Yes, you're right. Sevika does not "discover" Vis weak point, Vi reveals it to her and she uses it immediately. I stand corrected. 😉🙂 We see this several times by Sevika, she uses whatever "tool" she can get to reach her goal and acts very free of any morals. Just like SIlco, the end justifies the means.

2023-12-20 08:55:26 +0000 UTC"You're hot, cupcake." I love Vi! Plus, it's always satisfying to see her blindside Sevika with a knee to the face 🤣🤣🤣 Also love the design of Sevika's shimmer-enhanced bionic arm. Even with this advantage, she almost loses to Vi! The only reason she almost wins is by exploiting Vi's weakness: Jinx. Very smart move by her, though. I mean, what better way to disarm Vi than telling her the truth about her little sister! Diabolical, but it also shows how desperate Sevika was in that moment! Of course, she was just seizing the moment spurred on by Vi herself! Heimerdinger is a very interesting character. In the previous episode, he mentioned how a decade of progress would go by "in the blink of an eye" but it only feels that way to him because his many years on that planet. He fails to see things from the perspective of humans, who are much shorter-lived than he is! Marcus is another interesting character. Yes, he took what he thought was a good deal at the time because of greed (yes, it's still greed even though it was spurred on by the thought of giving his family a better life). He honestly thought no one was going to get hurt all those years ago. Now he's stuck in a rotten deal where he has give a lot more than he gets. Yet, he can't make himself the martyr because of his daughter and probably because he does like the few benefits he gets from being allied with Silco. Silco's dark baptism of Jinx is just so creepy and yet shows just how devoted to each other these two are. Still, gives me the heebie jeebies 😬😬😬 Just ignore the fact that I said "heebie jeebies" 😅🤣 I like that Jayce isn't completely corrupted in this episode as he immediately leaves Mel in bed to go to Viktor's bedside! Also, he's finding out that his initial tactic of "ruling with an iron hand" wasn't the right one, even if he had good intentions.

2023-12-19 22:24:46 +0000 UTCFinally someone that gets Marcus side! Sooo many people just spew hatred on Marcus, wishing he'd blown himself up, but they don't even think about his daughter. And Marcus was trapped from the first encounter with Silco basically, so it's not like he knew Silco was going to be a horrible choice to go to either. He's probably one of the ones I feel worst for in the entire show, his situation is just completely and utterly hopeless, he hates himself so much and all he can do is try to keep his daughter safe.

You're absolutely right Haylo, it only get's better from here. 🤩 Since you didn't directly comment on it, did you notice the chemistry between Vi and Caitlyn? It starts at their first encounter in the prison. You can see Vis surprise (at least I see it this way) when the noises of the guard disappear and just the young enforcer remains to take her with her. You can hear the music change in this moment from dark foreboding to a lighter, more positive mood, when she sees Caitlyn for the first time without any bars between them. And Caitlyns look lingers on Vi for several seconds, too. In the brothel it becomes quiet obvious, especially when the leaving Vi sees how comfortable Caitlyn around women is. And at the end of the epsiode they're downright flirting with each other. Despite the differences in their upbringings, they're very similar at heart and complete each other. I love love love their chemistry. 💖 Caitlyns awkward Mathilda-monologue was the most adorable and funny moment in the show so far. 😂 I love how Caitlyn crosses lines all the time: Figuratively when she talks to Jayce even though her parents forbade her to do so, when she investigates the attack at the hexgate even though she was on duty to guard her mothers tent at the fair and when she goes to Stillwater Hold Prison to investigate further even though she is not an enforcer anymore. Oh and when she forges Jayce signature and uses his position to get Vi out of prison. Literally she crosses a line when she crosses the red line to get closer to Vi's cell. Marcus is trapped in a relationship he can't get out of, unless he is willing to put his daughter's or his own life in danger. He didn't sacrifice himself with the grenade, because then his daughter would be alone in the world. You can see in the picture on his desk, that his daughter painted, that mommy is up in heaven. 💔😭 His situation is of his own making, so I don't feel much pity for him, but I feel really sorry for his little daughter, who is completely innocent, but will suffer the most when her fathers decisions come crushing back on him. Fathers (fatherfigures) and their daughters is an ongoing theme in this show and it has no happy end for anyone envolved, as far as I can see. The fight between Sevika and Vi is easily one of the best fight scenes I ever saw in movies or tv shows, animated or live action. The animators must have studied lots of boxing and mma fights, because every little detail is so believable and real. Both of them fight according to their characters: Vi angry and impatient, Sevika more controlled and aware of her defense. Vi got the upper hand because years and years of pent up hate and anger wanted out. In the end, Vi looses because Sevika discovered and used her weak point, Powder. 🤔 Some details I noticed: - Caitlyn deliberately only shoots at Sevikas shimmer arm to destroy it and so to keep her from killing Vi, she doesn't kill if it's not necessary. You can see all three holes in the shoulder joint. - The new "Last Drop" has Silcos symbol, an eye, over the entrance. - Mel with open hair on her bed: *chefs kiss - When Vi starts her parcours down to the undercity, after running down the sloped pipe, you can see her look back up to Caitlyn and smile for a brief moment, when she sees that Caitlyn follows her. - The shot of Vi jumping in front of the beautiful wall painting of a woman is the most beautiful shot of this show so far - in a show that is filled with beautiful shots 🤩 - When the guy with the red jacket starts to mess with Vi I literally thought: "Dude, look at her muscles and her confidence, don't mess with this woman!" 🤣 - We see this guy again later during the Imagine Dragons cameo - he sits behind the drummer, clad only in his shirt, inhaling Shimmer and probably commiserating the loss of his jacket...😅 Sorry this got a bit long, I hope I didn't annoy you, I just like this show (and talking about it) so much. Just as your reactions to it. 😍😅🙈
