However Theo and Tabby don’t have any depth to them
Theo has some color to him, but Tabby is the worst sort of “sex kitten” cliche there is. She has absolutely no personality except for “sexy” and “brutal.” While that is an okay combination it has to be tempered by something–an interesting backstory, a motivation, a heartbreak. Anything! But she’s really just decoration for her brother’s story. Bothersome on multiple levels. What’s even more troubling is that they’ve turned Barbara into the same sort of decoration for Theo. She started off this season so wonderfully crazy and fascinating, but now she’s reduced to being a prop for both Theo and Tabby to play with.
We have butch who lost his hand and being tortured by Tabitha. (I HATED THAT SO MUCH)
I can be okay with torture as a narrative selling point but I don’t like how it’s being done for comic effect. Pain and torture and psychological breaks can be good drama, but not when the reason behind it is to get a chuckle from your audience–like Tabby whipping Butch or his new mallet hand.
Also I did not like Kristen dying.
I want to see how they handle Ed after Kristen’s death before I decide how I feel about her death. If they sweep it under the rug and make it just relevant for one episode, then it was way too soon–the relationship should have been built more. But if this is the thing that really pushes him to full on villain and we begin to see him seeking out those violent tendencies (mixed with his signature narcissism) then I might be more okay with the abrupt turn around.
So one can think Jerome is very much alive and being tested on so that when he emerge he would have his signature face and look.
Yes I wondered if that’s the route they are going to go.
