Loved that the Morrigan made no apologies for being evil. Occasionally writers wimp out and trying to give characters like this one little thing to make them likable. I think I missed how they got the painter out of her place for the little detox session. I do love Kenzei and the Siren (blanking on Dyson's partner's name at the moment) they're a great comedic team.
I, personally, would have liked Lauren to have a different reason for being a slave to the Light Fae than a gf in a stasis pod or whatever. It's like the creative energy of the team couldn't rise to anything above the moronically predictable. It could have been a relative, it could have been so many things but NO because a docbloc has to occur. I hope in Season 3 they can think of something better than this merrygoround of Dyson/Lauren availability, any more of it gets silly.
I also hope that all the characters are given a little more thought. They have a really interesting premise and it seems to me, it's all too often let down by lack of overall arc direction. I find all our six team members engaging and interesting plus Lachlan, Morrigan, Vex, huge potential. i fear it's going to end up as our cast chasing tail of the week, what a let down of something that could be so much better. I enjoy the campiness, the tongue in cheek but the Fae of the week are weak and the continuity is poor.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.

Maybe we will see laser granny or baba yaga again? My favorite part of season 1 was the luck fae in ep 5 and 8.
ReplyDeleteI think the Morrigan is more selfish than evil. Vex seems more dangerous, but def like the seeing the dark in an ep.
