Yes, I agree. I understand where the "creepy" label comes from, but I don't think the strong feelings are justified. Too me, it was creepy cute in a nerdy way, no biggy. Palmer's been very caring about her.
I like the season so far. I feel they've stayed exceptionally consistent through the seasons. Dialogues are simple, effective, and tender, characters are warm, relationships are human, acting, facial expressions, lighting effects, -- it's all been consistent. I think they've done amazing job,
To me, the action is fodder. The action scenes are quick, and I like that. It's not what drives the story, but it gives it dynamic and pace, some excitement.
Felicity is growing up, growing more independent in a sense. The main void in the plot after S2 is the lack of side stories in the city. But, the sory is moving forward, and I am excited about that.
