Just a little random fun fact about this ep lol
Len is played by Tom Cullen, who was Tatiana's boyfriend at the time. They had been dating for years so their chemistry was real and they always talked about how much they loved acting together. Also Tatiana said it was hilarious having to kick him in the balls lmao
Finally caught up and am amazed that you're almost done :(

I definitely got a bit protective (of the jealous variety) with Brie and Scott. π«£π€£ STAY AWAY FROM HIM BITCH!!! π€¬
Ya I do feel bad for Mud in a lot of ways.. and you're right about PT emotionally manipulating her in that scene. I just feel like I don't fully understand her emotional logic so she's a bit frustrating for me. It's definitely unnerving to think about what PT is going to do now that his village has turned against him. He seems like he's caged and without many options, but as you said, that may make him the most dangerous!
I do feel bad that Ira lost Susan. (If he survives, otherwise I guess they are gone together lol). But I do think Ira truly cares about Susan and their relationship from his end was so selfless and honorable. I think it's too muddy to be able to say that Susan was honorable or true with her care for him in return given all the gray areas and the way she never wanted to find him a cure and stuff. But I think that relationship was all Ira ever really had and he truly loved her. I do feel bad that Susan died trying to help and protect us. Like I said in my outro, she clearly isn't all bad and she has a lot of redeeming qualities. I mainly turn off towards her in the Ira situation specifically. So ya, in some ways it's really a bummer we lost her, and I feel really horrible that Ira lost her even though their relationship wasn't what he truly deserved. It was all he had. Hopefully he survives and can find a love that's more true and healthy.
SO EXCITED FOR THESE FINAL 4 EPISODES!!! I think I'm more excited than I've ever been for any show given how everyone talks about the ending of this show and how fantastic it is. This has been so much fun. π

Hello Kelsea. This was an episode that I found interesting and entertaining in so many was. What was so intriguing to me was that we had these two story lines, Krystal and the clones in the city and Cosima, Susan, Ira, etc. on the island. The Krystal scenes were hilarious, while the ones on the Island were dire and dangerous. But as funny and entertaining as Krystal was, we did learn a hecka a lot of Neolutions plans, as we also did on the island. How she falls ass backwards into all these discoveries is beyond my comprehension, but I do love her for it. Youβre right though, a little bit of her goes a long way, and if they had tried to incorporate her more into the show it may have become tedious, but I still will miss her antics. By the way, I hope you didnβt become jealous when Brie was flirting with Scott, I know how much you like him.π₯°π₯°π₯°
I know it may sound strange, after what she did, but I feel a little sorry for Mud. Iβm not condoning her actions in any way, but that sh**head Westmorland had his hooks into her pretty deep. We know that she was a lost and troubled soul and any scam artist, which P.T. definitely is, knows when to push the right buttons. I get the feeling he sees Mud getting closer to Susan, notice the looks Mud and Susan are giving each other when Susan is putting the drugs into his IV., and then he starts into his bulls**t about removing the cow bell and to forgive herself and how she has been a great comfort to him. Just reeling her back into his sick world. Just goes to show you what a despicable human being he is. And thank God Susan and Ira gave Cosima the info to tear his little island down. But with this turn of events, what new horrors can this mean. A caged and cornered animal is a dangerous thing.
I know I may be in the minority here, but I was a little sad about Susanβs fate. I know how you feel about the Susan and Ira dynamic, I agree with you about all of that, it really is sort of disturbing, but I do think that they really did care for each other, unlike some of the other relationships that were based more on power dynamics.
We are into the final four episodes and I am so excited to watch them with you and the rest of the crew. It will be one fantastic and exhilarating ride. Get the tissues ready and tighten those seatbelts. Have a wonderful weekend. By the way. Congratulations on getting 5000 subscribers on your Youtube channel. Keep up the great work and hopefully youβll get to 10000 soon. πππ
