... If your theory about Rebels and Clone Wars proves to be correct, I will... Well, not eat my hat, but scream loudly and fangirlishly. That said, I would be very surprised if the show went there, and if Obi Wan's daughter wasn't a force user, too, and a very strong one at that.
Yeah, I don't EXPECT them to go there, but I want them to so bad. I'll be really surprised, though, if Sabine and Satine aren't related somehow. apparently Obi-Wan will be in it at some point, so hopefully we'll get something there.
keeping in mind the added perspective of Abbie's own abandonment of and reconciliation with the person she loves the most
Ahh, thank you for this. I was sorta wondering about Abbie's new POV on Katrina, like, her son's the Horseman of Death, come on, but ofc Abbie had completely the wrong idea about Jenny and they went from being estranged to having each other's backs, so it now makes sense to me that she could see that risk with Katrina and Henry.
I choose to interpret this as Jenny's love for Abbie being stronger than resentment magically amplified 10000%:D I hadn't thought of it that way, but yessss. ♥ sibling love

Yeah, I've been sideeyeing some comments about shooting the bank teller. We don't know how long she'd been there, which is part of the interpretation of her actions, but, IMO, if she hadn't shot, either the bank teller would have, or Abbie would have been forced to shoot.
With Abbie/Katrina and Katrina/Henry, I also think that it's possible Abbie doesn't know whether or not she'd pick Jenny over everything else.
It's so strange to me how fandom is responding, like, there's Reyes protecting Abbie when the lady was clearly about to shoot, and that makes her the baddie? *eyeroll* If she WERE evil, she'd've let the teller shoot Abbie before she took her out!
being the cynic I am, I wonder how fandom would've reacted if Reyes were a handsome male white character instead no, never mind, that's too depressing
Ooh, really? IDK, I mean, Jenny's comment about not being left to rot for 13 years struck home in the previous ep, but do you think Abbie would risk the fate of the world for Jenny? Clearly Ichabod's emotions get the best of him (determination to rescue Abbie >>>> the risk of loosing Moloch's army upon Earth *headdesk*), but I figure Abbie to be more pragmatic myself...although I'm not 100% on that. You've got me conflicted now!
Oh, fandom would love cute white male Reyes. There'd probably be an essay or two by now about how Jenny should understand that boy!Reyes was just doing his job way back when,
I don't think Abbie actually WOULD, but I think it's possible she doesn't know, especially in light of the lengths Ichabod went to to get her back, and also knowing that a large part of Jenny's criminal record was that she kept being possessed by a demon that wanted her to kill Abbie, and incarcerating herself was her way of keeping that from happening. Between them, that's a whole lot of devotion and sacrifice to have piled on you in a very short period of time, especially when you've been a relative loner for years, and are probably fairly proud of that.
HTGAWM: - About the detective: That's the one plot detail that I can't wrap my mind around. Is he involved in the murder too? - About bisexuality: Yeah, I'm sad that the show seems to take place in that usual parallel universe where bisexuality doesn't exist. I for one am not saying that Aiden is bisexual, he can be straight and have experimented, that's perfectly reasonable, but bisexuality should at least have been mentioned in the conversation between Aiden and Michaela. - About Michaela's reaction: I didn't see anything wrong with it. (Apart from the inexistence of bisexuality mentioned above.) - About Connor's attitude: This headcanon is interesting. In the first 2 episodes, Connor was a bit of an ass, in a charming way, but in episode 3, he was more of a jerk, in a mean way. I was surprised by it, but I considered that 2 episodes was a bit light to say that he was OOC in episode 3. But I rewatched his scene with Aiden and indeed his smile abruptly drops when Aiden says: "We were in boarding school together." If that is why he

-I wonder if the detective found out the the husband was up to something else entirely, and maybe thought it would hurt Annelise more than covering for him would? That, or someone got to him before he met with Annelise and threatened his wife (unlike Annelise, he actually does seem to be fond of his spouse.) He doesn't seem to be a terrible person (outside of cheating on a wife with cancer...) or someone who would deliberately endanger another person, regardless of ho angry he may be with them
( ... )
- The "gay for you" trope already loses points in a context that doesn't acknowledge bisexuality. And here, it's actually "not gay for you, just experimenting," which is even more dismissive.
- I really don't remember Michaela saying anything homophobic. She was hurt that he had lied to her, and if he was secretly gay, she didn't want them to get married, but she even said explicitly that she would remain friends with him if that was the case. She was quite supportive considering the situation.
At worst, I see Abbie's suspicions of Katrina a fear that she'd prioritize her son over preventing the apocalypse. My view of Abbie is that even if she did start feeling something for Ichabod, she'd acknowledge he still respects his marriage vows, and if nothing else she'd respect that.
No, Annelise's scummy yet very attractive boyfriend, why are you lying like that?
Possibly the husband was doing something else scummy but far away from where Lila was murdered, and he figured it was just better not to worry her. ...I actually think the detective doesn't know what the husband was doing, but just doesn't think that he killed that girl. (The husband definitely knows something though, I can feel it. I'm cool with him being killed in a few months.)
Also: Annalise and her detective (ex?)boyfriend have so much chemistry oh my god their scenes are INTENSE. ...if he only it didn't involve cheating on his wife with cancer, damn.
I understand Michaela's thought process, but I'm still not cool with some of the stuff she said. But I sympathize? Whereas I'm really irritated with Connor (especially for outing Aiden jfc). ...but I also want Michaela and Connor to be hyperambitious bffs. (Aiden has a type wow.)
Yeah, I'm assuming that he found out the husband was doing something that would hurt Annelise even more, but not something that would make him a danger to her.
Totally agreed about the chemistry. And I know i'm being narratively manipulated somewhat to make me more ok with Annelise's cheating (husband who has affairs with students and who she's frightened of) than his (wife has cancer) and maybe he was planning to leave his wife because he fell for someone else before learning about the cancer and deciding to satay and support her, but that manipulation really is working.
I totally agree agree about what we want with Michaela and Connor.
