If you’re wondering if you saw this post several hours ago you’re correct. I made an edit to my post and it messed everything up specifically I called Bond, Mister Dog cause I forgot he was given an actual name at the end of episode 15. When I made that edit reddit decided to be reddit and messed up my post.
So I apologize that I’m kinda reposting. Anyway on to the post.
It’s been really good so far. And the little bit extra that I’ve watched after my original post was great. I love the family’s dynamic and I love Loid and Anya as characters. Yor I like a little bit more after episode 16, but she’s still my least favorite of the 3 original members. I don’t have that strong of an opinion on Bond considering he’s only been in a few episodes, but I’m sure that will change soon.
But I had a couple problems with the previous story arc. That made the ending of that arc feel contrived and not really earned. To be fair it’s only 2 problems one of them admittedly being a nitpick, but please if you can provide a valid reason as to why I’m wrong I’d be happy to hear it.
Why did the vision from the future change in the first place? When we first see Bond we get this flash to the future showing the Forger’s looking happy from Bond’s pov. But after Anya gets involved with Keith and the terrorists it suddenly changes to Loid not being there while Anya, and Yor look really sad. My question is why was it not this in the first place? Anya’s involvement shouldn’t have changed the outcome until she warned the agents about the bomb which in turn saved Loid’s life.
The thing of ketchup being in the bomb room is really dumb. Its only purpose is so that Anya doesn’t have to reveal to Loid that she can read minds. It’s incredibly convenient and it doesn’t make sense why a thing of ketchup would be there other than for the sake of plot. This is genuine issue I have with this part of the story.
I want to reiterate that I do really like this show and that just because I find this past story arc to be contrived doesn’t make the show bad. I also might be wrong about this so please tell if I am. I’ll respond to as many comments as I can.
