived because I feel like it would have been far more interesting to watch her have to deal with the choice she made and it's fallout and to watch her addition to the team and the growing pains that would cause. I liked Johnny's plan for them!
I'm also seriously annoyed because Pawter really came into her own this season and was awesome and it feels like they killed her in service to Johnny's story, to give him angst and wrath, and usually the show is so much better than that.
+ There was a lot of wonderful Dutch/Johnny this episode. I like that they fell back into their working relationship. I loved their heart to heart. I loved that Dutch came right out and told him that she loved him. I loved Johnny's "I'm not leaving this woman's side ever." ♥
+ "You're the only one who stops it from coming out." - Dutch. Aw, Dutch.
+ "What makes me happy is to live in a world where I can have my Dutch and eat my Potter too." - Johnny, he and Dutch start laughing. LOL.
+ I'm super sad that Delle Seyah has left her grey frenemies position in the series for a more straight up bad guy. While she probably has reasons, and later reveals could maybe make this more understandable, Johnny will never forgive this and where Johnny goes so to does his team. Which means that there's no way that there will be any more Delle Seyah/Dutch hate-flirting which is just sad. ): Also her chances of dying have gone up exponentially.
+ So Johnny and Pawter got married during their drugged out haze. There's no reason for it to be there so I wonder if Johnny will get something out of being the widow of one of the Nine? I very much doubt that he can take her place (or at least I wouldn't buy it) but I feel like it has to come into play somehow.
+ I loved Pree stepping up to protect Dutch and being completely willing to go down in glorious flames with her.
+ AI Julian was a lot of fun. I loved Johnny's reaction to him. "Whoever programmed this is an asshole." Hee.
+ So the plan seems to be to weed out the weak with the walls and then convert the surviving population into Sixes -- to fight the alien invaders? Hmm. Pawter made a horrible decision (setting the people of OldTown to overload the Wall) for the greater good (save the rest of Westerley) and I wonder if that's not just foreshadowing for what's been happening in the background of the series?
