Not to Monday morning quarterback too much but it makes sense that Samara is not a good choice to lead a fire team. It’s true that she has centuries of experience but all of that experience came alone. She’s a justiciar, she doesn’t work with a team. I thought Alex would be fine when he made the choice but looking back it makes sense why it was the wrong choice.
I get the temptation to save scum it but nobody said this was gonna be a perfect run. The whole point of these games is that everyone has their own story. This is part of Alex’s story now.
I really liked the part where they casually skimmed over guidelines meant to address online racial hate, as though this isn't like a real problem and maybe taking a light-hearted approach to the discussion is just normalizing it further.
Nothing like a room full of people of one colour, laughing about this stuff that will rarely impact them (Abby's totally valid, gender-based negative experiences aside).
Good lord, people really hear whatever they wanna hear with this show sometimes.
I can assure you that everyone on the Beastcast thinks that racism is bad. You can breathe easy.
